– My upstairs bathroom is painted entirely in chalkboard paint (my daughter and her friend’s draw and write on it all of the time). I also have a wall in my TV room that is entirely covered in chalkboard paint.
– My toaster says “TOAST” on the front of it (I have had it for over 10 years, and it still makes me smile every morning).
– I worked at the United Nations, in NYC, for three years.
– I cut and color my own hair all of the time; sometimes it is quite disasterous, but I do it anyway 🙂
– Pencils are one of my favorite things (hate pens).
– I own a black jeep (it makes me think of New Zealand, where I grew up – the above composite photograph, called “Sheepsail” is by Ted Scott, it is one of my favorites).
– I am a ridiculous romantic; constantly dreaming, planning new things, head in the clouds…
Here are a few of the blogs that I read, and would nominate:
Beautiful Living Style (observations on life, style and the bits in between)
The Lettered Cottage (interior design – pretty and practical)
Rooms Reborn (interior redesign – more great ideas from Ann Anderson!)
The Happiness Project (no explanation needed – always a good dose of happiness when you need it)
Mind the Beginner (thoughts on life, and being better…)
Pink Miles (pink observations on running a family and a marathon)
New Light Redesign (interior redesign, decoratively speaking)
Jane Pollak (entrepreneurial inspiration, and a mental kick in the bum when you need it)
