monday poll

i am going to do a thing.

on mondays. a poll (duh). a which-would-you-choose poll. not particularly innovative, i know. but i want to know who you are and i think the majority of you are here for design. so let’s see…which would you choose?

today it’s kitchens. the only rule is you can only change one thing in whatever room you pick. as in, i love everything BUT those bare lightbulbs. so i’d change those. but if it’s down to everything but the lightbulbs AND the hardware or floors….too bad. you can only eliminate one. and you are stuck with the rest. FOR EV ER!

it’s not like i’m picking any ugly kitchens…maybe not my taste or yours but definitely not ugly.

oh….and no toss ups!! i don’t want to know your close second or tie. you. have. to. choose. one.

this korean vitamin c serum is apparently a dupe of skinceuticals $160 vitamin C and ferulic serum. for 20 bucks i aim to find out.

have a wonderful weekend my ding dongs.

oh! and wine country came out on netflix! ok, that’s it. bye.

may vibes

wallpaper (i am over palm wallpaper in general. aren’t you? i like this one though. maybe it’s the bananas) / chandelier (very snazzy) / chinoiserie jar / rug / foral bag / chairs (i would definitely go with the yellow wood and green here.) / cabinet ( it’s got a super versatile vibe, yes?) / candle (sounds intriguing) / floral swimsuit / screen ( you go sasha bikoff. the palm, the chintz lightening bolts, the leopard. yes.) / tanning drops (like what even?! pretty sure i need these) / shews (love these nude heels. wearable height and a sexy toe thing happening)

sorry for the slim posting this week. just busier than usual.

friday things

hey friday friends. i’ve had a busy week. i spent THREE days shopping for something for fiona to wear to her school dance. three. days. i brought home so many choices. none of them. 14 year old girls are literally the worst person to shop for. ended up wearing this one.

you can see her in it here.

that kitchen up there. total dream. the entire house is. inside and out.

i made this lamb bolognese recently and i can’t wait to make it again. however, i used white wine to deglaze and you should too. also i didn’t use celery bc i didn’t have it. and it was still so good. also i split the recipe in half and it worked perfectly. but i would absolutely make the entire recipe for a dinner party of about 6-8.

i also made this potato salad for easter and i will never, ever make another potato salad. i think the key is that famous sauce stuff. which i had never heard of. but it’s now in my fridge and i’ve since put it in chicken salad and tuna salad. 100.

an absolutely adorable top. this one too. all you braless girls go forth.

i just got the vit c powder from the ordinary to mix with my serums but i’ve heard this is legit amaze. perhaps i’ll try it next. very curious about all the different price points for literally the same shit. like why is this one $88?

this most pretty photo diary of new orleans will make you want to go immediately.

all of them. in order.

this is the best thing i’ve read all week.

for the home

i’ve had my eye on these items for a bit. i keep pinning rugs. i’ll never buy rugs. i can’t have rugs. i can have a bathmat. nevertheless…i pin rugs.

i would love this pale pink scalloped umbrella for our back deck. well, i’d like a pergola but that’s another story. (if pink isn’t your color there are LOADS of other colors available.)

this rattan flying saucer looking pendant light is exactly what i’ve been looking for to replace this light i currently have over my dining room table. in fact i am selling. so if you know of anyone interested please holler)

hotel magique prints. i like the color and graphic nature.

i like this emerald dhurrie. again, on the small side as a bathmat or entry, something i can pull up when i’m leaving so cats don’t exorcist all over it.

restoration hardware cloud sofa. is this my retirement sofa?

weird panther throw. i like it. it’s sold out.

the artist in his studio.

checkmate shag rug. i like a lot. can’t have it. still like.

palm and tassel fan. i’m toying with the idea of this on a wall in my black tv room.

this simple quilted bedspread. i’m into a bare minimum on my bed. like, a sheet, a lightweight comforter and 2 pillows. bye.

bathmats. the only rug i can have. make it cute. the end.

lenny kravitz's farm

happy friday friends. no friday things today. just THE thing you need on a friday. lenny kravitz shuffling about barefoot in his farmhouse.

this isn’t your ordinary farmhouse.

that’s for sure.

first of all it’s in brazil. second of all it’s more like a compound nestled among waterfalls and verdant mountains. technically it’s a farm or “fazenda” and it’s shut your damn mouth amazing.
