Mornin', friends. It's me, your buddy still muddling
through an entire house reno and trying to survive the chaos.
Mind terribly if today I whisk you away to New York
to explore why so many folks, bearded hipster or not
are ditching Manhattan to hang in Brooklyn?
Is it the low-rise small town feel of the borough?
Is it that celebrities like Anne Hathaway, Sarah Jessica Parker,
Michelle Williams, and Maggie Gyllenhaal call the place home?
via
Is it simply that the former working class borough has
established itself as bon vivant heaven with cutting edge
bars and delicious eateries?
The case could be made Brooklyn is in full blossom thanks
to its artisans and makers...injecting heart and soul
into their crafts at a time so many of us crave and honor
organic creativity that harks back to a simpler time.

I learned all about Brooklyn's fine makers
in this incredible directory called:
Made in Brooklyn: An Essential Guide to the Borough's Artisanal Food & Drink Makers
(powerHouse Books, 2015)by authors:
Melissa Schreiber Vaughn, Susanne Konig, and Heather Weston
Let's do the math.
Around 200 pages of 110 selectively curated
food and drink makers in Brooklyn with
1100 original (and gorgeous) photographs.
Fine.
I'll do the math.
It adds up to a betchen bevy of delicious sources.
Don't take my word for it,
check out these reviews:
I know you've nibbled the Big Apple...bitten into Brooklyn lately?
Peace to you right where you are.
Here are my picks for beautiful books to inspire.
In 1975, if you were a rockstar with insomnia,
you might rise in the middle of the night,
style yourself pretty,
grab your Polaroid (with cord for self-portraits)
and practice photography.
But you probably didn't unless you were Stevie Nicks.

She never meant for the photos to be seen,
but they became an exhibit called 24 Karat Gold,
(curated by guitarist Dave Stewart)
with a new album from Nicks of songs
she wrote between 1969 and 1987.

It's not fair to call these 'early selfies' because
they are incredible art pieces created
with a simple camera and a masterful eye.
Hope you enjoyed the trip back in time!
Peace to you right where you are.

50 Simple Lovely Rooms Inspiring Me This Very Moment {Decor Inspiration}
October 13, 2015
Meryl Streep's kitchen in IT'S COMPLICATED
It's noooooo secret I am gaga for neutrals
and all the tones of the white rainbow
when it comes to interior design.
Here are 50 moments inspiring me today.
BTW, I am sick in bed and wondering how we will ever manage
to get everything done over at the fixer upper...pray for a sista.

Director and designer Nancy Meyers says it was Pinterest
that streamlined the set design for her film The Intern.
Remember how she hit it out of the park with
IT'S COMPLICATED?
Meyers wanted the home of Anne Hathaway's character
to be youthful yet sophisticated, and didn't she nail it?
The charming Brooklyn Brownstone was decorated with
mid-century pieces, neutrals, brass, and pops of color.
Brooklyn has grown into quite the borough of
high hangability with its craft food and drinks
movement, and on my radar is this forthcoming
title (October 20) featuring makers in Brooklyn:
Made in Brooklyn (Powerhouse Books, 2015)
For me, Brooklyn still brings to mind J. Crew's
Jenna Lyon's betchen brownstone which provided
inspiration for Hathaway's apartment in the movie.
'Member Jenna's dreamy home?
Is it just me? I think Hollywood still underestimates
the power of sets with thoughtful, inspiring interiors
to lure design freaky kids like us into the cinema.
Peace to you right where you are.
