Dale and I have now been in our apartment in St. Louis for three years and I have always wanted to take some time to document it before we move! While we still have one more year here, I went ahead and took some photos so that I will be able to look back on our first home. We are lucky to be on the corner of our building so we get lots of light, and I also love our black and white checkered floor in the kitchen. Enjoy!
STL Adventures
Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing a few photos from the last few weekends Dale and I spent in St. Louis. As the warm weather continues we have spent lots of time in Forest Park, we spent an afternoon at the St. Louis Art Museum, and we have popped by one of my favorite stores, Flowers & Weeds, a few times. I was especially excited to find a plant for my new llama planter. Enjoy!
Letters Are Lovely 8
I can't believe it is already my second fall in STL! I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather this weekend.
Sisters In STL
I spent last Saturday exploring Cherokee Street in STL with my two future sister-in-laws! With the wedding quickly approaching it was nice to spend a relaxing weekend shopping, eating, and enjoying the nice weather. Saturday night we ate at Charlie Gitto's, one of my favorite Italian restaurants on The Hill. It really is hard to beat homemade noodles.
Sunday we ate breakfast at the Soulard Coffee Garden. This was followed by a trip to get gelato at the Gelateria del Leone. After trying way too many samples we each finally decided on our order. Next up was a quick stop at 4 Hands Brewing Co. to get some beer for the boys back home. Our last adventure was a visit to see the Jewel Box in Forest Park. I was excited to finally take a peek inside this mysterious greenhouse, and it is definitely worth a visit! Thanks for visiting Dianne and Heidi!
Alternative Medicine Poster
Here is a look at the poster I designed for Dale's radio show! To take in all the details here is the link to the full project.
STL Design Week | Aaron Draplin
One of the highlights of Saint Louis Design Week was hearing Aaron Draplin speak. Not only did his sense of humor make his talk entertaining, he was very humble about the success he has had as a designer. Aaron at one point stated he has been called a "raging sentimentalist," a quality that does seem to shine through in his work. If you ever get the chance, don't miss the opportunity for an entertaining hour or two listing to Aaron. There is also a great interview with him on Designboom. It's a few years old, but definitely worth the read. Thanks for a great evening STLDW and Mr. Draplin!
