THANK YOU, MARIANNE!

I want to thank Marianne, author of Style for Living, for this beautiful ceramic egg crate from Anthropologie.  If you haven't visited Marianne's blog, you are really missing something.


These egg crates are as beautiful as they are adorable... I will use it in the refrigerator...


until Easter, and then I will fill it with ceramic eggs.  I am going to glaze some eggs with different color stripes to bring it together.


Thank you so much, Marianne!  I love my crate!

DESIGN IN BROOKLYN

For actress Keri Russell and husband Shane Deary, renovating a Brooklyn 1860s brownstone was a massive undertaking.  Deary is a craftsman and contractor, so the job of gutting the home down to bricks and studs and rebuilding was another day at the office. He moved walls to open up the floor plan and used reclaimed materials he brought in and wood he had saved from the home itself.

Russell decorated with a neutral palette and many different textures.  Dreary made the dining table and the porthole mirror from reclaimed wood.  The beautiful home is exactly what the couple and their son dreamed of.  ENJOY!
