Oh wow…

What an innovative idea for a ceiling in this cafe in Slovenia – nominated for Best Interior Design for the Restaurant and Bar Design Award.  This place looks like a lovely space to hang out while sipping on a warm…

A few things…

… to brighten the day… Are you a holiday decorator?  I feel nostalgic for New England pretty intensely this time of year; yet I’ve become so accustomed to, and spoiled with, living in a climate that rarely drops below 60…

True true…

Sometimes my life gets away with itself and I lose control into busyness.  I can be full on social and excited about external happenings, but I’ve really been learning that my preference is to be at home, quiet, creating +…

  • I, a selfie averse human, caved. And for obvious reasons, for goodness’ sake. I’m pretty thrilled with the unfolding nature of my career these days wherein I get to expand on my creative skillset, have meetings in places like @rosewoodmiramarbeach with a bathroom lounge like this, connecting with talented folks like, for instance last evening, @laciehansen @toastsantabarbara @teamhairandmakeup @mar__teamhairandmakeup @jillandcoevents, also including the two elderly Lebanese women I became fast besties with while admiring this wallpaper. Fun note: I later passed by one of them playing Somewhere Over the Rainbow on the lobby piano and, not gonna lie, I stood by grasping my heart shedding a few tears for the magic of it all. This life, you guys. This life 💗
  • If one should be waiting at the wrong bar location for a work meeting while, unbeknownst, the others were waiting together in the other bar across the way, this would not be the worst wrong bar to be in. Deco details to woo the senses at @rosewoodmiramarbeach ✨
  • I will never not pause to admire this sweet house.
  • When tasked to bring the salad to a Saturday evening summer gathering... Farmers market tastes, including the prettiest edible herbal flowers from @sweetmountaintop. Favorites were the bachelor buttons, anise, and fennel. Almost as lovely as the friends I ate it with.

  • There’s been a lot of mental sorting, in the past couple of days in particular, over what it means to live a life of purpose; what it looks like to fully materialize a passion; what it feels like to realize dreams. And what that experience is like having left your body doing what you love most. With @carlin_dunne’s passing on Pikes Peak on Sunday, I will say this first and foremost...it is a joy to have known him. He was a sweet and gentle force; ridiculously skilled but so humble; and gosh what a smile (I can’t think of a single time I bumped into him when he didn’t have a great big smile). Second, his death has hit me in weird ways and I think it’s rationalizing and accepting what comes and goes as part of our human condition and feeling the enormity and meaning of the life force by which he lived, which was, I think, not one of showiness and bravado but by his dreams with a passion led by a focused quieted mind. What he’s achieved in his career was pretty impressive, but more impressive still is how beloved he is for his solid character that could have been clouded by his successes, but wasn’t. He was always mellow and sweet and I am thankful to have had the chance to see greatness and humility in balance in one human. As is being said, he died while at the absolute literal peak of doing what he loved. And although we don’t all need to be full throttle with our dreams and passions to get the most out of life, it is up to each of us to quiet our minds enough to get clear on what it is that brings the most peace, what comes of the light sparked in your heart. I hope you feel it and I hope you find time in each day to revel in it in this one precious life. All the love in the universe, 💜Cath
