Now I know it’s tradition to showcase “materials” in the interior design sense on our blog; however, tonight I just couldn’t avoid going the fashion/ jewelry route with my post and had to spread the word about these fabulous accessories by Dallas jewelry designer, Elizabeth Showers. These aren’t just your typical accessories either…they are like little pieces [...]

Sweet Home Chicago
{Wrigley Field} Are any of you familiar with Thrillist? I recently discovered it, and I am a big fan. I knew I’d like it when I saw the declaration, stated boldly on their homepage, “stop thumbing through crappy city guides and join Thrillist…the best of what’s new in your city, delivered once daily, always free.” Sure [...]

It Takes Two
{Decor Pad}
Oh the good old twin bed. Remind you of summer camp? Your poster covered, 7 year old bedroom you shared with your kid sister? 1950’s sitcoms where married couples slept in separate beds? Vanquish all the above from your memory! Twin beds are hot these days, and these pics will show you why! They [...]

I really enjoyed getting to know Kristen and her husband Matt, as [...]

This past Thursday evening I attended the Elle Decor cocktail party to kick off the start of the two day events for “Legends of La Cienega.” The gala took place at the Therien showroom on La Cienega where I met up with fellow blogger Christian May of Maison21 to enjoy an evening of wine, hors [...]

West Village NYC
The West Village in NYC is one of the most inspiring neighborhoods to walk around in and lucky for me, it’s something I get to do every day. The bakeries, restaurants, coffee shops, small independent theaters all have a unique, quaint village feel to them and the architecture is somewhat surreal. There are days I forget I’m in NYC. [...]
First of all, before I digress AGAIN about how much I love lucite/acrylic tables, I HAVE to share this Austin Craig’s List posting that my friend Katherine so kindly sent to me. I mean the title KILLS ME. Amazing. Someone in Austin please buy this table and report back on the buying experience because I bet it [...]
