Remodel.

So, pardon the iPhone photos, but something exciting is going on in my condo!!! My uncle tore out the wet bar (it was pretty wretched looking, and poorly constructed) and we've picked out tile and sink/faucet so far for the re-installation. He'll be making a new cabinet, and new shelves.

Here's the new drop in sink:

and the kick-ass faucet:

We'll use three high of this as the back splash...

And this will be the counter top!! (so excited)

Here is the empty space now:

And this is Calvin in the early morning. Obviously nothing to do with the remodel, except for the fact that he's glad that the demo work is over, so he can go back to eating peacefully.

Thoughts?

ps apologize for the delayed post. Internet was down for an hour this morning...obviously we're all hooked because it became quite the social hour.

Already?

Gasp! It's already Monday again?
Loving her look.

On another note (a musical one, to boot), have you checked out Adele's new kick ass CD "21"? You really should.

New Boyfriend.

I always try to keep you informed in all areas, including my personal life. As such, I'd like to inform you that I have recently found a new boyfriend, conveniently from the same source as the last one.

Drum roll please...here he is!!! Mr. Mountain Man.

and a backside view, in case you're curious.

If you have forgotten about my last bf, here he is...

Gorgeous right? I think the new guy is definitely a suitable replacement.

What's all the hype?

I was just wondering. Does anyone own a Mason Pearson brush? Is it worth the $? Does it live up to all the hype?

Anthropologie has recently jumped on the wagon and started selling them, so I got curious.

G&S

By now you realize the deep love I have for Scott & Garance. They're individual style is flawless. Put them together and you have an explosion of perfection.

Check out this great article on the pair here at NY mag.

and a few favorites of pictures and sketches...

Back

To say that I was running late today is a bit of an understatement, gov'na! (best line from Easy A). Our travels back from Capetown were challenging to say the least, and I spent yesterday un-burrying myself from emails and phone calls.

I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of Spring and totally hooked on these bold and bright colors!!

right so this image is not bright, but it is BOLD for sure. That corset looking top? Oh it's a dress...unbuttoned and worn as a top. I love it.
