Many of you have seen that the posts here at Color Outside the Lines have dropped significantly.
In my non-blog world, my schedule has become too hectic to fit in time to blog. Additionally, at every corner something seems to be falling apart, and for at least the short term, it is necessary for the blog to suffer from my lack of attention so that I can try to repair the things laying broken at my feet.
Posts will be sporatic until I gain some solid ground, and the tasks that lay on the to do side of my list are complete.
I ask that you all remember me fondly, and that you take some time to look back through older posts for inspiration and ideas. I'll be back soon, until then ... peace!

A Quick Peek
For those of you who have never been, New York City is broken up into several different districts, or areas. In the middle of Soho, outside of Tribeca, just outside of China Town, stands a beautiful 2-story building. Inside, is Aero, the design showroom of Thomas O'Brien.I was amazed to find a home decor store in the middle of Soho. I've known Soho for it's great shoe shopping, but never for decor ... that, I thought, was reserved to the upper East side. No matter, I asked my group if I could stop in for a quick peek. To my surprise, they were having a 75% off sale!
The whole store is filled with great furniture, nearing the edge of modern, but keeping that traditional edge so that it fits in almost any space. Beautiful vignettes of lamps and serving pieces, tabletop and art fill several cubes on the walls.Thomas O'Brien has always been a favorite of mine.
His knack for layering, and eagerness to incorporate as many styles as possible to build truly unique and contemporary interiors is uncanny, and I think, brilliant.
His spaces are livable, they're reachable. Looking at this picture, there are few who would say, I could never do that! His rooms are built around things that are loved (at least presumably), and they have a low lying sophistication that make them pleasing to the eye - but still like home.
