Red Lodge Cliff Dodge


Well, we are headed to Red Lodge again.
Maybe we'll buy this darling gem on the market.

This little cottage is the perfect little getaway.
Overlooking the Beartooth Mountains.



Scenic views of the valley below.


Cozy stone fireplace.


Rustic dining room for four.


Cuddly curtain pelts.


The non-living room.


The kiddy loft.


Can you smell the smores?


What??? (sound of screeching tires)


Not a place for kids. Or drinkers. Counts us out.

Mo's Workshop

Mo sent us some pictures of his progress on our custom furniture!

The beginnings of my bench...


My client's coffee table...


This looks tedious.



VERY exciting! What should we order next?
Bar stools.

Floral Overlay on Photos

One of my favorite paintings at the Louvre is Le Printemps by Giuseppe Arcimboldo (pictured below). Seeing it reminded me of these beautiful mystery photos in my inspiration files. I've been holding off on posting them since I don't like to publish something without a source, but I just can't resist anymore. If anyone knows who these are from (I know I found them on Flickr) please comment below.

Vintage St. Tropez

After reading Garance Dore's rave reviews of vintage clothing shop Le Marche Du Marin, I made sure to check out the store while in St. Tropez. My already high expectations were more than exceeded: Amazing selection of nautical staples (think endless rows of St. John sailor striped shirts, white linen and sea-inspired scarves), affordable prices, and a super friendly staff. And how can I forget -- lovely shop design. Quite possibly the new inspiration for the seaside home of my dreams.

I could have spent hours in the shop, but was in a rush to go visit Cannes and only had one hour. I ended up scoring a St. John striped sweater, a fabulously worn-in briefcase style handbag and a tribly hat, which I loved, but may very well never have the guts to wear at home.

For those of you who won't be jetting off to St. Tropez anytime soon, I have some great news for you. The owners are planning to open a New York store this winter.

A few shots of St. Tropez and the store:

The gorgeous design inside the store:

Annnd of course, an embarrassing photo of me and my hat.

P.S. I've missed you all and have loved reading everyone's comments. Can't wait to get back and catch up on everything. My reader is +1000 now -- Eeek!
