You Can Never Have Too Many Boxwoods

Alexa Hampton redecorated a spec house in the Hamptons for an urban couple. They were looking for a place that would look and feel like a summer house but could be used all year round. The mandate was almost no color, easy and comfortable, yet not without flair Alexa Hampton says of the weekend retreat she designed in Bridgehampton, New York. Michael Donnellan, of Summerhill Landscapes, planted boxwood at the entrance.

Hedgehog Tunnel Vision

Humane Taxidermy | Cable Knit Deer Head

The person who made this fabulous knitted deer head should immediately make a small red pom pom and pin it on his nose. Then he would be Rudolph. It would be great with a big wreath around its neck too. The source was etsy.com but when I clicked on the link it said the page no longer existed.

Audrey Hepburn Classic Photos + A Quote


Audrey Hepburn
"Pick the day. Enjoy it to the hilt. The day as it comes and people as they come. The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future."

Great advice from our favorite icon. Enjoy this day per her advice.

Goodnight, Sleep Tight

I am hitting the hay early to watch some quality TV [hopefully]. My DVR is getting rather full of programs I haven't had time to watch. See you tomorrow.
