Take Two and Taking in New York City…

It has been a busy few weeks around here! Today I am sharing over on design POST Interiors blog. The talented, and adorable Beth, invited me to join her Take Two series…so stop by and visit here to read a few fun facts about me.

 

 

 

In my last post, I shared a beautiful shot of NYC taken by giveaway sponsor Kaitlin Rebesco. It was exciting to know that I would soon be walking and exploring those actual streets! Here are a few of my own photos of this amazing city.

 

 

 

One day we walked about 10 miles…not kidding!…exploring some of the fabulous neighborhoods and sites. A definite highlight was The High Line…

 

 

 

 

 

 

The High Line is a public park built on an historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side.  The art installations and city views are so cool…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another day, we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. Love the architecture and the city views…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, no trip to NYC would be complete with out walking through Central Park…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love fall…and the colors of the park did not disappoint! Now time to start all of my Christmas décor…not sure I am ready just yet! I may need a little more time to enjoy the current season before rushing into the next.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the winner is….
