I have three things to say this morning as we sharpen our pencils and my family and I really get into the grit of this whole situation. 1) After one day of home schooling, I am convinced that teachers should be paid a million dollars annual salary! Who agrees? 2) Stay home people so this can come to an end for us all! 3) I love these pencils by @blackwing I just sharpened for our son. They feel so lovely in one’s hand and our young one seems to really enjoy doing his writing and drawing with them. It’s the little things like this that make our days a bit brighter! We might try our hand at #drawyourdaykids edition initiative by my friend @sdionbakerdesign! 🖤#interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #craftsmanship #artisanmade #handmadeisbest

A little bit of sunshine and positivity this morni

A little bit of sunshine and positivity this morning! These gorgeous, handpainted, handmade porcelain eggs made me stop in my tracks. They are by the master craftspeople @royalcopenhagen. Just in time for Spring! Did you know that a piece of Royal Copenhagen porcelain will pass 30 pairs of hands before it lands in yours. That’s kinda gobsmacking, isn’t it?
A finished piece that has passed through up to thirty pairs of hands will have been taken through moulding, painting, firing, glazing and packing. By hand. The craft of porcelain manufacturing is rather astounding to me. The time, the history, the unchanged processes. I just love this sort of stuff! It makes me so happy to herald brands like @royalcopenhagen with their more than 240 years of craftsmanship and tradition. I want to make sure we always appreciate what it takes to continue to create this beauty. It cannot be replicated by a machine. #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #supportartisans #supportthemakers #craftsmanship #porcelainart

In other news, today is #worldsleepday. Feeling quite happy to have a nice, long lie in on this rainy morning. I get to stare out the window and see my favorite tree, listen to the rain hit our copper roof (Yes! Copper! It’s fabulous!), look at our finely crafted paneled walls (by @thirdwayconstruction) and admire my choice of @farrowandball high gloss paint. Any questions? Ask me below or DM me! I love to share! In case you all didn’t know that about me yet...ha. 🖤 #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #interiorinspo #myinteriorstyle #hamptonslife

My kitchen. My flowers. Gosh, I need some pretty!

My kitchen. My flowers. Gosh, I need some pretty! It’s raining today and since my #TBI and subsequent #postconcussionsyndrome, that usually means I get a headache. Sometimes a bad one that takes me out but lately they’ve been more tolerable. Sure enough, that’s what I woke up with this morning. A headache. Perhaps it is just a headache from our constant barrage of bad news and the stress of it all. It’s hard to keep it completely together right now, isn’t it? I feel challenged when part of me wants to consume as much news as possible to be informed, and the other part of me wants to hide from it all so the stress doesn’t consume me. I really wish I could do a #flowerfriday excursion and create a bouquet like the one I made pictured here in my kitchen. That would help. It is so soothing. Self care. So it’s a #FBF instead, and I truly hope these flowers put a smile on your face or at least make your feed a little happier. Consider them virtual teleflora! ❤️ Stay safe and healthy and sane everyone. ❤️ And if you have another minute, please tell me in the comments how you are coping right now. I’d love to know and share. #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #interiorinspo #flowerstagram

Happiest of birthdays to this beautiful soul. @tra

Happiest of birthdays to this beautiful soul. @tracyandersonmethod, this video says it all to me. It sums up how blessed I feel to be on this ride called life with you by my side. It captures so genuinely your loving, fun, adventurous, supportive, pioneering self. It even captures how you have managed to get me up some incredible mountains - both literally and physically. Because somehow you once again got me up a mountain! Mind you this time you decided it would be in an inner tube, being dragged up the hill backwards while being towed by a snow mobile with serious chunks of snow spewing in our faces. 🙈 It captures such a genuine moment and I love seeing you smile that big and laugh that hard. I turned off the audio so people don’t have to hear my screams but they can imagine that they were loud. And gosh, you were right to take us up that mountain because it was fun! I might have peed my pants a little bit but it was worth it. You are infectious that way. Your zest for life encourages me every day to face my fears and not allow them to get in my way. You are life’s biggest cheerleader and I am so lucky to have you on my team. You are the most genuine friend, mother, sister, daughter, boss, teacher and partner. You laugh hard, love deeply, support unconditionally, and make everyone around you free to be the best version of themselves. And because this is Interior Monologue and a platform for artisans and makers and their stories, you are one of the most talented artisans that I have ever met. I can’t think of anyone who has so finely crafted their life’s work the way you have but the beauty about you is that you are so, SO much more than your brilliant method. You are genuinely amazing. Happy Birthday, T. I love you to the moon and back. #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #craftsmanship

Ah, Paris. Straight up interior inspiration. You’re so pretty and this picture I took the last time I was there feels pretty far away. I remember feeling so happy to be there in this chic hotel. Admiring the chandelier, the hand painted ceiling, the fabulous old wood window, the warmth of the light. You just simply cannot replicate this sort of je ne sais quoi. Sigh. I hope to see you again soon. #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #interiorinspo #parisjetaime #parisianstyle

I just feel like posting a picture of me smiling today. Why? The sun is out. My shop is launching soon. It’s Friday. #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #bepositive #smilingiscontagious

Love makes the world go round. And these awesome g

Love makes the world go round. And these awesome globemakers 🌎 make lovely worlds, don’t you think? I don’t know about you, but lately I’m trying to focus on all the love we can find in this world instead of what we are getting barraged with every day on the news. It can feel totally overwhelming. I know I was feeling very stressed about it all. Then someone very wise in my life helped me process this all. She suggested we tune out the unnecessary noise and focus on what we can actually DO to make the world a better place. Listening to CNN on repeat with “Breaking News” isn’t going to help ourselves or anyone else. If there’s something “big” you need to hear about, you’ll hear about it! Otherwise, try to find the love stories that happen all around us, all around the world every day. Spread love and kindness. Help in tangible ways on the issues you care most about. Be calm. ❤️ And, while you’re at it, let’s also spread the love for the makers of this #handmade, #handcrafted globe by Bellerby & Co @globemakers by reading my story about these master craftspeople on Interior Monologue. The link to the article is in the bio and I think you will LOVE IT! ❤️ Love our makers. #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #artisanmade #interiorinspo #craftsmanship

Oh, my heart! ❤️ I caught this little Valentin

Oh, my heart! ❤️ I caught this little Valentine in a moment at the @brooklynmuseum and my heart skipped a beat. Little does he know that his Mommy absolutely loves old Dutch master portraits and their ornate guilded frames more than I love Dutch cocoa powder! Question: Speaking of cocoa, is there anything sweeter than watching young ones absorb art? Answer: Nope! #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #craftsmanship #artmakesmehappy

And the Oscar goes to.... Anyone watch the Oscars

And the Oscar goes to....
Anyone watch the Oscars last night? Wasn’t the most entertaining event but I did love one of the earlier moments from the red carpet. This moment of handcrafted fashion perfection. Natalie Portman in this mesmerising, hand embroidered dress and cape managed to capture the red carpet moment perfectly with the subtle and yet not-so-subtle message literally sewn into her garment. The names of the women directors who were NOT nominated in the best director category (since it was only men who were nominated this year...) are stitched into the edging of the cape in gold and it’s genius and it’s so exquisite! @Dior, @mariagraziachiuri and @natalieportman sure made the most memorable Oscar moment for me! The dress takes my breath away and the message is spot on. Stunning! Bravo! 🖤 #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #handcrafted #craftsmanship #dior #atelier 📸 by @gettyimages

I’ve waited until this week to post this pic of two of the funniest, sweetest people I know! Happy birthday week @adick206 and @stevenbeltrani. May you always stand out in a crowd. And no, this post has nothing to do with craftsmanship but it’s FUN. Am I right, Steven? 😉🎂❤️ #interiormonologue ##myinteriormonologue #camochic #friendswhomakeyoulaugh

I have been on my feet for all day for the last two days walking the shows @ny_now and @shoppeobject and all I can manage to do beyond wanting to rip off my shoes and lie down on the floor at Javits is realize I have an obsession for tabletop. It’s real. And that most of the product I have seen the last two days doesn’t even come close to this place setting I photographed @hermes last week. I’m just a bit of a craftsmanship snob I guess. There is a LOT of crap out there people! A lot. Some gems out there but not as much as I hoped for. But that is the reason why I have to do what I have to do next! It’s why I plan to launch the next phase of Interior Monologue to help you all cull through the crap and buy or gift things that are made well and beautifully, thoughtfully and elegant, are modern yet timeless and most importantly that less is always more! Let’s do this. #interiormonologue #myinteriormonologue #craftsmanship #artisans #handmadeisbestmade
