Shiny Happy People

I typed that title without one ounce of irony, because I just returned from a lovely weekend spent with friends and family. There's nothing like hanging with the people you love to make even the grinchiest heart grow three sizes larger. And so today's post will be short (happy I may be, but tired I mos def am), but I promise it shall be sweet. And colorful.

Look at that --- there's something in my good mood for you, too. Everyone needs a little rainbow action on Monday, right?

Now I'm off to unpack, which will probably kill my buzz...

See you dudes tomorrow!

Secret Lover

Confession: another website has been stealing me away, but I'm stopping by our special happy place for a few minutes today, just to say that I still love you. Don't be mad, baby. Let's have a three way.

It's my new interior photography website! I'm still tweaking it (and will probably never stop tweaking it), but erinerinerin.com is finally up and running. Did you just say that is the most amazing site name ever? You can thank gin and Karly for that one.

Click on that link right now and tell me what you think. Lazy people, feast your eyes on picturez:

Dudes I am tired x infinity, plus I'm leaving on a jet plane early tomorrow to see my baby sister graduate from college this weekend (yay!), so I'm going to cut on out of here.

I'll try to stop by tomorrow, but if I don't make it have a supercallfragelisticexbealladocious weekend!

Goldbar 2.Oh yes!

Way back in the summer of 2008 (yes, we've been here THAT long, we're old now and wear support hose) I posted the most stupendous restaurant / bar ever to come across mine eyes.  The Goldbar in NYC has my heart but today, today I might be willing to give my soul to another restaurant that's come calling.  Enter the Juliet Supper Club, also located in New York City (this isn't fair, guys) it is the stuff dreams are made of:

pattern on pattern on pattern topped with super slick gloss = um, yes please.  That ceiling!!!!

But I will warn you not to waste your time visiting their website as you will be bombarded with what is surely Pauly D on the ones and twos along with a stunning visual that involves fire behind a tequila bottle.  hint:  it's really not stunning and makes me want to ensure that this place is empty when I visit.

klein blue tables, mirrored copper tiles and navy hatch-pattern upholstery.  We would have put those together, right?

more applause

after finding the supperclub, I had to check out the designers, Bluarch, where I found these gems:

The Dekko Cafe in Queens, NY

Hudson Eatery in New York City

Apparently I like things that glow en masse.  go figure.
