NYC Here I Come

I feel pretty darn lucky that I get to go to NYC as often as I do. And not for work, but for play.

Once again, I'm tagging along on husband's trip to the city that was once home base. The city I know better than all other cities. And, since I'm kid-less (thanks Nana!), it will be all about ME! What do I want to do?

I'm planning to meet up with pals (cocktails in Tribeca?!) Get to the MET at night again (a favorite activity) and roam my favorite SoHo boutiques. I love the timing of this trip, because I can start planning/buying holiday gifts.

And even though David will be off on some work-related activities, it's still time just for the two of us. And, as I've often stated, walking through a city hand-in-hand with my hubby is one of my FAVORITE ways to pass a sunny afternoon. "Remember when it was just the two of us?" we'll say. Then, "We have to bring the girls on our next trip." Sigh.

Hooray hooray!

Family Room: The Accent Wall

Wall: Before Ever since I started to think about decorating this house -- way back in October -- I knew I wanted to do a dramatic accent wall in the family room. The room is huge with two-story ceilings. There are six windows on one wall and four more flanking the fireplace -- so this room could definitely handle a dark, rich color. A few design magazine, sites and HGTV shows later, navy blue stuck in my head. Like one design show I watch advocates, look to the clothes you wear often to help decide color -- which for me and Dave is denim. And we both have soft navy sweatshirts that are common weekend wear. Navy it was -- decided in December. So, each night since we moved in while watching TV I'd stare at the beige wall, that is slightly inset, and imagine it was navy blue. And I'd itch and wish to paint it. Now, with the new media cabinet arriving on Friday, it's finally time! Once we moved out the furniture pieces we no longer will need, we reoriented everything ...

Top 5 Spots in Tenerife: La Ortava and Hotel Mencey

3. La Ortava A charming old town in the valley above Puerto de la Cruz. In my memory, it was green and lush, but in reality it's a small village populated by ancient buildings and nice locals. The Casa de los Balcones is a popular tourist spot to pick up local lace and your own little balcony. We walked up and down the hilly streets, and discovered two stunning public gardens and a nice coffee shop. We also watched fancy-dressed wedding guests entering an old church. The bride, I'm sorry to report, was very, very late. View Down a Twisty Street in La Ortava The Famous Tourist Trap - Casa de los Balcones  Jardin Victoria With Quite a View! 4. Hotel Mencey and Parque Garcia Sanabria In Santa Cruz, the small city we used as home base, we stretched our budget a little to stay at the historic Hotel Mencey. It was a comfortable, well-maintained hotel in a great location. I love a hotel will a lot of common spaces to relax in, and this one had a bunch, all with beaut...
