Sweetpie Restaurant NYC

Unfortunately, I think Sweetiepie is closed now, but I thought I would post some pics anyway because I think it is absolutely gorgeous!  Apparently the idea behind it was to create a space where kids and moms could have an equally great time (read: they're having mac & cheese and you're having a much-deserved martini).  The restaurant was marketed as a "cocktails in a candy store," kind of place where moms didn't have to downgrade their glamour requirement when lunching with the little one. Sounds perfect to me! ;)

Gorgeous pink banquette seating!!  Love!

Yum! Love the use of mismatched dishes!

Pink and white decor and a cute bartender ... what more could a girl ask for?

Bird cage you can actually sit in!

Mirrored walls and ceiling in the main room

Silver-plated champagne bucket and candelabra

Whimsical murals in the private dining room

Sweetie Pig sundae.  Yikes!  18 scoops of ice cream!!

You Can Thank Me Later :)

Okay.  So if I was Catholic I'd be heading to confession right now because I've got a major case of the envies ... but seriously, this shed-turned-glass-greenhouse is one of the most gorgeous things I have EVER seen!!!  And what makes it even better is that it was a wedding gift from the owner's husband!  So romantic!  And what's sexier than a guy that can build things?  I'll answer that for you.  Nothing!  He replaced the walls of the shed with 11 panes of windows he found at a salvage yard and then replaced the roof with tempered glass to give it that greenhouse effect.  What an amazing idea, although it does not sound easy! 

I just think this is the most beautiful little spot!  I like the way it blends almost seamlessly into the surrounding environment but has that touch of glam at the same time.  

Chandeliers are just for show ... but what a show it is!!

Peach trees and Concord grapevines hang overhead!

Don't forget the sunblock ;)

Who needs real flowers 
when you have these floral beauties?

Shelving is made from an old door that's been cut in half

Stack of vintage luggage makes a great end table!

Cozy Cottages: Wood Paneling

Nothing says "cozy cottage" like white wood paneling ... to me, anyway!  These beds all look so inviting that I'm all but falling asleep picturing myself crawling into one after a long day of swimming and lying in the sun!  

Slatted doors act as headboard/room separator.

Pretty windows!

Green light fixture mirrors the outside! 

A bit too white but I love the side table!

Cozy time!  Reminds me of my old bedroom!

Tucked away! Perfect spot to sleep and read!

Very cute and self contained!

Breakfast in Paris?

Imagine waking up and eating breakfast on this Paris apartment rooftop balcony.  Visit Haven in Paris to view this beauty (and tons of others) and you'll be saying, "Garçon un croissant s'il vous plaît," before you know it ;)
