Thank you InStyle Magazine

Very happy to be quoted in the September 2011 Issue of Instyle Magazine. There is a feature on inexpensive pieces that have high impact. I chose this desk from Cost Plus World Market, just simply add some cool hardware for a custom look!

Sherman Oaks Office

Just uploaded some new pics of a custom home office I designed for my client in the Valley. The room was bare with no shelves and when I first saw it it only had a white desk against the wall. I worked with my client to create 2 separate work areas with lots of storage. The custom bookshelf came out amazing and I know my clients are super happy and enjoying all the storage they now have.

Sneak Peek Venice Project

For the last year and half I have been designing a new home project in Venice. The home was originally a 4 unit building that was redesigned with 3 bedrooms and 4 baths, open floor plan with a pool and jacuzzi. I worked with my client to pick out tile, design the bathrooms and kitchen, shopped and scoured vintage furniture shops, pulled fabrics and worked on the open space plan for the house. I am happy to say that yesterday we had a great magazine shoot day and above is a sneak peek shot from the little girls bedroom. (you can see the photo equipment in the guest room)



Most everything that we bought for the house were vintage items that were all re-purposed and most of the tile we picked was eco-friendly. I cant wait to share the upcoming issue with you when it comes out. It was such a great creative project to work on.

Thank you Lisa Boone at LA Times!

$17.00 Score!

As everyone knows vintage shopping can be a hit or miss. Sometimes you get lucky with great deals and other times you just walk out with nothing. I have a local vintage store that I sometimes go into and yesterday was definitely a hit. Yep I bought all this for $17.00! I also bought 4 vintage wood frames and a cook book too.



Have you had a hit day? And what was your score let us know!
