Happy Halloween!

This is our house yesterday morning after our first snowstorm.
The snow is mostly gone now. Still can't believe it really snowed...

keeping warm

We had our first snowfall on Saturday and this made it feel like it's already December. I am so not ready for winter yet. Brrr! On days like this I love to snuggle up on the couch with a warm blanket, a cup of tea and a book...

Here are some of my favorite throws/blankets to keep you warm this winter.

ohny - part V

Ok, this is the last OHNY post I promise...

After sending our group to Williamsburg to check out two sites after our tour of the Wunderworks Design Studio and finding them closed because I wasn't able to read the schedule correctly we headed back to Manhattan to check out the Hotel
Americano near the High Line. Like the Nolitan it just opened its doors. We toured two of its rooms, checked out the rooftop terrace with pool, the bar and party rooms in the basement, as well as the restaurant and bar on the first floor.

The interiors were designed by Paris based Arnaud Montigny of
MCH, this project was his first in the US and the architect was Enrique Norten of TEN Arquitectos. The Americano Hotel was not the only project by TEN Arquitectos to be showcased during the OHNY weekend. Also included were Cassa Hotel and Residences and a showroom for Mercedes Benz.

ohny - part IV

We started Sunday morning with a nice breakfast at Petit Albeille and walked over to our first OHNY stop of the day which was a tour of the Wunderwurks Design Studio. Tony Wurman the designer currently sells some of his pieces through Room & Board. All pieces basically consist of melted glue, you can find more specific information here on what is used.

Six of us were able to create our own bowls. Melting stuff is so much fun! I could do it all day. You can see me turning my bowl and some pictures of the finished product as well.

pumpkin

It's the time of year again when pumpkins make their appearance everywhere. If you don't want to decorate with pumpkins you can get some fall into your house by using the color orange. We even painted our front door orange a couple of months ago.

ohny - part III

The last stop of the day on Saturday was the aptly named and newly opened Nolitan Hotel which is of course also located in Nolita. We were able to check out two the 55 guest rooms and get access to he rooftop terrace. At the end we hung out in the sunken lounge in the lobby and enjoyed a happy hour cocktail!
