CoCo Takes Manhattan-Part II

Round Two... 

If you've never been to New York City, you must go. It should be on your list of cities to visit before you die. The energy there is intoxicating. 


Although this was a work trip (for the most part), I was lucky enough to have my friend entertain me. In between 8 hour shopping days I took in lots of yummy food, good drinks, great sights and of course... Pigeons. Two pigeons in the airport to be exact. Thanks D. Muah!

A little Stumptown in NYC

Amazing church in the middle of randomness

D and I had the pleasure of meeting Gary Baseman at The Breslin. He was the
sweetest guy and we had a wonderful chat. Talk about talent!

A little shopping at Anthropologie

Harlem

Another taste of home at lunch. I had grits and they were to die for!

CoCo Takes Manhattan-Part I

I'm back from New York, baby! Invigorated and refreshed, ready to take on the new year. 

I flew out to NYC to work on a kick ass apartment in Hell's Kitchen. Exposed brick, high ceilings, rooftop deck. It was definitely true love. I'll be posting about that project later on and believe me, you will NOT want to miss it.

These posters were everywhere.

Yummy drinks and a lovely man by the name of Jamaal.

Fantastic pedicab at Anthropology

Jonathan Adler

I can't count how many hours I have spent drooling over Jonathan Adler's website. It's safe to say that I would take one of everything and be very happy to do so. With beautiful furniture, accessories, rugs, art and everything else in between, he creates designs that are fun, bold and inviting. And to top it all off, he has a whole page of dachshund products. Hello! Hats off to you Mr. Adler.
