Last Auntie Mame Decor/Interiors…
More Auntie Mame Mid-Century Madness…and then the final decor transition…India. Auntie Mame, I miss you already. That second slide should read “NOW married” not “NOT married”. Leave it to a literary agent to run willy nilly with the typos. Hey, I’m NOT an editor! I finished my bench. It’s all wrapped up in cardboard and ready to hit [...]

30. March 2008
Half way through day 2. Things are MUCH better in the daylight. Last night was, stressful. My bench is all cut up, I’ve been using a big ole router to make rounded edges and I’ve fallen hard for the orbital sander. I feel we have a connection that my old square one just doesn’t meet up [...]

29. March 2008
I just finished day one at Yestermorrow. I thought I’d do a really brief overview and then a bigger more all-encompassing post late next week. If you have a migraine, noisy tools will make for a rough day. I took some tylenol around 8am and that helped for a few hours. Around 3pm I started to [...]

29. March 2008
I have a roommate in my dorm room here at Yestermorrow but haven’t met her yet. She got the single bed so I ended up with the bottom bunk. Oh well, she got here first so she gets dibs. There is soooooo much snow that it comes up to more than half way up the [...]

27. March 2008
Today is my Blogger-Versary. Where are my damn flowers?!?! I leave for Tool Camp tomorrow morning. I should pack some snacks and clean undies. Am not bringing my laptop with me but will bring my camera and phone. Maybe I’ll finally figure out that whole “mobile blog” thing. Or not. I’ll have my blackberry with me too [...]

27. March 2008
Well that title should scare the carp out of my Mom and sisters (if they still read this…who knows). Mom calls this thing my “bog”. Somewhere along the way she dropped the “L” so it’s all just a big murky English bog. Care for a cup of tea? I fully expect a flurry of emails [...]

26. March 2008
See this woman: That’s exactly what she did. She clipped her nails and then filed them. I thought I was going to hurl. As many of you know, I’m a literary agent. I get to go out to yummy lunches with editors from publishing companies – a lot. Today I was to have lunch with an editor [...]

26. March 2008
I went shopping tonight. You know, Tool Camp this weekend! I can’t go off to camp wearing old crap. Yestermorrow is in Vermont so that means New Sweater!! Oh wait, I’m going to be using tools in a garage-like setting. Schidt, I should wear old crap. Dang. Oops. Oh well. Retail is dying and I had [...]

25. March 2008
March 27th is my one year blogger-versary. Thanks to everyone for lauging with (and at) me all year long while I try to renovate this darn greek revival monster. By the way…the kitchen chairs are in the garage now… To celebrate this not-so-momentous occasion…I have put together a BOX O’ GOODIES. This BOX O’ GOODIES has a [...]

25. March 2008
I subscribed to Domino & Elle Decor via Ebay awhile back. BIG MISTAKE. The seller never put through my subscription (or a few hundred other peeps purchases (click here) and so I am SOL. My Domino subcription ran out in November and so I haven’t bought an issue in MONTHS and it’s been killing me. [...]

24. March 2008
For seven years I have been nagging the Fiance to go to the Jackson Diner for Indian food. For the non-NYC’ers out there…Jackson Diner is considered to be the BEST Indian food in New York City…so ummm you could probably take that a bit farther and say the best Indian food in the US since [...]

23. March 2008
We went into the city and we may or may not have had a big argument and so there was no brunch and certainly no Jacques Torres chocolate goodness. That table I bought last fall and was in the process of fixing? I had painted the base a creamy antique white, Matt-The-Contract had cut the [...]

23. March 2008
In addition to taking pictures of my most favorite door the other day…I took pictures of this adorable chocolate shop in midtown Manhattan. The ENTIRE window was wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling chocolate bunnies. Sure hope they were able to wipe my tongue marks off that window. Well, I’m off to pay for my sins…that’s right, I [...]

22. March 2008
What’s another post among friends? Three tonight. Oh my. Got the nightstands! I have to say – they aren’t in as good a condition as I had hoped but are still structurally very sound. Hey, for $40 I guess I can’t complain too much. The guy I bought them from lived in a hotel so [...]
