    The Celtics

    ok, i know i will get slack for this because i am a born and raised new yorker and while i will always love the new york knickerbockers i really have something for the boston celtics. maybe it’s moxie, maybe it’s kg, maybe it’s a bunch of dudes who are ‘past their prime’ yet still kick ass… i’m not sure, but check out this promo and you’ll probably be drooling too

    Black Faucet

    i ran into a bit of a snag as i chose pieces for my guest bathroom. i fell hard for this medicine cabinet

    and purchased it before thinking out what the rest of the accessories in the bathroom would be. polished chrome is not good friends with antique brass and apparently antique brass is not in vogue. it has been quite challenging to find any that doesn’t remind me of visiting my aunt lee in Smithtown, Long Island circa 1983.

    at a recent birthday party one of my mom friends suggested i think about a color for my faucet…BLACK!

    genius.

    what do you think?

    Celine Mini Luggage Tote

    every now and then a fancy bag catches my eye and i belly flop into a little place called Covet Hell.

    …in this sick cobalt blue

    …in a sexy beige neutral

    …cutie leighton meister with an awesome two toned number

    i’ll take any of them.

    Dark Grout

    eventually, we will redo our bathrooms. i have been hunting for a contractor. there have been three: one crazy expensive, one came and said your bid will be ready next week and six weeks later still no bid and the last seems like a fit, but methinks he found another job. that leaves me still hunting. it will happen. i think i can, i think i can beats lightly in my head but what beats louder are the visions of my lovely redone bathrooms pulling our apartment from our lovely home to yeah baby, that’s what i’m talking about. i want dark grout in our subway tiles, though i’ve mostly only seen it in pictures of living spaces (kitchens, dining rooms) like these:

    the other evening, i did notice that the bathrooms at The Dutch have dark grout in their tile and that’s a space that i loved design wise.

    anyone have any print examples of dark grout in a bathroom? send them my way.

    Movies Rock

    i would have to say that going to the movies is my favorite activity.  i have a lot to say on the topic and would like to start my movie conversation with my most recent viewing.  Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.  i’m not going to say too much other than i was deeply moved and well entertained and i think you should shell out the $12 to make a date of it.

    i can’t begin to say how much i love this laundry basket.  style and function meet for brunch with this baby.  i’m thinking you could line a few of these up as storage as well. i can already see the pandas and babydolls pouring over the edges.
    you can buy one for yourself here.
