kate and andy spade's nyc digs courtesy of the selby

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!

affordable art week: little brown pen

I've been looking for artwork to hang on the wall space between my couch and dining table.  I was hoping to find something light, white and airy to go along with the inspiration room I'm modeling my main living area off of.  About a month ago, I found an amazing blog called little brown pen.  It turns out  the blog is completely devoted to gorgeous photos of Paris, and has a wonderful (and inexpensive) Etsy shop to boot!  I'm thinking it might be neat to hang a series of 18 prints (the black and white series) on the wall.  For less than $100, I can fill my entire wall with beautiful photos of Paris.  As Ina would say, "How easy is that?"
