I love receiving feedback from my readers. Your questions and comments are always welcomed! I try my very best to respond to each and every one of you. Blogging is a more enriching experience when it creates a dialogue.
Yesterday I had a reader request to see more of the first home featured in my post. Wish granted!  This glamorous and modern gem was designed by L.A. designer David Hicks. (not to be confused with David Hicks, the English design maven from the 1950's - 1970's) Article + images: here

I'm especially appreciating the architecturally detailed doors in his design!

Inspired - Ruthie Sommers

There's no doubt that Ruthie Sommers is one of my favorite designers, so when fresh, new images of her work pop up in a magazine I'm a happy girl. Here's a recent article in Veranda magazine of Ruthie's advice on being a decorator/interior designer. Her design details are feminine, unexpected, colorful and perfectly executed!

Exercise your right + Inspiration

It still blows my mind that the 19th Amendment wasn't enacted until 1920! I consider my right to vote a privilege. Whatever your party affiliation, make sure to rock your vote today!! (that goes for the guys too) 

"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex."

I also feel fortunate to be a woman running my own growing design business! Here are a few design icons in their creative spaces who I admire for their strong business sense, forward thinking, creative ideas and individualism!! 

Tory Burch ( I LOVE her office)

Windsor Smith

Aerin Lauder

Frances Elkins

Jenna Lyons

Estee Lauder and an interesting article about her beginnings!

Kelly for Groundworks + more...

I'm loving Kelly Wearstler's refined fabric collaboration for Lee Jofa's Groundworks collection. Charcoals, blacks and cream tones paired with bright shades are sitting well with me right now! A couple of my girl friend's and I are thinking of heading to Miami for a getaway this Fall. (the plus side to using my Amex too much - free miles) I vote that we stay at the Miami-Viceroy. I'll at least grab a drink there to take in the amazing design details! I've been a fan of Kelly's work since I was in grad school, that was about 12 years ago. (I hate to date myself) The entire design hits on so many details that I'm currently adoring! See my mentions below! I love that Kelly marches to the beat of her own drum, her designs and fabrics feel more artist and dynamic then anything else.

When I move I think I need to cover something in the charcoal and cream faux bois print (top pillow above)

LOVE: Limed wood paired with aqua and deep cobalt

Architectural outdoor spaces

Graphic chairs, tufting and limey-yellow ( a color predicted to trend next winter)

Rope details and small club chairs - working on a nursery with rope details right now!

Oversized lamps and tufting! (Did I mention tufting ? )

And as ALWAYS, fret work..I'm always searching for the next best fretwork design.

Custom Chandeliers and citrus yellow

Check out

Celerie Kemble's new rug line for Meridia Meridian. I've long been a fan of Celerie's dynamic work, and even better, she was super friendly when I met her! The colors above look so vivid, these rugs would surely be the impetus for a great design concept! 

Catalyst is available in five amazing colors in all!
