Masterpiece

How amazing is this painting of Milo?! It captures everything I love about him. He just gets better and sweeter by the day.

Dumais ID

I am loving the spaces designed by Kevin Dumais and not just because we share an affinity for collage walls and nautical flair.

OKL Event - Event 3

Thanks to all who made Empiric's 3rd One Kings Lane event last week another big success.

OKL's beautiful new image on their home page had me feeling deja vu

A Present To Myself

Take a peak back to when my love affair for this sort of thing all started....

Friday!

Sloane

With a bevy of other talented thirtysomething's, I recently contributed to the first issue of Sloane Magazine. If you, like us, started your magazine obsession flipping the pages of Sassy and Jane you will surely enjoy the return of this genre. Check it out here.

Black Crow Studios

At a recent West Week event hosted by One Kings Lane I met Tracy Hiner of Black Crow Studios and have since become obsessed with custom wall papers. Just the idea of custom wallpaper and its endless possibilities! How fantastic would these Empiric prints be on a focal wall..

The Toweys

Last fall we had our family portrait shot by Heather Cantrell at our neighbor, Kinkead Contemporary. Adorable (and Milo was such a pup!). If you are in the NY area this weekend I recommend checking out Heather Cantrell's A Study in Portraiture at VOLTA NY. For this "installment" of her project, Heather will be incorporating animal masks, mirrors and tons of plants and foliage. We brought the screen and pedestal with us but she has tons of props to choose from. A fun idea for engagement pictures, baby announcements, or just because..

OKL Event

Today One Kings Lane is hosting an Empiric event. It will be the debut of a dozen or so new images that we have collected over the past few months. I hope you like!

Collections of vintage dog portraits have been popping up in decor recently. This pre-Milo purchase has me thinking of starting my own.

New England on My Mind

This time of year any lobster eating, Crane's beach dwelling, Martha's Vineyard visiting, Bloody Mary loving Bostonian would be dreaming about putting some wind back in her sails. Myself included.


Summer has me fantasizing about the boats, the coolers, bike rides, the dress code and the fried seafood. Oh, the fried seafood...


When I go back each summer it's never how I remember of course. Its all in the cobwebs of my mind. The romance of memory. Chasing my youth. But a girl can still dream.....

Art Walk Weekend

What a week! I'm hoping by the end of the weekend things will be back to semi-normal at the store and we wont be living under tarps. It's a hot mess right now! This weekend will be more of the same but Saturday's Annual Culver City Art Walk motivated us to get a big group of new prints framed to display. Although we won't be open, our window will be fierce and the streets packed so check it out if you're in the 'hood.

Have a great weekend whatever you do!

Elie's

When I was just a new born peanut my {two year old} brother Ben realized quickly that things were not going to be the same around our house. He packed a bag and announced that he was "running away to Bensimable Animal Farms". Not having the authority to cross the street, they knew he wouldn't get far. The only thing that would have made it cuter is if this was the little suitcase under his arm. Bensons Animal Farm was a NH park that closed in the early 80's.
