it’s the big 5-0 for my dad this year, so hopefully they’re doing something to celebrate in a big way! actually, my parents’ wedding anniversary is coming up in less than a month and my grandparents and todd and i planned a two-week trip to europe for them! so exciting, and i wish i was going!!! they’re going to paris, florence, and asolo, which is a suburb of venice, so i’m sure they’ll have a great time! perhaps just another year until i can jump back over the pond… anyway, happy birthday dad!

Over the weekend I was daydreaming about moving to New York so spent a while looking at apartment pictures on craigslist (this is an old pastime of mine). Of all the places I looked at, this loft was my favorite:

Also thought this hotel room was stunning!!!

Books by color

Here’s another example of arranging your books by color, and really, it’s quite growing on me! Unfortunately, the extra shelf from my aunt fell through, so I think I’m in the market for a new bookcase. Perhaps I’ll look for possible replacements soon, though I really am trying to hold out for a while longer! Pace yourself, Jess…

Mirrored furniture: did I miss this trend entirely?

I like the idea of mirrored furniture: it’s classic, elegant, not a crazy color, but different than regular old wood. I’ve not seen this out in stores much, but apparently we’re at the tail end of this trend. Don’t know why it’s going away, I rather like it!
