Scenes from the Weekend

I had a lovely Saturday in Williamsburg with the BF. Perfect weather, great browsing/shopping and a little quiet time on the waterfront. What could be better? Here's a few pics I snapped on the ole' iPhone.

An old crane on the Williamsburg waterfront with some seriously amazing clouds overhead.

I made G take a pic of me in front of this white brick wall. I kind of love how it turned out actually.

A tower by the waterfront. Back in the day,
I believe it was a signal tower for ferries crossing the East River to Brooklyn.

Glassware at one of my favorite stores, Moon River Chattel.

Saw this guy across the street at the Moon River Chattel Annex.

I liked these geodesic planters I saw at Sprout Home.

Great building covered in super bright murals.

And I scored this vintage navy down vest from 10 Foot Single.

Friday Flowers

Two quick arrangements I made from flowers from the market.

I'll Take What He's Packing

Pumpkins!

I really adore this time of year, when there's a bit of crispness in the air and you can wear a sweater and a light jacket...it just feels fresh and familial to me. And I love fall decor, be it Halloween or Thanksgiving, especially pumpkins. And no one does pumpkins better than Martha. Some of my favorites from years past.

And here is the work of George and I.

Color Contest 2009

The Room for Color Contest is underway over at Apartment Therapy. Below is my favorite entry, "Jessica's Mostly Neutrals", a charming and warm space that's eclectic and full of so much charm. I love the contrast between the smoky grey wall color and all the warm wood tones... not to mention that Chesterfield sofa and the fantastic array of artwork. Hope you win Jessica!

Touch of Fall

I discovered this lovely table setting over at High Street Market, the blog of Interior Designer Kelly Robson. (She also has a great Etsy shop) It doesn't scream fall, but it evokes that subtle feeling in the decorative elements, the colors and the fabric. Very elegant, but not stuffy. Well done.

And here's another subtle fall display by Eddie Ross. I'm mad for these white pumpkins.

Fall Style

So the weather is getting a little bit crisp, and it's a sure sign that fall is vastly approaching. Makes me think about light jackets, layers and dressing it up. Here are a few looks I compiled.
