coffee table books

One of the most timeless decor trends is creatively curated coffee table books. Whether placed on a table or shelf, hardcover books filled with beautiful imagery is a popularized decor item. Over the years I have collected a few coffee table books that I proudly display on the shelves of my TV console and side table. A trendy way to display coffee table books is to organize them around a centerpiece object on the table. Living in a small studio apartment I have a much more minimalistic style than I would in a house. Therefore I prefer to not have a cluster of books on my one and only table, but would do so if I had a living room to decorate. I do, however, find having books placed inch by inch on a table to be an attractive form of decor. Nevertheless, until the day I have my own house, I will continue to collect coffee table books and place them on the shelves of my TV console.

I have talked before about how prominent and influential music has been in my life growing up. Coming from a family of musicians, singers, and dancers, music was always playing throughout the house in one form or another. Not only was the radio on or an instrument was being played, but my parents would put on their records for us to dance around to.  I have never owned my own vinyl record player, just a CD and tape player. Now, like the rest of the world, I use iTunes and Spotify to fill my apartment with music. However, I have been wanting to purchase a record player along with vinyls of the greatest artists like Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Beatles, etc.

Happy Friday! Like many of you, I am at my wits’ end with the virus and quarantine. I am really hoping to be able to go back to NYC by mid-May, but it looks like it will not be until the beginning of June. I want to be 100% confident that it is safe to go back to the city and am not sure if May 15th (my original plan) is the right time.  We will see…. sigh.

mothers day gift ideas

If you do not know the day or even the month, may I remind you that Mother’s Day is around the corner. At this point it is unclear if we will be able to spend the day with our mothers unless you are currently quarantined with them like I am. So it is more meaningful this year than ever before to send her a gift that will brighten her day. From refreshing her decor to elevating her outfits with new accessories, there is a gift to shower your mom with love this Mother’s Day.
