Restaurant Week - Katsuya

Hubby and I are really enjoying our new loft. Something I have always done when we move, is get brand new linens. Might sound like a lot but we maybe move every 4 years, so it is well overdo when I get them. I always try to go for a new look. This time I went for soft romantic colors. It makes our sanctuary very inviting.

Romantic Tip: Create a romantic bedroom. Spare no expense and splurge on a new romantic-style bed, soft fluffy pillows, sheets, bedspread and curtains that ooze romance. Soft, sensual throw rugs and mood lighting will complete the transformation from dull to soothing and sexy.

Now, on to today's food. Before heading out, I snapped a beautiful sunset picture from our loft to share with you:

I am continuing Restaurant week coverage today. Our pick last night: Katsuya! one of
