Frank Lloyd Wright Collection Moves to NYC

Before I get in to fall tips, I found some interesting moving news this week that I wanted to share.  We are always talking about people moving, but one article that caught my attention this week is the moving of Frank Lloyd Wright’s archetectural drawings.  I have always been an admirer of his work, having toured several of his homes and a few of his buildings.    His collection of drawings will be shipped from Wisconsin and Arizona to New York city and will be part of a display at MoMa.  While I’m not elated that his work is leaving AZ, I guess that gives me one more reason to get back to the big apple!

Whenever I think of moving to New York, I think of living in small spaces! This is the time of year that young adults are starting school and moving in with roommates, which often means moving in to a smaller place.  Whether you are moving to the big city or just to a smaller place, here are some helpful tips from Apartment Therapy on keeping your design style when downsizing your kitchen.  I love some of the space-saving pieces they share in this post, especially the collapsible cheese grater.

I’ll be honest, living in sunny Arizona I forget fall is about to begin until I start seeing Halloween costumes at the store!
