We’ve done a whole lot of interior design re-do’s for our apartment. We started with our girls’ room, because you know the kids always come first … … and then last year we redesigned our living room, dining area and the home office which we turned into a sitting room / media room. The only room we needed to deal with was our master bedroom which literally was a sore…
As a mom of two active girls and a pet-owner (I don’t lump my kids and my cats together, but in this case….), there is constant cleaning to do so I am a big — and I mean BIG — fan of Dyson’s amazing vacuuming power. NOW, they have a new vacuum with new technology called the Dyson Big Ball Cinetic vacuum. Now this will blow your mind: it doesn’t have any…
So…you’ve seen the before pictures of our girls bedroom. It was a room of mish-mosh furniture, absolutely no storage for all of the girls’ books and toys and no place for two tweens to do their homework. After over six weeks of construction in which we lived in friend’s apartments (thank goodness for friends who go on vacation!) and then living through four weeks of construction while the girls started…

We moved into our apartment over seven years ago when we had one daughter and another one on the way. Seven years later, we have a tween and a 7-year old and have accumulated 11 years worth of stuff. Dance trophies, swim medals, Build-a-Bear bears, toys, dolls, stuffed animals, books, books and more books. And everything — I mean everything in between. And it just kept accumulating. We decided to…
When my girls were born, over 11 and 7 years ago, we didn’t have the design sense, resources, or Pinterest to really design a beautiful baby girl nursery for them. Kind of sad, I know, but, SERIOUSLY, if we had Pinterest back then, I definitely would’ve done it up! Now you, lucky readers, have an amazing Baby Girl Nursery Design Pin Party to join in, pin and get all the baby…
I have been wanting to go plastic-free with our dishes and glasses for a while. I’ve thrown out the girls’ childish plastic plates (the now use our “adult” ceramic plates) and their plastic glasses (replaced with glass tumblers from One Kings Lane). The last thing we wanted to do was to have a plastic free water filter. We’ve used a plastic filter for a very, very long time now and…
In a sun-drenched Penthouse loft space in Midtown Manhattan, groups of bloggers were treated to stylish and innovative ways to maximize small spaces with big ideas, thanks to the practical know-how of office supply mecca, Staples®, and the smart creative style of REAL SIMPLE. White-washed Gary’s Loft was transformed into three sample work stations that showcased various ways to incorporate functionality with a splash of fashion, using products all…
Although we spent New Year’s Eve at a Home Exchange in Utah skiing with my family (a Salt Lake City family exchanged with us), images of New York City (our home town), Times Square, the ball dropping were not far from our minds. Up to this point, we never really think about how Times Square gets cleaned up after a HUGE party like New Year’s Eve in Times Square. All…
It’s so hard to believe that the holiday season is upon us.

It was held at the Roberta Freymann showroom here in TriBeCa. Roberta Freymann’s passion is fashion and travel which shows…
