searching for warmth

I have to admit that it's been a little difficult for me to get back into the swing of things in DC.  One of the toughest adjustments I've had to make in the last week and a half is embracing the cool, fall weather. If you were just coming off two and a half weeks in 80 degree plus weather, you would feel me.  These autumnal pics are helping me adjust.  If I can't have warm weather, I might as well have warm decor!

I can't think of a better way to kick off my return than Kate and Andy Spade's NYC apartment that was recently photographed by Todd Selby.  While their home has appeared in a few magazine spreads over the years, the Selby photos give us a slightly more in-depth peek at their home.

I hope you're as inspired by their home and art collection as I am.  (Also check out the adorable photo of Andy with their daughter, Bea!)

Their entry hall is the inspiration for the makeover I'm doing on my own!

I'm back!

Zapatillas | Bocas del Toro, Panama

Six weeks after my last post, I'm officially back to blogging!  The past weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind of activities.  I spent a week out in California campaigning for one of my company's clients, then went on an AH-mazing vacation to Panama with some friends from college (the photo above is one of my favorites from the trip!).  Now, I'm back in DC, getting settled back in to work and plotting the next projects around my house.  First up is (finally) painting the interior of my condo!  Stay tuned friends. 

P.S.  Thanks to the many people who have put a bug in my ear about updating the blog.  Glad to know I have such faithful readers!
