Coveting: Covet Garden + Nikole Herriott

The latest Covet Garden magazine turned up in my inbox the other day and the entire issue is focused around Nikole Herriott of Herriott Grace. They've captured her beautiful apartment and wonderful sense of style in a way that is both fresh and true to Nikole's design aesthetic.

It reminded me of how beautiful the Herriott Grace shop is (even though most items are usually understandably sold out!). I always feel like I fail at keeping things simple and elegant and Nikole always manages to do it with a slightly rustic touch that is truly individual.

It has been a bit of a crazy week. I always think to myself that our lives are pretty typical and that we don't do much of anything but I have to come to terms that we tend to be busy more often than not. Scheduling meeting with friends is like negotiating a peace treaty. Lots of back and forth. Laundry days get lost in the shuffle. The husband has been sick all week. Slowly getting worse before he gets better. I've been trying to keep at the crafts and do some reading... but it's all very tiring!

On a calmer note, here are some beautifully finished pieces from Herriott Grace.
