Paper Portraits
These paper portraits pepper the streets surrounding our home and McCarren Park. 
I wish I knew who the artist was so I could thank them for their work.

My Favorite Corner
I always have little nooks and niches in my home that I particularly love and find myself gazing at while I should be working. Right now, this is my favorite corner of our home.
My favorite corner consists of a book shelf above stocked with classics like Tom Robbins, Anais Nin, David Sedaris, Oscar Wild and Mad Libs. An over-sized basket of my mom's that has pillows and blankets for movie-watching. A killer mid-century orange chair that is perfect for reading. And on the wall I hung a doily and hankerchief from the family and a doe and baby deer wall plaque. 
What is in your favorite corner? Send in photos of the favorite spot in YOUR nest to meg@EnderbyNest.com. I will post the photos and we will vote on the coolest corner. The winner of the coolest corner will get a free gift from Enderby.

Words from Gloria Steinem.
"Any woman who chooses to behave like a full human being should be warned that the armies of the status quo will treat her as something of a dirty joke. That's their natural and first weapon. She will need her sisterhood."
"A woman reading Playboy feels a little like a Jew reading a Nazi manual."
"I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career."
"Unless we include a job as part of every citizen's right to autonomy and personal fulfillment, women will continue to be vulnerable to someone else's idea of what need is."
Thank you, to this incredible woman who has fought for equal rights, led the feminist movement, and shown women to create choices for ourselves. I have previously posted about her here. Learn more about Steinem's work this and this.

Scenes From a Marriage
Scenes of a Marriage is the incredible creation of Ingmar Bergman starring Liv Ullman and Erland Josephson. The Swedish mini-series that aired in 1974 intimately and honestly observes and explores a marriage over the course of several years.
Exquisitely shot, amazingly acted, as clean as Swedish design and as messy as love can get, this is one of my favorite cinematic pieces.

Happy Cinco de Mayo
Our Cinco de Mayo episode of Decor It Yourself is on the front page of YouTube today. Look at our Gracie shine.
Then tonight we celebrate Mexican's Independence with a killer Olde Ghost show. My rockstar husband shall be shredding his guitar and I will be watching while enjoying cervezas with a friend. As you can see with the flier below, this band is no joke. 
Whatever YOUR plans, have fun!
