Thank God it's Friday!

Today, after work, I am heading to our Trader Joe's to pick up some Blood Orange Soda. I don't know about you guys but it has been a long week at HORNE Headquarters. I have never been more ready to make one of our Behind the Bar creations than I am today. This month's drink is courtesy of Dia Rao and Patrick Haynes, the Sardinian Blood Orange Mojito.

A beach in Sardina: the drink's inspiraion

Dia & Patrick are dear friends of ours and had their drink featured over at Design*Sponge on our Behind the Bar column. Check it out for the full recipe and a nice start to your Friday evening.

Jieldé

I stumbled across this image while perusing some blogs yesterday. It is a great example of how two different styles of Jieldé lamps can be used in one room. I love how they used magazines to raise the height of the desk lamp!

It's been too long...

Hello Again!

We know it has been awhile since we have updated our blog but fear not we have many exciting things in store for HORNE. We have been busy finding the coolest gifts for the holiday season and working on a new addition to our website. Plus, not only did we move to a shiny new warehouse but Ryan and I also moved to a shiny new condo!

Design*Sponge - Behind the Bar w/ Brian Malarkey

This moth for our Behind the Bar column over at Design*Sponge Alissa and I were fortunate enough to feature the delicious Sage Sucker drink recipe from famed Top Chef, Brian Malarkey. Make sure to stop over and check it out.

Behind the Bar with Michelle & Joe

Last Friday, over at Design*Sponge, our friends, Michelle & Joe, contributed to our Behind the Bar column. Not only are they a super cool couple but they are also very talented. Through his words and her images you can almost taste their Eurasian Martini. You can view more photos and get the recipe here.

Here are a couple of portraits I took at their wedding last October. The wedding was held on Halloween and their reception was a masquerade ball!

I met Michelle at photography school many moons ago and I just had to share some of her work! These are two of my favorite images from her portfolio. To see more of her editorial, travel and commercial work check out her website here.

The Mad Hatter's Tea Party

Last night Ryan and I watched Alice in Wonderland, a film by Tim Burton. I loved it - Ryan got a lot of work done on his laptop. And while he wasn't paying attention, he did manage to notice the Royal Copenhagen inspired teapot during the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. I did some searching around the inter-web but I couldn't come up with any confirmation that actual Royal Copenhagen pieces were used in the film. Nonetheless, I am inspired to get the whole tea set and have an awesome party!
