Pastel Ribbons

Perfect colors for spring. Dreamy for a kid's room or a cluster of 5 white one's all hung at different lengths as an art installation. By the awesomely talented Japanese Design Studio Monochro.

White Out

Dreamy, chalky and matte.

Red, White and Blue-tiful

Land Rich in Brooklyn is all about the love of nature and design. They create a new collection each quarter and I can not tell you how much I loved the first collection... and now Dreamcatchers! All made from vintage fabrics. The details and colors are simple and very beautiful. I would love one next to my bed.. or anywhere in the house.

The are available in small and large and come in a few colors, or you can have them custom made in colors you want.

I can not wait to see what is next!

The Chairs...

Set of 6 Dining Room chairs from Amherst house given to me by mom. For almost a year I believed her when she told me that I would have to have them Professionally done. Well... This weekend I started inspecting them and that is not the case! They are Queen Anne and are Cherry. I am trying to figure out how to really make them work into my space now. I am not 100% I want them, maybe I'll sell them and get a style that might suit me better... but I think I can make it happen. So I went and checked out some Fabrics today. I think I need a pattern that is contemporary, but will fit in and not make them look out of place. I am really trying not to strip and ruin them. I would like the varnish to be more dull... but we will see.
Super simple.. A little brown, totally neutral. Would go with any style and any table. Think it might be too safe!

I love this one. I think it would update the chairs and bring them into the present. But the brown is really brown and might not work with the cherry. I think I need to bring in a fabric that will complement the wood not make it stand out more.

Clean, simple, dark, white, modern feel. could be a front runner.
I really like this one.. It has a darker brown and some great colors. Goes well with a moorish theme.
Simply Orange. I have a lot of orange accessories. I might be moving away from orange and onto a saffron.
CHocolate brown.. maybe to much, I think I would get sick of this fast.. but I like the retro feel. Just not in my home.

Easter Brunch: Bottega Louie

Easter Brunch at Bottega Louie with Britt. I then did some painting outside... only to have it rain all night.

Had an Earthquake which is always a little disorientating. Excited for Rosebowl next weekend!

new designs in progress

Inspired by the ranunculus picked up last week at farmer's market. I have been working on an all over design for textiles. The color is different shades of vermillion.
