I make your life organized, stylish and dynamic through the guise of my 3 services: photojeanie, apartmentjeanie and partyjeanie. As long as I can recall, I have been streamlining other people’s lives using my top notch organization skills and keen sense of observation. My unwavering desire to make everything look pretty and orderly has landed me in the pages of Town & Country, Town & Country Travel and BUST magazines and a feature spot on HGTV’s Small Space Big Style. Please, please please contact me with your design dilemmas, composition conflicts or festive fumbles and we’ll create something that goes from flop to fab in a New York minute.
The owners of this 2-bedroom apartment in Long Island City are both super creative and have careers in graphic arts and design. The furnishings and art reflected their stylishly modern taste. With the welcomed addition of a baby into their busy lives, the usual tidy home became undone. The project was equal parts massive organization and reclaiming the design direction.
A crafty scrapbook not only documents a joyous occasion with photos and paper, but also utilizes unconventional materials to enhance the visual impact. Scanned paper napkins and vintage food photos establish the tone and story for this festive and fun cocktail party.

It was necessary to blend what she already owned and the 2 disparaging styles into a cohesive design that reflected her personal style.
The main food station was created for an intimate size engagement party. The groom-to-be is a staunch meat eater and his bride-to-be a devout vegetarian. Both have a love of cheese and sweets – especially rice krispie treats. The table setting is a mix of high brow sophisticated – fine china, crystal stemware, sterling silver and quirky kitsch – vintage soda cases, carnival chalkware and toe tags for labels.
It will probably take longer for me to write this post than it took for me to create a sweet magnet board from a discarded cookie tin found on the trash pile my dogs were scouting as a potential toilet – that included bringing home & thoroughly cleaning. This cookie tin caught my eye as the *tempting* selection seemed so dated and it was – there was a partial price tag from Philly’s own Strawbridge & Clothier which…
I know I’m a tad behind on this international obsession of every parent recording their children reacting to this song – whether it’s the 3yr old waking up from deep slumber in mid chorus or those 2 kids that should be signed to some sort of entertainment agency immediately. (I have no idea why they reminded me of Portishead though…) But when Neil Caffrey Matt Bomer for the uninformed and/or those without cable is singing this song, actually…

I can’t stop thinking about this mouthwatering kitschy kitchen! I was trying to save it for a *Wednesday Wall-covering Wrap-up* post, but I fell prey to its pretty pink perfection and wanted to my readers to be able to drink it in immediately.
