Design Star, Season 7, Episode 1 commenced two nights ago. I love a good reality show, you know i do. I love the ‘cast of characters’, the crazy adrenaline fits, the impossibly awesome but more likely totally appalling results that can happen. So two nights ago, I scrutinized everything – how they dressed, how… Read More …
q Marcus Hay and Elle Decor UK, you have just made my day. Yes, this is old, like a year old, but im slammed and saw this yesterday again for the first time in a while and decided that i wanted to, nay, was compelled to share it again. Because the amount of personality in… Read More …
YES!!! I’m proud to announce that I scored a spot on the front of the HGTV magazine this month: They don’t really put people on the cover as the ‘cover shot’, so to get to be a person on the cover means they like me. And i like them, so that works out to be… Read More …
I’ve been sick as a sick dog in a sick dog hospital. i’ll fill you in later, although i do kinda still want your pity now. But i’m back-ish. Nothing that watching 5 episodes of Game of thrones, 1 EFFING TERRIBLE episode of the bachelorette (i mean, she is as boring as a paper… Read More …
It’s like shopping for a well-dressed, friendly, environmentally conscious UNICORN that makes a mean stir fry and washes your car for you. They practically don’t exist. Super elusive, expensive and annoying to buy. But we need them to conquer our gallery wall fantasies and our family photo sharing dreams. I can’t wait to make… Read More …
We all get stuck on (or off) color palettes and i’m no exception. I love bright saturated colors, blues, greens, whites, hot pinks, yadda yadda. But for the show i had to come up with color palettes each week that were different and when the show was doing two looks then i had to do… Read More …
Here’s the deal: its starting to not make sense. Yes. i’ll keep all the Dominos. And probably the Elle Decor’s. But most of me wants to go through all the Martha’s, Gourmets, Bon Appetits, Blueprints, Canaidan house and homes, ReadyMade, Dwell, House Beautiful, W, Cookie’s etc and pull out every picture that i like and… Read More …
Rebecca, my ex- assistant from SFAS is on White Room Challenge tonight so you have to watch. Not sure if you guys have been tuning into it but its entertaining, if not at times anxiety inducing. Watching creative people work under serious parameters is both tortuous and fascinating. The entire time i think ‘what would… Read More …
Hey, girl. Wanna sample some low VOC paint swatches with me while we drink crystal light and i play Twinkle Twinkle on my ukelele? What. He’s from Canada so he really appreciates the sophisticated yet understated power of this multi-toned neutral. It’s nuanced. It’s both masculine and feminine. It’s thought provoking, intellectual and yet totally simple…. Read More …
The say that hair stylist and construction workers have the most ‘job satisfaction’ because every single day they start something new and by the end of the day they see a lot of progress, if not finish the project and they never take their job home with them….Unless they are a hair stylist in west… Read More …
We all know I love miniatures, so it stands to reason that I would love miniature human beings, otherwise known as ‘babies’ or ‘children’. They are kinda on the brain right now for a couple of reasons: I’m doing a nursery in venice for a not even born little dude of some pretty awesome and… Read More …
It’s kinda like The Hunger Games, except there’s not a team doing your makeup and there aren’t hallucination wasps…at least there wasn’t my year. But someone else is controlling all the stakes, every day is a new challenge, you are totally on your own, in a foreign situation, competeing without your usual tools, resources, helpers….therapists…… Read More …
