First post....

When I think of great design, I imagine it to be somewhat of an escape. An escape from my sometimes cluttered room...my coffee table crowded with magazines or my office filled with stick-it notes and files. I envision a fresh, clean palatte which evokes a feeling of calmness and beauty. My taste and style differs at times, leaning more traditional/victorian than modern... but every so often I suprise myself with a fondness for an overt mix of ages and style. I live in NYC but am a Boston girl at heart and my love for the beach and Cape Cod shape many of design tastes. I yearn for a rustic beach home and know that one day...I will have my home on the beach, my uncluttered room, my clean coffee table and an emaculate office. Until then, I can dream....


LOVE clawfoot bathtubs! I could just melt away in this serene environment! This space was featured in Coastal Living Magazine by James R Solamon - a magazine that I can go through and daydream all day long...


Boston interior desinger, Alina Apteker's, home was photographed by Eric Roth and recently featured in Elle Decor Magazine. Her dining room above gives off such a romantic and whimsical feeling...love it!


This bedroom scene featured in Coastal Living gives me a sense of calmness. I think it's important for your bedroom to be a place of serenity.
