My new Free People rings - die love! @ Free People, Dedham, Legacy Place

Loon Mountain January 2013

Just saw Purity Ring at the House of Blues in Boston, MA this past week.  Absolutely amazing!  Their cover band Young Magic wasn't that great, they would be good for soundtrack music primarily.  Highly suggest you try and see them live as soon as possible!

Contemporary Vs Traditional

I'm always looking at residential design since I work in the real estate industry and I just love looking at dream homes. My boyfriend loves contemporary/modern design which makes sense since he is an architect!  But I like more traditional/organic/ rustic design.  So how do you create a happy balance between entirely opposite aesthics? Well I think I have found a great fusion between the two! Below are contemporary homes with warmth infused into the design through the use of wood and even concrete materials.  Although darkness seems to evoke a more cold exterior in these instances the darker tones produce a homey feeling.  The wood textures present the rustic/outdoor environment, while the sleek/neutral tones bring forth a contemporary vibe.

  

  

 Follow me as I complete the design of my new living room space.  First step was a coat of fresh paint.
