The Southern "Downton Abbey"

 
I recently read this article about Blackberry Farms from Town & Country and loved the photos, I just had to post. Blackberry Farms is a luxury resort in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains of eastern Tennessee. Unfortunately, I have not visited this spectacular place, but my parents have and they said it was truly amazing. Not only is the scenery to die for.. like a Southern "Downton Abbey", but the chef is phenomenal and there are 2 different cookbooks dedicated to Blackberry Farms cuisine.

Apt in Brooklyn

I stumbled upon this post via twitter and Harper's Bazaar. I am now obsessed with Athena Calderone. She is playful, daring and yet refined in her design. The way she uses color is refreshing and I so enjoyed Harper Bazaar's write up on her. These photos are of her families apartment in Brooklyn's Dumbo neighborhood, overlooking the East River.
