A New Favorite: Crane & Canopy

I recently discovered this new bedding company called Crane & Canopy. They specialize in high-quality, luxury fabrics, innovative bedding and contemporary designs at attainable prices. Which is just up my alley. In addition to sumptuous duvets and pretty prints their line of embroidered designs is absolutely stunning. My favorite designs by far are the classic crisp sheet sets with the colorfully embroidered scalloped edges, available in an a range of colors the coral and mint are my favorites.  Inspired by the mint embroidered sheet set, I pulled together a room that would surely welcome Spring.  I may have to make a few changes to my bedroom in order to make room for one of these sets in my home.  Please enjoy!

On another level, Crane & Canopy is committed to making a positive impact on the community. Recently they held an event with the non-profit group Safe Horizon in NYC.  They toasted to “A Safe Night’s Sleep” Initiative where from February 26, 2013 through May 30, 2013, Crane & Canopy will donate a complete bedding set (duvet cover, shams and comforter) for every bedding set (duvet cover and shams) purchased to Safe Horizon’s shelter residents as they leave the shelter to begin a future free from violence as part of the organizations.  The evening was spent sharing the amazing work Safe Horizon does all throughout New York City and sharing the impact their partnership will make in the lives of domestic violence victims.

Hop Into Spring: Bunny Love

Happy Friday! At last, it’s been a long week! March is hare, I mean here (had to do it) so why not celebrate the lovely bunny objects and accessories of the world? I will always love a good bunny and how great would it be to have a the ceramic one mixed into an art wall above your couch or bed?

Through My Lens: February In Pictures

February

Happy March! The month when we can welcome Spring and say goodbye to winter! Although February was a short month, it was a productive month. Beginning with furniture for the wedding being sent to the upholsterer, my bookshelves getting a final coat of paint to ending it with paper being hung in my entryway. In between there were snowstorms, birthday parties and romantic evenings – remember Valentines was smack dab in the middle of the month? My how time flies. Let’s hope March is just as productive. I still have a very long to-do list!

 

How was your February? Were you able to mark anything off of your to-do lists?  My best, Lauren

Beautiful Flowers: Spring Is On It’s Way

Deli Tulips – photo by: Lauren Gries

Spring is just around the corner in New York and the plentiful amounts of tulips at every corner deli are a consistent reminder. I love that flowers are so accessible to us in New York and I’ve decided to take advantage of this luxury more often. Instead of picking up a salty or sweet treat, why not pick up flowers that can make my mood?

On Friday I did just that brought home two bunches of Tulips. With no added calories I went to bed feeling so satisfied! The tulips ended up in the bathroom and the juxtaposition of the romantic buds next to the model skull is calling out for a still life to be painted. Now I’m thinking, what flowers will I bring home next week?

 

Do you have any favorite blooms? My Best, Lauren
