i really really like the mix that tori & dean pulled together in their new hollywood home. i know so many people are anti tori but i’m not

i conducted an impromptu photo shoot this weekend & am so pleased with how it turned out. the frameless frame connects it all, even if it is blurry- i like it

of moody songs from my birthday lunch

early this week i ventured to the atlanta market & was so inspired
by these chelsea house silk painted panels

over sized clocks in a vintage style

hand painted paper mache boxes

and this gold sprayed lounge with velvet cushions

this toy reminds me of my childhood. i snapped it up for the girls right away & they love it. i was happy to see them put down their play cell phones and dial on this old fav. found at target

what a pretty little mirror for a pretty little price
it’s a must have

i have a thing for painted floors & stairs. ever since this picture* in domino, i’ve been searching houses to find the perfect client to convince they must have a painted stair. now seeing this picture of these painted floors, i’m not sure i can wait much longer. the pattern is bold and large and [...]

what’s great about domino (besides their cutting edge design) is that you always discover new sources. i stayed up waaaaay past my bedtime last night scanning through all the glorious linen and cotton fabric choices at purl. i found fabric to cover bar stools in & to make dresses for the girls for fall. fabulous

i am diggin’ this blog
- elements of style -

i have a client looking for office furniture that offer a little funk. this is the best piece yet! it’s available in canary yellow (m, it’s perfect for you!) and black (which is perfect for me!) - it has a touch latch system & is simply lovely with its modern lines & brocade cut out [...]

i am constantly in search of affordable kids cups & bowls that don’t scream KID! and don’t fall apart after ONE use and don’t cost as much as the (cool) FRENCH BULL collection. of course domino is the only mag to be able to lead me to my new love: the park collection @ target. [...]

you gotta love these great stick on flowers

we have a 1930s cape cod in alexandria, va. specifically in the del ray neighborhood. we looked in hollin hills before we decided on del ray. hollin hills appealed to both of us because it’s a private, wooded neighborhood adorned with modern homes. the issue was that anything in our price range needed tons of [...]

i love, love, love these child friendly with foam blades fans for the playroom & nursery. i so want one in yellow

a new york family gutted their ’20s-era co-op with central park views & hired eric clough, a young architectural designer, to design the rehab. secretly, eric turned the high-end renovation into a rube goldberg-like contraption. hiding messages, games, and treasures in the furniture and some of the walls. i truly love the panels conceiling a [...]

when i do visit australia, i am so going here

i always buy too many lemons. now i’m going to put them to work. find 27 house hold uses for citrus fruits here

i love the possibilities that this offers. just imagine

like, i am totally, like, in love with this totally rad branch

i so need these hand to do tattoos right now. i’ve got list after list of ‘to do’s and no time to finish anything. i thrive in chaos but not this kind. hate that my blogging has been shelved- i promise to kick it back into high gear this week

i would love all my clients to study this well balanced home & see that it really is the last dollars spent on the space that make it, not the first thousand. it is so important to finish the room

found this chair in a consignment store in budapest circa 2002. had it painted black & upholstered in a polyester blue (yes, polyester). every time i look at it, i smile. every room needs a little happy. {the jonathan adler pillow looks fabulous on it, don’t you think?}

i simply adore these blinds

i love this hack found via boing boing
