Life Lately
For the past 2 weeks we've been visiting friends and family on the East Coast, some of whom we haven't seen since our move to California a year ago. Each day has been a reunion of sorts. Our children have reconnected with old classmates, cousins, friends and places that have reminded them of their earliest childhood days. It's been wonderful to witness friendships [young and old] pick right up where they left off, as if time and distance never came between them.
We began our adventure in Cambridge, then headed to the Cape to visit with great friends for a few days. On the way to my NJ childhood home, we stopped at a great place in RI for a bite to eat . We crossed my [once] favorite bridge [there's a new fav] to spend time with my 94 year old grandmother and the rest of the family. Our children loved being around their cousins and grandparents. On the way back to MA, we visited good friends in CT that we hadn't seen in quite a while. Today, after hanging out in Cambridge for a couple of days with old neighbors and friends, we're off to Maine (our next destination). Stay tuned for updates and exciting posts on places that I found inspirational during our summer's travels.
Hope you are having a wonderful summer (we sure are)! A big, hearty thank you to all our hosts and hostesses along the way!
Moving Mode: Here And There
It's been nearly 8 months since our move and things are gradually falling into place. Items that once fit so nicely in our Cambridge house have found a perfect placement in our California home. Take a look at how it looked there and how it now looks here:
I think that a favorite part about decorating a space, whether it's for clients or for myself is utilizing what already exists and making it feel new again.
