"Surrender to the power of Chartreuse"

He discovered it at the Jonathan Adler Boutique in Soho, NY.

Thanks Steve!

An Art-Filled Afternoon

Last Friday, we took an afternoon "creative recharge" trip over to University Circle for the much anticipated Gauguin Exhibit at The Cleveland Museum of Art. A beautiful (and educational) exhibit, "Paul Gauguin: Paris 1889" recreates the exhibition that Gauguin himself organized for the 1889 Exposition Universelle. We strolled leisurely, viewing and learning the works of Gauguin and his fellow artists of the time. We were most intrigued by the stories behind the woman in the waves...visit the exhibit and be sure to grab a cell phone-like audio guide to learn more about this acclaimed work. Be sure to reserve a bit of extra time to express your own artistic talents on the way out; you're never to old to color!

Monday Shoot

This past week we had the opportunity to spend our morning with a fun photo shoot at the studio of Lauren Parsells. As part of an upcoming project, the five children photographed were full of energy and not the least bit camera shy. They entertained us (and the camera) with plenty of smiles, singing and creative poses. Thank you to Lauren for some great shots...we hope to share them soon!

Happy 4 years Michelle!

As of August 1st, I have had the privilege of working side-by-side with a very talented, stylish and creative designer, Miss Michelle Zelasko. Happy Anniversary.

Michelle, thanks for bringing such passion and creative spirit to the "Chartreuse Table."
