All of this week our exclusive designer Lela Rose will be taking over the Browns Bride blog…

“I love to bike through the green market on my way to work. The multitude of colors, fresh vegetables, and bustling market can be so inspiring and usually dictates what I am going to cook for the next few days.”

“I get to the office, answer some emails, and then get started on what I like to call “arts and crafts” day camp. I feel so lucky to get to work with such amazing fabrics, hand crafted details, and doing something I love. We stop for lunch about 12:30pm and usually eat out on our terrace as a group. Eating together is so much more refreshing than web surfing at your desk. My day continues with more “arts & crafts”, meetings, and correspondence. Then it is time to pack up the vegetable bounty and head home to cook dinner with the family”

“We eat dinner at home about 4-5 nights a week and I am always cooking. We end up having friends over quite often and always have something fun going on in the house (lots of card games and the occasional dance party on the tables). We try to get the kids in bed by 8:30pm on school nights and the adults stay until about 10:30pm when I must get to bed to start it all over again.”
