Apr 2nd 2010 Have an “egg”cellent weekend!

Mr. D and I really don’t have much on the agenda this weekend. The weather is supposed to be absolutely fantastic the next few days, so I’m sure he will get out on his bike for a long ride. We also plan on heading to Washington Square Park to eat falafelsometimes it is all I crave! And on Sunday, I’m thinking about making brunch – one of my all time f a v o r i t e “eggy” recipes: Kristen’s Good Breakfast Casserole.

Dec 27th 2009 Fresh holiday color palette {Plum + Tomato}

I am tickled-pink to announce that the 2009 Sucked Ass cards received a shout out from the New York affiliate of NBC the day before Christmas Eve ~ I don’t know how they found me, but that wink, weblink, and nod brought a very Merry Christmas, indeed!
ABCD-DESIGNS-BESPOKE-HOLIDAY-CARDSWe visited my side of the family in Michigan from Tuesday afternoon until Saturday morning. My father caught wind of my Salty set of cards … the man who never, ever, nuuuuuueeeeeeevvvver swears … laughed so hysterically that I thought his rosy red face may never return to a normal shade again. After that, we headed to Carlsbad, California. I am eating fish tacos and fresh avocado every chance I get! We’ll return to the City again Wednesday – just in time to celebrate the new decade!

Dec 11th 2009 Nostalgic Holiday Decor {Wisteria SALE!}

Snowmen Candles - WisteriaWhen I was a girl, my mom had a collection of Christmas candles on the credenza. She never burned them. She thought they were too cute to do that! They were part of our annual Christmas decor. As a matter of fact, when I arrive in Michigan on the 22nd, I expect to see them out on the tabletop as they have been every year of my life.
Choir Angel Candles - WisteriaNeedless to say, I was thrilled to come across this Set of Six Choir Angels at Wisteria. How fun would it be to have my own set, for my own home? I tell you what, it is even more fun …when they’re 50% off…
Wisteria-Holiday-Decor-SaleWe’re not just talking cutie-patooti candles- they’ve got everything from Angel Dishes, to decorative holiday doormats, shiny glass candy cane tree ornaments to embroidered holiday linens – and they’re ALL on special.

Nov 27th 2009 ABCD M O V I N G {Yes, Again!}

Restoration Hardware Metal Letter Ornaments Silver Set of 26Yes, indeed – we’re moving again. Over the last week or so, I have received several “House-Hunting” inquiries from loyal readers of ABCD Design. I thought I should bring all of you up to speed. Ever since Mr. D and I lost out on our dream country house, we’ve been grappling with what to do with ourselves.
Restoration Hardware Photo Snow GlobesWe’ve got to be in or around New York City as soon as possible. His job hunt depends upon it. We both agreed on house #1, but we had differing opinions on house #2 (far away from town, close to the NYC train, but pricey) and #3 (way out in the boondocks with super low taxes -It’s a real “dude” kind of place) – Since we can not agree, we’ve got a Country House stalemate. WAH!
Our Little ApartmentSomething we can both definitely agree upon – Yipee!! We’ve applied to live in this sweetheart-sized studio apartment. It isn’t actually *that little* for NYC standards. It is just tiny compared to the apartment we moved out of in the Spring. This means we’ll keep the storage, but at least some of our belongings will come and live with us. For that, I could not be happier!
Restoration Hardware Cashmere ScarvesWe were supposed to pack up leave for the City this weekend. The lease was written for a December 1st move in date. At 1pm Wednesday the apartment management office closed for Thanksgiving holiday. They are not scheduled reopen again until Monday the 30th. They still have not approved our application.
Restoration Hardware Westport Glass HurricanesI told the agent we’re camping at his place if he is wrong! {winkwink} At this point we’ve delayed our drive until Tuesday morning. We have our movers on notice for the 3rd of December. Fingers crossed, I will be a New Yorker again by the end of next week!
Restoration Hardware Globe LightsThree different New York apartments and a four month Michigan/Knoxville sabbatical in 2009. Who’d have thunk that 2009 would have been like this?
