come into my bedroom.

hi folks.  happy sunday.  we are having mom & vince over for dinner tonight - i'm making my famous fish tacos!  it's one of my favorite pescetarian dishes :)  i'd share my recipe with you, but i've never been big on food posts.  for one, i don't cook much or very well.  and secondly there is absolutely NO measuring in my cooking.  i'm serious.  i fill things up until they look full and i pepper them until i tastes the way i want to.  no rhyme or reason here and it's impossible to share.

but i'll tell you what i will share with you - my bedroom.  that's right.  come on in.

excuse him.  he thinks this is his bed.

this is our giant bed.  we decided to buy the biggest bed we could possibly find because we could fit it.  our room is huge, and thanks to our five closets in our room we really don't need to put in any drawers or chests.  the bed is the only real piece of furniture in the room besides my vanity, so we could let it stand out.  but i haven't quite figured out how to hang linens around the bed.  i did, however, come across some awesome ideas...

my personal favorite - i love the thick white linens that drape on the ground.  and the fact that this isn't even a canopy bed - just bars mounted to the ceiling.  so creative!  from coco+kelley.

  these paper-light linens act like window curtains - you can open and close.  lovely.  from apartment therapy (one of my old favorite sites when i was in a one bedroom pre-war walkup in brooklyn!).

 ok maybe this is my favorite now.  i can't decide.  this has a moroccan style, which everyone knows i have a major weakness for.  the fringe on the curtains are so unique - as is the black wicker chair next to the bed.  love the contrast.  from daisy pink cupcake.

the mirror, the wall paper, the white linen draped just above the pillows... so sublime.  very alaina :)  from whitehaven.

sigh.  a girl can dream, can't she?  someday i'll get around to buying fabric for my bed.  and hanging up pictures in my room.  but until that day comes... i have these awesome blogs to look at :) 

ok - enjoy your weekend friends! 

xoxo

fill-in-the-blank friday!

so everyone in the blogosphere (ugh i hate myself for saying that word) does this thing called 'fill in the blank fridays.'  and for those of you who read this, you know i regularly run out of things to blog about.  so i thought i'd join in.  now, i don't know if i can do this every friday - but maybe!  so here we go with my first FILL IN THE BLANK FRIDAY! why not? :)  thanks to my bloggie gf jess for the idea (from me stalking her blog).

1.   in the story of my life the actor who would play me would be... mandy moore.  not much looking alike there but i love her love her love her.  she looks more like my sister anne.  or zooey deschanel, i think we have alike personalities.  she could capture my quirkiness.

anne --------->

2.  if i could change one thing about the world it would be... oh wow.  only one thing?  i wish people cared more about their fellow human beings.  i once saw a bumper sticker that said get involved - the world is run by those who show up.  so i guess i wish more people showed up.

3.  yesterday... all my troubles seemed so far away.  sorry couldn't resist the beatles there :)  i believe in yesterday...

4.  my favorite comfort food is... my nanny's spaghetti.  hands down best food IN THE WORLD.  but seeing as she lives in ny i don't get it too often... so i guess i'll just go with macaroni & cheese.  not the boxed kind, the kind that i make myself from scratch.  delicious.  

5.  my new favorite blog find is...  ju ju hats!  i want one - i could put it above my fireplace and ditch the mirror!  and also these hmong bags. 

6.  if I could meet any blog friend (who i haven't met yet) in real life, i'd choose to meet... i can't say he's a blog friend, but... can i go with alec baldwin over at huffpost?

7.  my favorite breakfast food is... toasted bagel with cream cheese and tomatoes, paired with coffee of course.  hands down.

the list.

yes, the list.  everyone has one.  and it is a constant source of stress in my marriage.  ok not really, but there is kind of an ongoing joke philip has that i just add whoever i feel like to my list and there is no end to it.  well today i will change that and post my list here in a very public way so i can't change it any more.

ok people... don't judge.  but do feel free to create your own list!

now these are in no particular order - but here they are.


10.  philip seymour hoffman

i know.  unconventional.  but he's amazing.  it all happened when i became obsessed with truman capote, and then his bio was turned into a movie, and capote was played by my boy here.  of course i know capote was gay.  but do i care?  no.  i still love love love mr. hoffman.
