Welcome to the Elsie Green Podcast where our host Andie and her guests discuss design, travel, fashion, beauty and other beautiful things in life.
In episode 4, Laurie and Andie talk about finding inspiration while traveling.
Listen to the full episode here.
All the Elsie Green girls (and boys) love to travel near and far. And many of our best ideas for the shop, for our photography or for our own lives have come from some of that travel. Read on for links and sources from the episode.
If you are looking for something new to do in NYC, visit The Noguchi Museum, take a walk in Domino Park, then have lunch at Rolo's. Order the Crispy Potatoes.

Laurie's coffee machine is a reproduction of a 1930s Illy espresso maker that runs on pods. It's the perfect blend of form and function. Find it here.

Andie's Vodka Pasta Recipe can be found here.
Visit the Newport Mansions to soak up some inspiration. Do not miss the staff quarters - they're my favorite.
Click here for our Reclaimed Wood Kitchen Island and Reclaimed Wood China Cabinet inspired by the staff kitchen in one of the mansions.
Click here for our Reclaimed Wood Moroccan Daybed inspired by the loungers at El Fenn.
Laurie's little Leica D-Lux point and shoot is a great portable camera that is smaller and lighter than a DSLR and takes better photos than the iPhone (sorry Apple). The National Camera Exchange is a good source to find a high quality camera at a good price.
The hardware store in Marseille we mention is Maison Empereur. The rental can be found here. The paint color is BM Bittersweet Chocolate.
Laurie's favorite media sources for inspiration
