the new carver

Hey everyone! I am so sorry I have not posted in ages but I have lots of exciting stuff to catch up on. First and most important  I am involved in this amazing organization called The Skid Row Housing Trust which provides affordable housing and a second chance to the homeless people of Los Angeles. I strongly believe that the support of healthy surroundings adds so much to these peoples life and really lends them the opportunity for a fresh beginning. The Trust is launching there newest housing development called New Carver Apartments as well as celebrating the 20th anniversary of the organization tomorrow night. I am in EXTREMELY good company as one of the four designers who was asked to design a room for one of the future tenants and the Carver Apartments. The other designers include: The amazing Estee Stanley (just launched her website and its incredible you will be blown away), Ruthie Sommers who we all know and love, and Molly Luetkemeyer of mdesign who has been on House Beautiful's list of Top Designers in America four years running. I am so thankful for this opportunity and encourage all of you to check out the site and perhaps come to the event tomorrow night and support this great cause!

...canadian house and home

I just picked up a copy of Canadian House and Home. (which I have never read before) I had an email from one of the editors that one of the photos on my website was going to be featured in the July issue of "Rooms the Work".. This is always very exciting for me but, what I am the most excited about is what a great magazine Canadian House and Home is!  I couldn't find the magazine at my usual newsstands but Barnes and  Noble does carry it and I am now a new subscriber. I encourage you to check out the website  which previews upcoming issues and you are also able to subscribe there. 

thats the story of the hurricane

I want these hurricane candles for my next dinner party. I think these would also be gorgeous as vases for flowers although I suppose they might rust. 

have a great weekend!

Some drawings from the Hugo Guinness most recent show at John Derian.

i wanna go here!

You may have seen JK Capri mentioned in some of my past posts. I have never been to the J.K. but the website has been inspiring me consistently since I discovered it nearly 3 years ago. I was visiting the website today and noticed they have added some new photos so I thought I would post them.

not a bad view from the pool.

Or the room...

The small unexpected accents of red on the lamp and on the pillow really make this shot interesting.

Check out the placement of the coordinating stripes on the sofa pillows and the bed pillows.. very clever.

my first entry

Hello Friends,

I have wanted to do this for a while now, but i have a bit of stage fright.  I am really excited to be here.  My denial about Domino Magazine shutting down has subsided, and i think it's time to try and fill a portion of that void.  Stay tuned for more to come!
