In Lonny‘s first anniversary issue…umm I really can’t address anything but Celerie Kemble‘s jaw-dropping, to-die-for home/boudoir/view of Manhattan.





ahhhhh…sigh.

After all my wishing for Fall, I got hit in the face with it this weekend. No heat. I waited until it was 59 in the house to turn it on and when I did, nothing happened. Frown. I guess I’m not ready for Winter yet. And yet it comes…

So..this is pretty much my dream dressing room. Mine is coming together…a bit. Yesterday I got a wrought iron daybed (complete with trundle!). We have guests coming in town this weekend and I think a daybed befits a dressing room. I haven’t gotten it set up but I have high hopes. I need to hang pictures and a chandelier would really take everything to the next level.
So this is very raw but I’m going to incorporate the vanity, the shoe display and the day bed (below). I’d love to have a wall of mirrors, lots of art and I’m still considering the screen. Also needed: gigantic oriental rug.

I’m in the market for a return address stamp (which I’ve always wanted). There are plenty of cute options on Etsy but I’m having so much trouble deciding! Any thoughts? All the examples are linked to sources.

The second night in a row without air conditioning and I feel like a crazy person. I am officially ready for cooler weather!

Hi! First night in new place! So exciting! I felt like I was playing house because it felt so surreal to have a place all my own.

I live dangerously close to an Italian restaurant (2 doors down). I’m afraid I will be running over there constantly!

Everything is still in disarray but arranging and decorating is the fun part, right?

I’m very much looking forward to having friends over, hosting dinner parties and utilizing my bar cart!

I can’t wait to share photos with you…


…hoping to put my best face forward for a productive and wonderful week filled with racks of dresses in my dressing room…

a light, neutral palette …

some antiquing…

shelves full of books…

the perfect drapes…

creative shoe displays…

…and enjoying the late sunsets while we still can.
