Start Spreading The News....

I am leaving today for...to see this guy, which you might remember from here, here or here.
Tuesday he will be taping a show that will feature an audience of all design bloggers and I thrilled to be included in this group.
Since I had a plus one I decided to take another very dapper man...my Dad. Not only does he love design but we always have a good time in New York together.
So I will leave you with some images from my bf Nate....
And I know I have posted about this little one before but I still want it...
A client and I were looking at this the other day...we are still debating...
I think this rug could be pretty cool too...
I will share with you how it all went later in the week when I get back south.

I Am Setting My TiVo Right Now

My boyfriend, Nate, called me yesterday to tell me he is getting his own show! Okay, there is a possibility that I may have read it on the Chicago Tribune. Either way, I would love to see more of Nate on a daily basis. Isn't this a cute picture of us?What? Okay, that is a picture of my BF with Magaret Russell, Editor in Chief of Elle Decor. Ugh, some people have all the luck.....

*I just searched H&H to see how many times I have posted on Nate and in one year I have done 5 posts with him in it. Is that a problem?

Loving This-Of course it is from Nate

Loving this @ $499 from HSN. While you are there you should check out these...


Of course my love for Nate runs DEEP.

Mondays Are For Day Dreaming NB + MS = BFF

Just indulge me... In another life Nate Berkus and I could actually be best friends. My love for Nate Berkus is long running, he was definitely my very first design crush. His book Home Rules was my first design book, thanks to my friend Sara. On Friday Oprah was a rerun with Nate on it as one of the guests, and I fell in love a little more. On top of being a very down to earth designer, he is also kind, a quality I appreciate very much. Let's start my day dream with the bed featured on the back of his book actually belonging to me, which he of course designed just for me because we are the closest of friends. ++Sorry I have to interrupt this daydream to insert another quick one here:
While researching this post I was on his website, where I can across his list of publications he had been featured in. A list like this is what every decorator/designer dreams of. There is not a good way to show them here but you can see them for yourself HERE.

Okay where were we....Oh yes, his house we would hang out in together- Harry, Henry, and Emma would also be best dog friends (as seen in Elle Decor Sept. 08)...We would have the best conversations around this table, maybe Oprah would even come by...
When we are not hanging out in Chicago he could come over to my house which of course he helped me with. It would look a lot like Katie Lee Joel's house as seen in Domino June/July 2008 since he used a lot of gray for her place...


I would live in a house that would be big enough for Nate to find me 2 chandeliers to go over my big dining room table










And I would have doors in my bedroom that opened onto a fabulous porch like the bedroom below...
Nate would also make sure my kitchen was this wonderful since he would be our frequent guest...Yes, I can see it all now, I need to put him on my Christmas card list, oh wait that is imaginary too.....You never know, it could happen. Nate, if you need a friend to go with you on your future travels you know where to find me, my bags are packed and waiting!
