kitchen white.

oh my. how perfectly wonderful. this delightful kitchen. white with an amazing collection of copper pots hanging at the ready. i think what i love the most about this kitchen is the mirror above the stove. it adds an old world charm that is completely enchanting.

kitchen white.

"a kitchen should be one color and one color only: white!"

said the great Van Day Truex, the father of twentieth century american design. i read this line in the book by Adam Lewis - Van Day Truex, the man who defined twentieth century style and taste and i've always remembered it. now, seriously,  i believe you can have your kitchen any color you please - but there is something to be said about a well appointed white kitchen. not all white, but definitely pops of white. in this spirit, i started pinning white kitchens to my aptly named pinterest board, kitchen white. i've decided to share my favorites here. every day, once a week - we shall see! oh and ps - my kitchen isn't white - it has navy blue tiled counter tops! what?!! i know - the bane of my existence is tiled counter tops - let alone navy. the cabinets are white - but did i mention they are trimmed in wood. so 80's and so awful. but hey, we are in a rental so a girl has got to dream. and dream i do. a lot.

kitchen white. another fav.

so much more to me.

what if there's so much more to me?
i've got a pocketful of poetry
i've got a head full of songs, a heart with wings
you couldn't tie me down to anything and that's enough for me
{mindy gledhill}

photographing strong, confident women of all ages is what will always speak to me.

it never has to be about the hair, the makeup, or even the clothes - 

but it always has to be about the spirit within. that's all that matters. 

you.

avalon, new jersey - 1970 something - fabulous

Sparkle in the Barn - the creatives.

i had the pleasure of shooting the most fabulous pop up shop in a gorgeous barn in newbury, massachusetts. styled + curated by rory e weinberg, proprietor of  poppies floral design of west newbury + sarah arluck sumner - interior designer, sarah sumner design - at the beautiful property of tamsin trails. invited guests were able to shop thoughtful vintage pieces and charmingly beautiful arrangements. every nook and cranny of tamsin's barn was filled with delightful pieces. what could be better than plaid and sequins, wine and cheese, friends and laughter and the holiday spirit in our beautiful seacoast town. sparkle in the barn - the beginning of something special.

merry christmas and may you sparkle brightly. xo
