Hung up

Lately, I have talked a lot about the framing of art and my process for picking the perfect frame. In addition to the framing, the hanging of the art is equally important.  One important aspect is finding the right height: don’t forget that not everyone is the same height.  So some people actually like their […]

Change

Change is good.   It’s often scary – but in this case it’s just more exciting! After having my bedroom a dark, dark blue for over five years, I was ready for a change. Along with changing the paint color, I decided that I was ready for a new bed as well.  I loved my […]

Nursery design

Spring is really in the air here in San Francisco. Last week we had quite the heat wave: several consecutive 80 degree days – which is quite the rarity for us here! We are loving this project that we are working on for a client’s nursery. The client’s only requests: (a) No pink or blue […]

Organized chaos

Light show

The installation is up until 2015.   It is […]

Photo shoot

  Here are some behind-the-scenes glimpses from a photo shoot of a recently completed modern kitchen.   The styling was rather simple, with branches and succulents.  Love the pops of fresh green colors from the limes and watermelon. Here is a peek of the bar from the photo shoot too.     Have a great weekend!  

Roman shades

A few weeks ago I shared a Madeline Weinrib fabric that I was using for roman shades. I love the way that they tuned out – mounted on our client’s French doors out to her beautiful garden!

Ageing

I recently celebrated a birthday.  I hope that I am like a good bottle of wine, ever improving with time!  You know you are starting to get older when you need a pair of reading glasses while working on the computer or reading a book.   Have you seen some of the really bad looking readers […]

Acorn squash salad

Always looking for new easy things to make in the kitchen. This couldn’t be any easier and the presentation really impresses. This dinner was for 4 people- so I quartered an acorn squash and roasted it for about 45 minutes with a drizzle of olive oil.  I let the squash cool a bit.  In a […]
