I, like most Creatives, find the need to constantly be changing it up.  I don’t know if it’s the fact that we need actual change, or that we need to create the change, but regardless we need it.  For me, one of those places were I need this change is in my decor.  And while it’s too costly and time consuming to always be switching up paint, furniture, or kitchen cabinets (oh how I wish I could change my kitchen cabinets) one place I can always easily, and inexpensively, change are the accents that really make a house a home.    

So with an itch for change I knew I had to scratch I headed to one of my favorite places to find one of my favorite designers, and a few good pieces.  Nate Berkus for Targets’ spring line does not disappoint.  It’s chalked full of natural woods, bright whites, and boho inspired accents to mix and match.  Each piece feels collected and has a light, relaxed airiness to it that just screams of California vibes.  

I began with my favorite place to always change; my coffee table.  I traded my faux python for Nate’s ceramic hand wrought white and blue tray (which would be an amazing serving piece as well), filled the etched ceramic pedestal bowl with snacks, cut some fresh eucalyptus for the textured glass vase, and finished it off with two decorative pyramids.

I had to snag Nate’s triangle throw since there are few things I love as much as a good blanket and this one is perfect for both my couch or an afternoon in the park.  And the wood and resin inlay tray is my new go-to for schlepping coffee, water, more coffee, and any of my other morning necessities to and fro.

Lastly, in my office I finally corralled the overwhelming stack of magazines by placing them in Nate’s Hyacinth Water Basket, and continued the work on my #shelfie.  I added a second etched ceramic pedestal bowl to store my wine corks (I loved it so much I had to have two), a fabulous little bird tea light, and the gold bird dish to display my shells and sea glass I’ve collected over numerous trips to the beach.  I’ve also  got my eye on this globe light which would make a welcome #shelfie or possible bar cart addition. 

All in all I’d say by adding just a few new pieces the rooms received quite the breath of fresh California air.  Now only if we could get that warm California weather!  Truly, MKR

A Wintery Floral Recipe

There’s nothing more symbolic of fresh starts than fresh flowers.  Rich hues of plum in the form of ranunculus and calla lilies mix perfectly with winter white drooping parrot tulips, anemones, and silver brunias.  The different layers create a more organic and free flowing feel, and the arrangement receives my favorite, yet unexpected twist by opting out of a traditional vase and using a pewter pitcher instead. After all, a vase is really anything that holds water, right?  In the end, this easy arrangement feels very now and very needed.  Truly, MKR

Ingredients
  1. Flowering Kale
  2. Ranunculus
  3. Calla Lillies
  4. Anemones
  5. Parrot Tulips
  6. Silver Brunia
  7. White Veronica
Instructions
  1. Step One. Fill vessel with room temperature water and begin by placing a large head of flowering kale in the middle of the vase.
  2. Step Two. Once you’ve placed the kale, work your way out, mixing deep plum ranunculus, calla lilies, white and black anemones, and a row of drooping parrot tulips to line the outer edge of the vessel. You can use floral foam if you'd like but as other flowers are added they will help keep the kale centered.
  3. Step Three. Use sprigs of silver brunia to fill in the inevitable holes, which give it a true feeling of winter.
  4. Step Four. Add a few stems of white veronica for added height.

Spiked & Spiced Eggnog

Spiked & Spiced Eggnog, Waiting On MarthaSpiked & Spiced Eggnog, Waiting On MarthaSpiked & Spiced Eggnog, Waiting On Martha Spiked & Spiced Eggnog, Waiting On Martha

If we’re telling truths here, I’ve never been a fan of eggnog.  Not that I had ever tried it or anything, I couldn’t get past the whole idea of raw eggs.  But the older I got, and the more I watched National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, the more I felt I needed to conquer this fear.  So I spent yesterday in the kitchen trying out a few different recipes until I found just the right one; a Spiked & Spiced Eggnog.

By combining your standard eggnog ingredients but adding a bit more spice and getting a little help from my friends called Amaretto and Absolut I can now not get enough of this delicious eggy-nog-nog.  And how gorgeous is the new Absolut Andy Warhol bottle?  I’m gifting one to my mother this holiday season to sit atop her new bar cart.  So for all you last minute gifters might I suggest a little Andy Warhol and some nog?!  Truly, MKR
