Spent a great afternoon seeing one of my good friends from college. She picked out a great tropical spot in the middle of NYC, Taco Dumbo. We were looking for a quick lunch and some good WiFi. She had a beer and I had a glass of cold rosé along with the tacos. We talked about life: the good, the bad, and the ugly. After we finished lounging, we set out on a mission to find a cafe for some coffee. We ended up at Maman. I really wanted to go to Urban Backyard but there’s never anywhere to sit,…

I’ve had an obsession for Scandinavian decor, especially when it comes to kids’ rooms. I love the wood accents, reusing old pieces and even the raindrop decals. And there’s definitely something alluring about the simplicity and contrast between colors. 1. Wall Color I tried replicating the Scandinavian style for Magdalene. As you can see from the picture above, I chose a grey for the wall color. The paint is called Meteor Shower by Behr. I wanted to choose a grey with a hint of blue but decided it may not work when taking pictures. 2. Pops of Color and Texture…
