Pretty surreal: Our wedding at Shakespeare on The Hudson is on Martha Stewart Weddings! I’m still in a bit of disbelief they featured us but also incredibly honored. At long last, Penny finally gets her moment of fame! Check out the full feature here.

Gave our bathroom a little makeover! Painted the dresser navy blue and added brass hardware from Rejuvenation, then wallpapered the walls with this zippy pineapple print from @riflepaperco-blog and Hygge and West.

Last night, my friend Laurie Carroll and I attended Marie Kondo’s first independent event — hosted at the Japan Society in NYC. Needless to say, I think we’ve both drunk the KonMari Koolaid (although we sheepishly admitted that we’re both a long way from tidying our apartments).

According to historian Michel Pastoureau, green has been a symbol of life, luck and hope, but also disorder, greed, poison, and the devil. I mean, with a legacy like that, no wonder it's my favorite color. (Psst. Thanks to Schoolhouse Electric for replacing our damaged armchair so quickly!)

How stunning are these illustrations by Meagan Morrison of TravelWriteDraw? Can’t believe it’s already been a month since we were in South Africa and Botswana, and now I’m already plotting a way to return next year.
