Hallways

Loving these three hallways.  It's a telling sign that I don't stick with any one style given that by pure chance these three came out of three different style sections in the housetohome gallery.

Daphne Verley

Wishing you a great start to the week with the stunning work of Daphne Verley!  I love the striped vessels and the lovely ocean rocks she has recreated.  Via elements of style.

Cosmos Pleasure

Happy Sunday!  Just took a stroll to the Studio City Farmers Market.    I had Leo with me so we had to stick to doing a loop around the outskirts.  I did sneak in and buy this lovely bunch of cosmos that is now prettying up the shop.   It reminds of long road trips as it seems to thrive along roadsides.

Living Bold

Featured in The Guardian, this London terrace house is the home of Tamara Salman who has worked as a Creative Director at Liberty and Prada.  It is an eccentric blend of color, interesting objects and bold combinations.

The red in the entrance hall is fabulous.  She calls it the color of a peeled red onion and it was created by putting a dark red stain over yellow.

Friday's Fabulous Woman: Diane von Furstenburg

Strong, creative and very much her own person, Diane von Furstenburg made her stamp on the fashion world with the introduction of the wrap dress in 1974.   Over 30 years later she heads a fashion empire full of pattern and color which is my personal weakness.  I never wear dresses but if I was going to, hers would be the ones I would dream of wearing.

There is an interesting historical look at her professional life on her site under the title: Journey of a Dress .   This is also the title of a show at the Pace Gallery in Beijing which I would love to see -- maybe it will come to LA.

The pictures below are from the DVF site and the Pace Gallery.  The clothing is the Spring 2011 collection and the scarf is one of the fabulous scarves in the DVF line.

Behind the Scenes

I am adding some new pillows to the mix so have been taking lots of photographs.  Here are a few of the work in progress.
