It drove me crazy how to make our bookshelf more appealing to the eye until I came across an interview with Haus Interior’s Nina Freudenberger and her home displayed her books all color coded. Brilliant! What used to be a sloppy mess of disorderly reads has now turned into somewhat of an art piece.

A recurring theme in my home office is the “X”. It all started with the giant desk my father-in-law (bless his heart!) custom built me and my recent X addition is this fantastic cross lamp that adds a bold contemporary look to the space.

Well, it only took us four months to finally apply for our marriage license. We definitely slacked but managed to get off our lazy butts and send in the application + money for the license…and now it’s official! Next up…changing my name at the Social Security office, DMV, etc etc…not looking forward to the entire process but being married to my husband makes it totally worth it.

I admit, I’ve been slacking big time in the cooking department. Call me lazy because all we’ve been eating lately is pizza, takeout Mexican food and Thai delivered to the house. Sometimes, I just don’t want to do anything and cooking can be such a pain…especially the cleaning part. Hey, I’m only human! But this weekend we decided to treat ourselves to a delicious home-cooked meal, chill out with a giant glass of wine and just veg out to the NBA All Star game. Ah, bliss.

We poached thick cuts of fresh swordfish in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and whipped up a bed of parpadelle and spinach (cooked in the leftover juices and liquids from the poached fish.) Light, fresh and tasty.

How did you spend your Saturday night?
