Yesterday I popped into Osborne and Little’s Munich showroom because I want to have a couple of poofs made and was looking for some fabric to cover them. Let me tell you folks, I died and went to my version of heaven. Their new collection is absolutely gorgeous. Its colorful, bold and sexy and my [...]
Folks, I’ve been waylaid by life, work and all that jazz. It all started with Spring vacation and took a steady and quick downward spin, dwindling off into dribs and drabs as of late. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy… I have! For instance, I’ve been redecorating my sister Sue’s small Florida apartment. She’s [...]
I’m still slugging away on the Color Unit (half way to completing the course and getting my degree). Right now I’m working on the psychology of colors and even though I don’t normally love red, I’ve run across so many gorgeous rooms that use red in one form or another that I just had to [...]

A few weeks ago I mentioned the website Spoonflower which, if you don’t know, is a website where you can design your own fabric. They’ll print it out for you on the organic fabric of your choice and mail it off. Not too long ago, designing and [...]
I recently became familiar with the artist Ian Davenport who’s mesmerizing paintings of dripping color are breathtaking. He’s an English artist who likes to use unusual surfaces like stainless steel or fiberboard in stead of canvas. He’s been known to pour, drop and even use a syringe to get his colors on to his surface [...]
I think I’ve mentioned before that Katie Ridder is one of my absolute favorite interior designers. I know I did a review of her recent book. In fact, I like her style so much that I can’t hold it against her (well not much anyway) that [...]
I know I haven’t posted in ages… It seems I have so many projects and things to do that all of my best intentions get waylaid. I do take tons of pictures and am absolutely planning to post about some of my latest accomplishments. The biggest one right now is my son’s room. I designed [...]
