CRAP ON MY MIND

1. Holy shit, I'm bored of blogging. If pinterest had a fucking "blog" button on each pin I pinned, perhaps this place wouldn't look all ghost town-y and shit. 

2. The Nate Berkus show got cancelled. They're saying stuff like "it's run ended" and that Harpo is "choosing not to renew" but let's get real ppl: it sucked. The fact that that thing lasted two years is more surprising to me than the Michael Jackson/Lisa Marie Presley marriage was. Also: #NATEGATE, never forget.

Kids Rooms

So, as we all know around here: I'm not so much a kid person. 

I mean, I'm sure your kids are ridiculously cute and adorable and blah, blah, blah, blah, but also I like to sleep in until 10am on the weekends and spend ridiculous amounts of money on stupid shit like wrapping paper and caviar for my eggs in the morning. So no kids for me. 

BUT!

Thanks to, yet again, the magic of Pinterest, I keep coming across some pretty killer kiddie boudoirs.

What to Wear Where?

That headline was so good, I actually just stole it word for word from Honestly WTF.

But I was actually thinking about this a lot recently, as we just had our amazing trip to Sedona, AZ last week. And before we left, I found myself shopping for some travel wear and picking out shit that I might not normally wear at home in NYC. I mean, I came home with a bag full of shearling vests, and earth-tone colored sweaters, and navajo prints, and this stupid headband head warmer thing. And when I walked in and showed my husband all this crap he was like: "uhm, are we going to stay at a dude ranch?"

Outdoor In, Indoor Out

Maybe because I live in NYC, or maybe because I've just always been a "grass is always greener" type gal, but whatever the reason: I'm just always drawn to spaces that successfully integrate the outside with the inside.

I want that one day...and I want it BAD.

Having this indoor/outdoor thing in NYC is pretty much a pipe dream, wrapped inside a unicorn, perched on top of a Leprachaun's head...unless of course you're the Novogratzes, who pretty much have the coolest ass house in all of Manhattan.

[WHO GIVES A SHIT]: Do You Know How To Cook?

My oven has been on twice in the three years we've lived in our apt...and one out of the two times was because our dog sitter turned it on while we were away.

But I'm totally fascinated by how many design bloggers out there seem to be cooking their faces off...and posting beautiful pictures of food...and trying out new recipes. Why is this?

Now don't get me wrong, if I BUY some kickass food somewhere else, I can turn that shit out with a gorgeous table, flowers, the whole shebang. I just can't make any of that crap on my own.
