Update - February 18 2010
We ended up staying at the Chelsea Hotel - what a great experience! I'm sure the Jane rocks, but we had to check out what we were more drawn to. I think we're ready to take root in NY. :)

I've been researching a trip to New York, today, and in looking for affordable-but-still-cool places to stay, came across The Jane's website. It is very clever and well designed, and if the hotel is as fun as the website, it's definitely going on my short-list. Check it out!

I really love the new layout of T Magazine. It's different, sleek, clean, and beautiful. The only thing I don't like about it is the fixed center column...it's just not user friendly and it's weird. If they use the rest of that column for more content, or maybe stretch some other feature across the center of the page, it would make the new look more enjoyable.

I recently got a new job. I have moved from working in a very stressful news environment to working in what seems like the complete opposite. The best part of this move was taking twelve days off in-between. Everyone needs to do that when they can. I got so much done during that time - closets and computer files were organized, trash was trashed, blankets were cleaned. I also ended up getting creative in a way I've been to stressed to do in a while. I painted and put up Christmas lights, changed my Ikea desktop from a plain natural Vika to a blue, peanut-shaped Vika Manne - it is a great thing, to refresh the home place.

So, as I try to get re-inspired web-wise, I'm going to post a pic of a refreshed area of my home that I particularly love...off to surf for all the fab design I've missed out on in the past couple of months.
