Since we're not doing anything very exciting or glamorous for this New Year's Eve, I thought I'd compile a group of pretties that scream "New Year's Eve" to me... Tables I'd love to sit at... Things I'd love to wear...
The perfect black crystal chandelier for New Year's Eve...
Aren't these black and white chinoiserie plates gorgeous???
If I had some place to go other than the living room, I'd love to wear this fun cocktail ring (from here)
And how amazing is this wallpapered closet?!!! (from Houzz)...
I could see putting on my "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" dress in there...
Seriously I'm in love with that dress. (And don't have it btw) but there are so many places online you can find who sell a version of it:
... But in reality I'll be at home in my pjs...
Enjoying one of these with my husband:
Celebrating this:
Happy New Year!!! Thank you so much for your support & friendship. You've all been so amazing & your comments & emails mean so much to me. Have fun & be safe tonight!!!!

ps- a little heads up on what's to come in our house this next year: ORGANIZATION!! We're hitting the closets, laundry room & work spaces, and are on a mission to make them functional and pretty. Can't wait!!!
It is a rare building design that manages to appear at once contextual and completely alienated from its surroundings. The curves of this unique house by J. Mayer H. Architects bleed out from its edges and flow into the landscape around it, yet the division of artificial and natural remains quite clear save for the ambiguous boundary of the landscaped yard.
The attention to volume, curves and fluidity extends from the exterior of the house to its interior spaces that seem carved out of a single solid substance and morph from one room into the next like a series of caverns. The shell of the structure is pierced by likewise curved openings that frame incredible views of the adjacent and distant natural and residential areas.
Moving back to the outside, it is clear that there is an overall logic and rhythm governing the structure as it relates to the land on which it sits – namely, that it pushes out in all directions and moves both with and against the hill it rests on. The real accomplishment of this house design lies not in its purely aesthetic qualities but in the complex ways in which it relates to its environment and seeks a balance between being on independent object building and part of its site and surroundings.
