New Work Space

Home Improvements

This new year is all about finishing projects. To start the year off right Matt and I have already completed several projects. Check out our dining room chairs. We reupholstered them with a huge houndstooth print. It should be noted that he did most of the manual work.



My many new Terrariums

Matt and I waited a while before giving each other our Christmas/Anniversary gifts. Matt had our friend Catherine Hart make handblown glass bowls which he used to make a bunch of small terrariums. They are really the perfect plant gift because they don't need that much care. I think they are pretty awesome.

BBQ in New York

While in New York we mostly played with the puppy. We did meet up with Matt's old friend Hoops and got 4 1/2 pounds of BBQ in Williamsburg at Fette Sau.

A Merry Murphy Christmas

My family always outdoes themselves when it comes to the holidays, from the house to the homemade eggnog. I never take enough pictures during Christmas but here a few.

DUSEN DUSEN and HEY MURPHY

Ellen had a little holiday sale before Christmas and asked me to join in with my HEY MURPHY line. It's was awesome. I had some cocktails, played with a puppy, and sold some jewelry. Thanks to everyone who came out! I think meeting Ellen's new puppy Snips was the highlight of my trip.
