MILKTOAST: lofty design and decorating.

lofty design and decorating.

here's a snapshot from gwyneth paltrow and chris martin's tribeca loft. it's a little too perfect, too museum-like for me to comfortably live in, but the decoration is spectacular. i love the kitchen and i love their living room swing but my heart is captured by the shag rug.

i'm a big fan of muted colours for decorating but an entire loft in shades of white is a bit of a stretch, especially with kids and pets running about.

their hamptons home has a bit more colour but still the decorating style doesn't align with mine.

milk and toast -- a favourite and most nurturing combination. I like my milk ice cold with a straw (one of those cute paper straws with red stripes), or steaming hot, flavoured with a little vanilla and a lot of cinnamon. my toast -- usually two slices at once, and oftentimes flanked with apple slices or cheddar cheese -- is buttery and crunchy.

while growing old together with this blog, and watching it evolve, I've found joy in the milk and toast of my life, and have carved out a little place in the world wide web to record it. stick around, read a few entries -- perhaps you'll find something you love or can relate to.
