9 by Design

I am absolutely smitten with the new show 9 by Design. Tonight was the second episode where the family of 9 is trying to get into their new Manhattan home. This couple is an absolute, creative masterpiece! They started their business, Sixx Design, when they were first married. They bought a old, run down building (all they could afford) and gutted it and built it up...literally. There is no space in NYC to build out so they just build these homes up...3, 4 and 5 stories high! Amazing! They have grown their business and everybody seems to want a piece of their modern, vintage, eclectic design. They now have 7 very energetic children and it is very amusing watching them live their life and run their business. One thing I need to mention is that they are crafty with their decor. They don't go crazy and spend insane amounts of money on everything! They go to thrift stores and flea markets. They use street signs for decor, lights/chandeliers from closed factories and concrete for counter tops! Their ideas and visions are absolutely fascinating! This basketball court was on top of a house they just moved out of! They caged it in so no ball was lost obviously! Who says the city isn't for children?! The Novogratz Family: Robert (Dad), Cortney (Mom), Wolfie (11), Bellamy (10), Tellulah (10), Breaker (8), Five (3), Holleder (3), Major (3 months).

Crazy April

April. April is bitter sweet for me. Sorry for being away so long. I tend to escape from things in the beautiful weather this time of year. Here is some eye candy to look at :)
With my birthday nearly a month away this the the only thing I want...

Crystal Clear

I'm really loving all the lucite furniture I've been seeing in different rooms. It reminds me so much of the glass shoe that fit Cinderella's foot just right. Just like Cinderella, these amazing accents of crystal clear furniture definitely complete the room's "outfit". Girly, trendy and modern but still very elegant...only perfect for a princess :)

Sweet Dreaming

Hello! It has been way too long! Just got home from a wonderful weekend away to see my family! I love seeing them and wish we lived closer. After a 6 hour drive home and some dinner with the hubby, I'm ready to jump into bed for a little sleep before the week begins in the morning. I'll be back tomorrow :) I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! He has Risen!
