in the home we're buying to gain a
clearer sense of a design/style direction.
Feeling all kinds of nerves about
so many decisions to make
and stretching the tight budget
I have granted myself.
For example, the house has an open stringer staircase
you typically see in modern design
paired with cheap looking traditional balusters.
I'm trying to think of it as 'beachy.'
I could easily blow the whole budget
just re-doing those stairs!
*insert G.W. Bush accent* NAH GUN DO IT.
LAY ON THE DESIGN ADVICE, S'IL VOUS PLAIT.

Back to pleasantville!
While busy/insane with the move, Gwyneth Paltrow
came to town for a Goop pop-up shop thing at
my favorite Chicago hotel, the Waldorf Astoria.
and the mix was thrillingly interesting
with its minimalistic sophistication
and unexpected artworks.
A simple monochromatic shelf installation
like the above could be applied in all sorts of spaces.
There is something so fresh about combining urban
rustic elements with organic ones to achieve a
very modern airy feel, and even though this is a
styled space for GOOP, I am seeing this
Scandi-flavored mix reflected all over
the place in current kitchen design.
Good gracious, I love the tone of this table!
Gwynie and Goop have flown the coop, but
if you find yourself in the Windy City,
headed soon to visit the Elysian Spa!
Peace to you right where you are.
