This is an amazing project by Color Me Katie.

Here’s the process as she tells it on her blog…

Do you ever wonder if your shadow is playing tricks on you behind your back?

I mean, it could be, right? It’s always walking behind you so you never know what’s going on back there!

The past couple of weeks I’ve been tracing Matty and I onto large rolls of black paper. I then cut them out into fun shadow people, and taped them onto the walls and sidewalks all around Brooklyn. I then waited for people to walk by and took a picture at the exact moment they matched up with their silly shadow.

This makes me want to go to Brooklyn and look for shadows!

This amazing Hangerpak was created by Steve Haslip. Here’s what he has to say:

The concept was fairly simple: I buy t-shirts online and they always come wrinkled and I always run out of coat-hangers. So I designed a sustainable, reusable way to send and keep your t-shirts. As you open the package you create a coat hanger. The packaging could be made from recycled material whether it is card or plastic and the only waste is the green tear-away tab.

Awesome!

After three years, I’m finally getting around to really decorating the front room of our house. Two weekends ago we got a great deal on some woven, natural fiber rugs from Pottery Barn, so I’m in decorating mode.

The front “room” is really two rooms. And I’m designating one as an informal “formal” dining room. I’ve had tables on my mind, but I don’t know exactly what I want. We have a beachy/chic country cottage theme going on throughout the house, but I’m not sure I want a white table. Here’s a roundup of a few I’m contemplating.

I know, this is white and maybe a little too formal, but I think it’s so sweet.

Pottery Barn, Harvest Dining Table, $699.00-$999.00

This table has a lot of character. It’s so interesting and could be a great conversation piece. It’s really a piece of artwork. It also has the not white, last forever thing going for it.

Autoban, Starfish (can be bought at DIGS), $4,745.00

These two are super adorable. I love the drawer on the red table. The green one is such a great color and smaller.

Cottage Home, Plank Top Farmhouse Tables, $985.00 and $745.00

Decisions, decisions!

I’m having a mild freak out. With roughly two weeks to go until I’m done with my masters, I’m realizing I need more time!

I figured I might as well embrace the ticking in my head over at T (the New York Times magazine). They have a “clock watching” feature up. Here’s a taste of what they’re watching.

I’m loving the orange one. The jumbled numbers really represent my feelings about time right now.

I had the pleasure of knowing Kat and Martin from their courtship, engagement and wedding. Because of these two people, I experienced the magic of living in Connecticut.

I think it is perfect that their engagement and wedding photos reflect their love for each other, but also the beauty of where they live.

I miss all three of you!

Thank you to Lake Jane for the shout out!

There are three reasons I enjoy reading the Lake Jane blog.
1. Based in Montreal. Very cool.
2. Her posts are about a mix of weddings, decoration, quotes, design and fashion. Just what I am looking for.
3. At the top she says, “A blog for the curious at heart, girly-girls, procrastinators, nail biters and eternal dreamers,” which, let’s face it, describes me exactly.

My favorite engagements photos are ones that are a just great photography in themselves and then happen to have a cute, loving couple in them. For example, these photos of Lizzie and Matt by the amazing Max Wagner.

Lizzie writes on her blog, Design Watcher, “We just got a sampling our engagement photos back yesterday! It was so fun spending the day with Max Wanger and his fiance Margaux who was also taking snaps. They are the coolest! Looking at the photos just reminded me how fun of a day it was to wander around downtown L.A.”

I just heard a song that I think is the perfect first dance song. It is “Lucky” by Jason Mraz. It is sweet, has a nice beat, and isn’t too long so the self-conscious dancer wouldn’t be in the spotlight too long.

And if that isn’t short enough, I recommend our first dance song, “The way I am,” by Ingrid Michaelson.

Mmmmm, nice memories.

We have been working hard on our website, preparing for our launch on May first. Heather and Ben (my husband and secret weapon) have been doing an amazing job organizing and coding everything. I can’t wait to show it off to the world!

I wanted to share that another bride put her Quite Like It invitations into the mail! These were done with FSC approved recycled paper and matching envelopes. There are little flecks of color throughout. I love it!
