Orange: (May Be)The New Yellow
Orange just may become the new yellow. My obsession with yellow (right down to a tire swing) was on target for our house in Cambridge. It worked perfectly as an accent color to offset a monochromatic scheme, but I'm not feeling it for our California home. In our next abode, I'm looking forward to exploring new colors and styles, and as of late, orange seems to be catching my eye. Here are a few inspiring images from Pinterest:

Just Breathe
Less than 2 weeks left before we leave our Cambridge house, so the anxiety levels are reaching an all-time high. I need to remind myself to slow down and breathe. Taking deep breaths calms my mind and body for at least a moment in time. The moving preparations have been going smoothly and now I'm gearing up for a month of visiting family and friends on the East Coast before we head out West. I thought I'd share a few of the things that happened last week:
1. I received the sweetest thank you from the youngest clients I've ever worked for on this project.
2. Friends hosted a farewell party for us, which was both emotional and celebratory. Thank you EVB and DVB!
3. I got this tote as a gift and it says it all.
4. Cocoon Blog reached over 280 friends on Facebook! Click here to become one.
5. I crossed off one of the seven items on my Farewell, New England list. Six more to go!
Celebrate Father's Day
Here's to celebrating the fathers in our lives, all the amazing Dads, past and present. To remember, honor and treasure the times spent together and look forward to special times yet to come.
Happy Father's Day!
Obsessing Over...
I'm currently obsessing over:
1. A dusty rose handbag .
2. Anthropologie's Isleta bedding, boldly graphic yet softly hued.
3. A refreshing lemon tart.
4. A pefect sweater for cool Berkeley nights.
5. A dreamy sofa.
6. A funky pillow.
