My First Tree


This is my first Christmas tree (while living on my own).
I'm a sucker for vintage and homemade ornaments.


Happy Holidays Everyone!

    Congrats; a first tree is always a milestone! Looks great.
    You're lucky over in the US -- Xmas trees go on sale much earlier than over here. Most people in Germany don't put theirs up till 5-7 days before Xmas; way too late for enjoying the whole pre-Xmas ambiance, I say.
    Take care,
    Michael

The Whitby Hotel

My love for hotels started when I was 11.   My family moved overseas and I was lucky enough to stay at some amazing hotels in London, Oman and Dubai.    Recently I discovered Firmadel Hotels on Instagram (@firmdale_hotels) and I have since become OBSESSED.  They have hotels in New York and London and today I want to share photos of one of their New York Locations.  The Whitby Hotel.   Located at: 18 W 56th Street New York, NY 10019                                                                   exterior  Below are photos of Lobby:  The lobby is light and bring with soaring glass windows and striking artwork.                                       ...

Silkeborg - Ikea turkish rug

Incase you don't already know, Ikea has a great new (limited) rug collection out!  Its called Silkeborg and you won't find it on their website (at least in the US). Silkeborg rugs are made from vintage Turkish rugs that have been cut up (to save the good parts), dyed, shaved down and then sewn back together to form a one of a kind piece!  I encourage you to go check them out!  The quality is fantastic and prices are untouchable!  Below is a photo of the display I did the for Pittsburgh store. And one of the little guys I picked up for under my kitchen sink. Let me know what you think after you've seen them in person!   -Greg      style="display:block"      data-ad-format="fluid"      data-ad-layout="text-only"      data-ad-layout-key="-gw-1+1v-3d-12"      data-ad-client="ca-pub-4537218573050932"      data-ad-slot="71...

our new house

On January 16th, 2018 Elliott and I became homeowners!   After 10 years in our condo it was time... we wanted more space, a yard and no HOA.   We were looking  for years but nothing was right.  A friend of mine made us aware that this house had a for-sale-by-owner sign and in the process found out that my dads co-worker was the owner... lucky for us he recently acquired it with the purchase of a different house (in order to get the house he wanted this house he had to purchase this house as part of the deal) and he wanted nothing to do with this one so we jumped at it!  as is. with no inspection. eek!   The house was built in 1910 and was vacant for 7 years before we got it.  Ive been wanting to document this process all along (which i do on instagram @: ggpiccini) but life happens and i get busy... We had to get our condo ready to hit the market (two mortgages is no fun), which we did (and it sold in 3 days!) and we had to get th...
