I’m so excited to finally reveal a project I’ve worked on a couple of months ago!
We finished decorating Don’s office nook in our bedroom.
When we bought the Blue Cottage, I envisioned putting a comfortable chaise in that corner and a TV to have a spot to relax and lounge with a good book.
We had both of our office stuff in the downstairs office, but there were literally too many boxes in there to move. So we decided that the bedroom nook will be Don’s “office.” [Read more…]
Today was a beautiful Sunday in the Hudson Valley! And I had a great time checking out Hastings-on-Hudson and the Hastings Flea.
A few months ago, Ilana contacted me and told me about the Hastings Flea — a fun fleamarket she organizes in one of the Hudson River towns, Hastings-on-Hudson.
Today was the perfect day to check it out. I had never been to Hastings-on-Hudson before, and it’s only 40 minutes away from Katonah.
Hastings Flea happens every second Sunday from April-November, 10-4pm.
It showcases the Hudson Valley’s incredible talent and taste — the best artists, vintage furniture and clothing collectors, handmade jewelry, and craft makers.

Once I got it home, I wasn’t sure I liked how high the table is. I’m still not sure. [Read more…]
A couple of weeks ago, someone was really mad at me.
He was mad at me for something I had no control over. It wasn’t my fault, but he wanted to blame me.
He was unreasonable. He made threats even though I tried to explain that there was nothing I could do.
I tried to not take it personally.
Another nasty email — and I wanted to lay into him and say: “Listen, I don’t have anything to do with this and can’t fix this for you! You are being unreasonable! It’s unfair to blame me!” [Read more…]
I’m sharing a thrifty treasure I bought a while ago, and a new one from today.
