Inspiring Interiors - Colorful Eclectic

When I stumbled across this interior space, one word came to mind, Domino.  The eclectic design paired with bright colors and beautiful textures called to mind the design aesthetic of this former publication. It is still on my list to pick up the limited edition, Domino Quick Fixes - I plan on doing so this week. I adore the gold and blue chairs in the living room and the gold stripes that create a parlor-feeling in the dining room.  Have any of you picked up the new issue of Domino?

Pastel Biscuits

I recently discovered the blog, Griottes and was absolutely taken aback by the stunning photography, recipes and food styling. These lightly hued pastel biscuits are just so pretty, the perfect gift for a host or house guests.

The Weekend That Was

(Spring, the most beautiful season, yet the most fleeting. Here an array of fallen cherry blossom petals)

(We hosted brunch for my boyfriend's parents Saturday, the table setting was white and gold)
(Our brunch - whole wheat challah bread french toast, turkey bacon and blueberries)
(A walk in Brooklyn Bridge Park after brunch, nothing is quite like this world-class view on a warm and sunny day)
(Clouds reflecting in a pond in the Park)
(Incredibly inexpensive frames picked up at a thrift store, I plan to do wonders with them and just a hint, it involves gold)
(Finished the weekend with healthy Asparagus and Broccoli soup, as the weather turned cold and rainy, a drastic change from Saturday, and this proved to warm me from the inside out)
