Thankfully all that sand and surf and what have you was indeed restorative, as we all hit the ground running this week with a swirl of school/work/household crazy... I still need to share some snaps of our magical trip (alas, now sadly a distant memory). In the meantime, I thought I'd share some fun work that Sam and I did for the May/June issue of D Home in the form of a little mantle design challenge action.

I have to say, it was pretty fun (if not slightly surreal) to be on the other side of the page this time around, as a couple of years ago I was helping create these kind of stories for the magazine, and now I get to make pretty spaces with one of my dearest friends that are featured in one.

Good stuff.
