WEEKEND PHOTO IN NEW YORK!

September 10, 2011
  • Share

Photo by Coco of COCOCOZY

Ornamental cabbage or kale in the flower district in New York City

Took this photo in the flower district in New York last month. Don’t know what type of flowers these are but I loved them.  To me they look like cabbage leaves…but I’m sure I’m wrong.  Right?

Any one of you garden gurus know what these are?  If you know…please comment below.

Hope you have fun plans for this weekend.  I had a nice dinner last night at a new hotel in Los Angeles.  Will tell you scoop later.  Have an art event tonight and need to go try to get my dress for the Emmy Awards tailored!  The Emmy Awards are next weekend.  Did I mention I am going?!?  Woohoo!!!  Debating between two dresses and need to get the second one done before deciding.

Anyhooooo….good weekend to you!

Happy Saturday!

    Looks like some kind of cabbage to me, cabbage can be very ornamental, maybe it’s a pale version of kale 🙂

    I also vote for some variety of ornamental cabbage. Love to mix veggies with flowers though!

    It’s ornamental kale. Don’t know about over there, but here in Australia it’s quite commonly used in floral arrangements.

    Hi
    My name is Dale and I live in Australia.
    We have plants very similar to this one is various colours, we call them Ornamental Cabbage. They grow medium size with the shape of a cabbage minus the vegie inside.

    I actually have the colour you love growing. It was in a flower arrangement that I purchased for My Mum & Dad’s graveside.

    Don’t know what they are, but they would make a REALLY fantastic centerpiece!

    Too bad the Emmy’s are so soon – I would offer to make you some bling! 🙂

A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not A soft touch of pink, layered into the space. Not overpowering, just enough to warm everything up, walls, upholstery, even the smallest details.
It shifts the mood completely. Calmer, softer, and a little more lived in.
Save this if you’re leaning toward softer, warmer spaces. 🌸

What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so What makes the Saint-Martin Apartment in Paris so hard to look away from is the deliberate clash Sophie Dries @sophiedries_ created and didn’t try to resolve.
The bones of the apartment are pure Haussmann: ornate cornicing, carved boiserie, a marble fireplace with a gilded mirror. Everything a 19th-century Parisian apartment should be. Then she placed a near-black dining table with brass-legged stools into the middle of it. A raw concrete-look bathroom behind the grandeur. Dark, sculptural objects on surfaces that were built for delicate things.
It works because she didn’t try to blend the two, she let them sit in contrast. The apartment feels lived-in and specific because of it.
→ Save this if you’re mixing old architecture with contemporary furniture.

From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the pap From classic to modern, rustic to minimal, the paper lantern just fits. It softens the room, diffuses the light, and rounds out even the sharpest architectural edges without demanding any attention. 🏮
Are you into paper lanterns, or do you prefer a more structured statement light? 🧐

Streets of #Paris. 📍 Rue de Castiglione — Laid ouStreets of #Paris. 📍
Rue de Castiglione — Laid out under Napoleon in the early 1800s, this neoclassical street connects Place Vendôme to the Tuileries Garden in one clean, symmetrical line.
Place de Furstenberg — A tucked-away square in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that was once home to the painter Eugène Delacroix, and still feels like little has changed.
Les Antiquaires on Rue du Bac — A street with centuries of history, now best known for its cluster of antique dealers trading in furniture, paintings, and curiosities and home to @les_antiquaires_paris bistro which is an easy spot to grab a bite near the Seine.
Musée du Louvre — Built as a medieval fortress in the 12th century, it became a royal palace, then the world’s most visited museum, home to the Mona Lisa and tens of thousands of other works.
Église Saint-Sulpice — Paris’s second-largest church, with a gnomon installed inside to track the sun’s position and help calculate the liturgical calendar.
Les Deux Magots — The Saint-Germain café where Simone de Beauvoir, Sartre, and Hemingway once gathered, and a lasting symbol of Paris’s literary culture.
Place Vendôme — Commissioned under Louis XIV, this octagonal square is anchored by the Vendôme Column, cast from cannons captured at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Shops, people, and buildings that make you stop for a second and look up. Every corner feels different. Old, detailed, and full of life. Sometimes this is the best part. Just being here. ❤️

Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment Nour Arida’s (@nouraridaofficial) Paris apartment was designed to feel like a little piece of Beirut — a pied-à-terre that keeps her connected to Lebanon while living in France.
Architect Carl Gerges @carlgergesarchitects built the whole interior around warmth and softness: a caramel sofa, a pink kitchen, milky whites throughout. Nothing sharp, nothing cold. The palette reads as indulgent without trying. It’s the kind of space that feels like it was chosen for comfort first and aesthetics second, even though both are clearly considered.
What’s easy to miss is the restraint underneath it all. The softness works because it’s disciplined. Every piece earns its place in the same tonal story.
→ Save this if you’re building a warm, tonal interior from scratch.
