The London Flat

I have been working on a London flat and am contemplating going with a deep charcoal wall. A big step considering the amount of light that a dark wall like this will absorb. Luckily the flat is blessed with gorgeous light!

As the living room stands now. (A bit of a mess)

The living room with the potential wall color and furnishings super imposed.

Latest Project

This is a shot of the entry of the latest project that I worked on. The floors were the first thing selected and I'm so happy with how they turned out!

Making the Move...

I have been neglecting my blog for the last month as I prepare to spend the summer in London designing a new flat and finding fabulous design ideas to bring back to the U.S.! I hope to have some extra time to blog about all of these great new finds too! Stay tuned in July.

Favorite New Storefront

The new Miu Miu store at South Coast Plaza has a daring front facade that I am in love with mostly because of the lime green color. It really makes this store standout in the mall.

VOTE FOR STARLIGHT HOME

My latest project Starlight Home has an amazing garden full of wonderful succulents designed by Bridget Skinner. We have entered it in Roger's Gardens California Friendly Garden Contest and the voting has begun! Click here to VOTE

Look for The Schnieders, Newport Beach house and these photos:

I heart Miette!

There are 2 things in life that I love sweets and wallpaper. It sounds like an odd combination, but Miette, my favorite confectioner, has taken their love of Osborne and Little, my favorite wall covering manufacturer, and designed cookies after the Osborne and Little wallpaper that decorates their shop in the Ferry Building in San Francisco! You can even order them online here. Not only are Miette's creations beautiful but they are delicious. Usually when pastries look this good, they don't taste that good, but Miette has found a way to combine both great looks and great taste!

Finding Yourself

It has been ages since I have posted on my own personal blog as I have been busy finishing up some exciting projects. One is a new company website that I will be unveiling in early May. In the meantime, I still want to bring my viewers some of the fun finds that I spot.
The latest is an idea dreamt up by a team of amazing graphic designers.
The Map Envelope utilizing the now so familiar Google Maps. These give the perfect added touch to a save the date or an average business correspondence letter.

IKEA Winner

IKEA seems to have a lot of new kitchen products right now. I bought these great bottles for $2.99 each. They worked out great for serving vodka at my Winter Olympics theme party last weekend. The more of these that you have the better they look together and at $2.99 you can collect as many as you want!

eBay Obsession for the month

My latest eBay obsession is finding vintage board games to style the lower level of my coffee table with. This post on Apartment Therapy from last week details how to find some great board games currently in production.
