The cast of Sex and the City visits Oprah


The cast of Sex and the City stopped by the Oprah show to promote the upcoming movie last Thursday. In case you missed it, like I did, you can catch the first part here. There are six parts, all of which you can find on YouTube.
UPDATE: Apparently, the videos have been removed from YouTube. Sorry!

Happy Weekend!


I think I'll make some pillows and catch up on my reading this weekend...School starts on Monday so this will be my last free weekend for a long time.

Jamie Drake ~ East Hampton Country Home


I can never seem to stray too far from posting
about Jamie Drake's work. I thought I would
leave an East Hampton country home that he
designed for all of you to end the week with and
enjoy over the weekend. I wish I had a country
home to go to on the weekends ^_^

I really liked th colour palette of the breakfast
nook above. It looks striking with the wall color,
chairs, and the artwork. At the same time it
feels cozy.


Drake's signature work with colors definitely
come out here in this very grand living room.
Look at the height of those windows and draperies!




A pop of yellow with an armchair leads into
a very sunny dining room.



Here's that very sunny dining room.



I would love to snuggle up with a book
in front of the fireplace in this room!



A look at some of the bedrooms in this estate.






Love the colors he chose for this little nook.



Outdoor lounging space.



And a gorgeous view of a quintissential
East Hampton country home.

Have a great weekend everyone!

The Haymarket Hotel in London



The Haymarket Hotel is located in the theatre district of London.
The hotel is owned by a husband and wife developing team much
like Kelly Wearstler and her husband. They have design hotels
in their portfolio from London to New York and Miami as well.





I really like the Haymarket hotel for it's cozy
bedrooms and the very fresh color combinations.



I love green and bright plum together.
Look at the stripes on the arm chair!



A striking black and white room.


And a very homey yellow flowered room.



Here's a room with more of a modern twist
and bold colors. I absolutely love oversized
art on walls. It really makes a statement.



The teal, greens and wood in this
sitting area are very soothing.






A very popping dining area. Love the brilliant colors.

Not a bad choice for a stay in London with each room
having different colors and designs to suit your fancy.
