Robin Boyd's Bridge House 

1/18/2015

 
If I didn't already have a million reasons why I want to visit Australia, this 1950s Bridge House would be reason enough for me. Designed by the legendary Robin Boyd, the house got a face lift along with this article in Vogue Living.

Boyd designed two elliptical steel trusses — engineered by Bill Irwin to sit astride the old creek bed and support two longitudinal window-walls (a revolutionary system he developed with Stegbar) — to be arranged in diverging lines that both created a wedge-shaped plan and maximized internal exposure to the exterior’s established trees.-  Vogue Australia 
Just a little international modernism to round out the weekend.

Winter Uniform

A closet full of clothes and I pretty much wear some variation of the same thing every single day. I think at this point my co-workers imagine that I just have rows and rows of black skinny pants, neutral sweaters, and black boots in my closet and nothing else. That's basically true, but at least I'm in good company .

Happy New Year!

What a year!!  2014 is certainly one for the record books in our household. A wedding, a South African safari, a new job, and a brand new niece are just a few of this year's highlights. Additionally this silly blog celebrated its first birthday at the end of December without so much as a post from me. I promise to do better in 2015 and am so grateful for the friends and family who have been so supportive of this little endeavor. 

We have our work cut out for us to try to top 2014.... but I think we can do it.
