Andrew Wyeth's World

My grandma has a print of Andrew Wyeth's Christina’s World, which used to hang in the front bedroom of her house in Vienna, VA. The room was painted a cool blue; it was minimally furnished with a dark wooden desk, a thin white blanket over the double bed, and a nightstand with a small reading light. In the late afternoon, you could hear the grandfather clock ticking from out in the living room, the house could be so still.

Below are some other paintings by Wyeth that capture those same feelings of isolation and solitude, as depicted in Christina's World. Imagine my surprise when I saw how similar they are to how I remember my grandma's house!

Ked's have released a century collection of shoes starting with 1910 and running (ha) through 2010.

The website is pretty fun to navigate, too.

Specialty Bar: Modern and Rustic

This bar is the coolest! I love everything about it: the natural birch panels, the accent lanterns, the contrasting clean and rough wood, and the overhead spotlights to highlight it all. Even the color scheme of the bottles seems thought out. This bar would do well in a wintery, upscale-yet-rugged themed event. Very modern and tre chic!

Scents and Styles of the 1920s

Gangs, blood and violence aren't really my thing, so it's semi-amazing to me how completely absorbed I have become in HBO's new series Boardwalk Empire. As long as there is a steady stream of historically accurate costumes, hairstyles, backdrops and vernacular, and somewhere for me to hide when it gets too suspenseful, I will probably keep on watching.

Here's a fun, little article about perfumes and fragrances during the 1920s that reminded me of the show.
