Welcome back everyone! How was your weekend? Anything wonderful happen to you?? For me, I had a lovely weekend! There’s so much going on with both MadeByGirl & Cocoa & Hearts. I’ve been painting & shooting paintings as well as re-designing my main entire site, MadeByGirl – (probably blog too)! Then of course there’s my personal life. . . . found a new church here in NYC that suits us both a bit more (I hope), so we shall see what happens. So, this Monday morning I wanted to share a super cool store called Zinc Door. The shop is run by two talented ladies, Wendy Rossiter Estes & Tiffany Grayce Harris. These ladies created the popular shop, Layla Grayce where they highlight their passion for traditional, European, cottage and coastal decor. This time around their shop Zinc Door brings us classics with an updated edge. . . which is totally my style! In fact, if I had money to burn, I’d furnish my entire place with Zinc Door. -images via zinc door
