Three pretty things

The beautiful Susan Cernek in a blue shirt with ripped jeans and sky-high heels. She gets it right every time.
This gorgeous room makes me want to get brighter lightbulbs and more plants for our apartment.
How genius is this? I have an elevator phobia, but I'd at least press the button for this one (and then take the stairs.)

Ms. Habit said...

best part about this post: revealing "elevator phobia" - I have the same thing! Stairs win every time. Although, a double stroller is forcing me to reconsider. hah, happy to know I'm not alone.

Sydney said...

Oh my gosh, that elevator is hilarous!! A friend of mine had something sort of similar but the painting was over her light switch and the switch was...well strategically placed by his naughty place...

Jesse said...

the old, slow, creeky elevators are the worst -- just looking at them makes me nervous.
btw, love the outfit post. clearly i need a chambray shirt so i can rock this outfit all spring. so chic and timeless.

Happy Wife said...

I can't get over michelangelo's artwork and the elevator. Absolutely perfect!!!
The only time I get scared in an elevator, is when it's surrounded by glass walls and you can see exactly how far you're going up... really then, that's being scared of heights I guess. Maybe not the same :)

Melissa Stevens said...

That room is beautiful! And that elevator is amazing, never seen anything like that before!!!

I don't have an elevator phobia, but I choose stairs very often - but it's rather callories and cellulitis phobia ;)

Monique said...

Ha! I love the mural and of course I love that beautiful room!

Nomadic D. said...

I love that elevator art! I once got stuck in a tiny elevator in Seville for about 2 minutes and it was horrible! I'm not even claustrophobic, but my friend started laughing hysterically and I found myself screaming at her to stop because she was using up all the oxygen. Hilarious in retrospect.

benson said...

Susan reminds me of Sloan from Ferris Bueller in this pic.

Joanna Goddard said...

nomadic d, that is so scary! my friend got stuck in an elevator in Madrid for EIGHT hours -- and he and his friend tried to pry it open, but there was a BRICK WALL on the other side! AHHHH!!!!

Audrey said...

Absolutely loving the last one! How clever!!!

Love all three photos.. but that elevator shot is hysterical & awesome!! Thanks for sharing!

Anne said...

That parquet flooring is Beautiful! It reminds me of the classic apartments in France. Speaking of France: you'd find the elevators (particularly in that classy kind of apartment buildings) horrible! Tiny and antique!! (but wouldn't such a beautiful home be worth carrying your baby up a gazillion steps?)

The Wise Take said...

Haha. That elevator painting is awesome.

Zelina Garza said...

so beautiful! that room is so amazing.

Miss Molly said...

JESSICA DEFINE said...

dang, that gal brought it with her blue outfit.

V. Webber said...

What a beautiful stamp! That would have been great when I was sending out all of my wedding invites.

hip hip gin gin said...

Oh I SO wish that brighter light bulbs could mimic that glorious natural light, I would put them in every room. But so far I'm realizing that nothing can replace having lots of big, lovely windows like that. In our next house that will be my number one criteria.

Jordan P said...

I'm dying over the molding on that ceiling. Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.

Cassandra Marie said...

Haha that's awesome!

jenny @ albeit... said...

hahah. i love that elevator painting! clever!
and YES to the crown moldings!! LUVVVV and DIEE :)

Joanna Goddard said...

Jess said...

amazing! Love this!

julia said...

elevators don't make me as nervous as the people who ride them.

Main Street said...

Oh that first outfit...love love love.

Just did a post about new spring decorating...Would love for you to stop by!

Wendy said...

I love all three of these very pretty things. I'm pretty sure I'm going to copy that first outfit! ha ha

And if I ever see this Elevator I'm definitely getting a pic. Very cool!

Natalia Valerie said...

I love those french doors opening up to the bedroom. It just looks so open and inviting!

Julie said...

Love blue on blue!!

I kinda scared to be in a elevator myself.

Joanna Goddard said...

my sweets, here are the answers from susan, about her beautiful clothes:

"the shoes are Christian Louboutin (blue velvet! couldn’t resist), the button-down is Uniqlo and the jeans are one of my favorite purchases & shopping experiences ever: 50-euro jeans from a Paris H&M. I saw them in the window the morning I landed and zoomed back the next day, only to find the LAST pair in my size. They are magic."

xoxo

natalie said...

Dang it, I have been on the hunt for some blue velvet or suede pumps... time to hunt or start saving.

sara said...

she is so effortlessly put together, i am envious!

shoegirl said...

OMG - I hate elevators too! I was in one that fell (granted, only half a floor & it caught itself), so I'm forever scarred from the experience.

shoegirl said...

Oh, & Ms. Cernek looks amazing. Think I'm headed to H&M tomorrow...

Sally Honeycutt said...

Looove that room with the gorgeous high ceilings!!

Jackie said...

Love the elevator art!

nana said...

i believe the elevator pictures are from a plastic surgery clinic's (bk dong yang plastic surgery clinic?) in seoul, korea. take the lift and you'll be born again into a 'new' person. i think they won an award for this as well. :)
