Inspiration: Ina Garten

Last year a major coup was convincing Alvaro that we needed to get DVR. The sole reason is so that I can watch Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa. It's a cooking show, and I do not cook. Well, I can, but I don't do it for fun, and because Alvaro is such a good cook, I have no real need to do so. When I do cook, I never use a recipe. So why the heck do I watch Ina Garten?
Because she's so lovely! First, she appears to eat what she cooks, which shows that she is a real person and has an appetite for life. Second, she's so cute! Third, she is so elegant, yet casual with impeccable taste. 

I love her tablescapes, her house, her garden, and her view of her town. She cooks and designs very much in a geographic-inspired way - she's the epitome of all that's good about her region.
