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 [...]
Things that catch my eye right now are…
A pair of vintage ottoman inspired electric lanterns and this glamorous coffee table, both from One Kings Lane vintage market.
I guess I’m still craving luxury and comfort because the bed from Gilt is call my name.
Lastly, these two dreamlike [...]
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’ll get straight to the point. I found this fabulous resource for custom ON DEMAND printed fabrics. That means first of all, you have the ability to upload some images (should you happen to be a really talented artist or hell, even if you’re not – imperfection is charming, too) then Spoonflower will print them [...]
Amy Lau is one of those designers who interiors manage to be funky, cutting edge and happy all at the same time. You would think that the three don’t go together but you’d be wrong. She’s got a new book out called Expressive Modern: The Interiors of Amy Lau that no designista’s bibliotecha should be [...]
Today’s Designer Spotlight is an interview with Marica Zia Priven who’s one half of the dynamic lighting design team Zia Priven. Her husband Paul, makes up the other half. Their style is classically modern mixed with a generous helping of Hollywood Glam (they’re both California kids, after all).
They’ve attracted the attention of world [...]
