The Real Slim Paley

Sometimes you find a blog that is so fantastic that you can't decide if you want to be the author, their best friend or pack your bags and show up on their doorstep and hope they don't call the police! I think I can unequivocally say that all three thoughts ran though my mind when I first read Slim Paley and saw her beautiful homes! The author is an interior designer who lives in Santa Barbara, CA with her husband and two boys. She has chosen to remain anonymous and I don't blame her. I did the same thing when I first started my blog because I wasn't sure how the designer I was working for at the time would respond. Just because someone wants to dip their toe into the blogging pool before jumping is no reason not to welcome them.

Slim Paley is a girl after my own heart who would rather curl up with a good book in her Sun Valley, Idaho house (above) than strap two sticks to her feet! She also has a wonderful sense of humor, one that is fun and self deprecating and doesn't make fun of others, except maybe her Pilates instructor! Once you see the photos of her, you'll see what I mean! Someone once asked me what I thought made a good blog and it's definitely one that makes you laugh while remaining professional. Speaking of professional, her travel photos could be considered professional! It's my dream to go on an African safari and I loved reading the account of her trip and seeing her fabulous photos. In a sea of design blogs, I think Slim Paley is going to quickly become one of your favorites. I know it's already one of mine! Enjoy!

How did you start this New Year?



On the first day of this new year my husband's daughter Nele and her husband Tom and their children came to visit us!

It is always so nice to have them all around us!





Nele, Tom, Alexa and Tristan.


And of course the New Year's presents could not be missed...





My proud husband with his new born grandson Tristan.




Me and our lovely Alexa.



Alexa loves eating cookies!




Alexa has to read her New Year's letter to my son Anthony because he is her godfather!
Not an easy job to do for her first time!



Anthony and Alexa.

And how did you spent your very first days of the new year?

Daydreaming about the passed year ...


...and thinking about what has to come in 2010?


I certainly did!

The First Day

 

NewYearsDay 113

The first day of the year, the rain is finally gone and the sun is out –  a perfect start to the decade, beautiful enough to make one forget economic woes and other bothersome worries.   

It seems almost that spring is around the corner instead of the lurking dead of a February winter.   The sun’s warmth and the lack of wind calls for open windows that welcome the fresh, crisp air inside.

 

 

 

NewYearsDay 111

A wayward branch of a potted orchid becomes a blooming flower in a majolica swan (Objects Lost and Found.)

 

 

 

NewYearsDay 001Though there was a rare, early snow, the roses continue to bloom…

 

 

 

NewYearsDay 171

….as if they too are defying the date.

 

 

 

NewYearsDay 037

And although the pink and white cyclamens prefer the frigid air,  their bright blooms fool the eye into thinking it must be some other day than the first one of the year.

 

 

NewYearsDay 029

The birds that winter here, like to linger and bathe in the same chilly water that the dogs will later claim in the summer heat.

 

 

 

NewYearsDay 182

Squirrels hide their acorns in pots where in the spring, forgotten, tiny oaks will emerge among the ivy. 

 

 

 

 

NewYearsDay 140

The shells are the promise of the coming summer – closer now that the winter solstice has passed and each day is slightly longer than the last.

 

 

 

NewYearsDay 101 

Later, as the light starts its inevitable march into dusk – a decision must be made.

 

 

 

NewYearsDay 045

Should you stay, in the open, drinking up the last warm rays before dark?

 

 

 

 

NewYearsDay 137

Or, better, here, sheltered from the cold night air that is sure to come, nestled up against welcoming arms and soft pillows, a perfect perch to bid goodbye to the first day.
