"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. 

Live the life you have imagined."

Henry David Thoreau

This quote is posted on my full length mirror in my bedroom

as a simple reminder every day.

bentwood....

the Thonet Bentwood chair

is an iconoclastic cafe chair

made from 6 pieces of heat steamed 

wood curved into a light weight,

comfortable, beautiful chair.

they are true classics that have 

a lot of history but still feel very modern

today.

books....

there is something to this time of year that makes you want to

curl up in a comfortable chair,

in your favorite sweats, 

with a roaring fire going in the fireplace

with a great book

to take you away to a far away place.

fall....

it's always a bit of a transition

when fall arrives

but once i get in the groove of it

and get over the fact that i am going to see

the sun only a handful of hours a day

i embrace the chill, shades of oranges,

dark woods, warm sweaters,

and rain boots.
