Wonderful Weekend..

A Life in Design...

One of my all time favorite designers, That Hayes has a book "The Tailored Interior" that features 21 of the most spectacular houses.

Clean, sharp, and elegant are theperfect way to best describe his designs.

Hayes who is also very well known for his ability to embrace both the period and the modern, significant objects and simple ones, furniture he finds and furniture he designs, finds a nice balance between transitional and modern styles.

Unpretentious and yet coolly sophisticated is the work of this well known New York designer.

Hayes' interiors are wonderful demonstrations of aesthetic sensitivity to nuance and style.

Go grab his book..I promise it will be well worth it!

Hope everybody is having a beautiful Wednesday!

An Affair To Remember....

One of my all time favorite magazines, Interiors, featured a house designed by Barbara Waltman.

They captured a beautiful transitional feel, that one hundred years from now someone could walk in and it wouldn't feel dated. The calming decor parallels the quality of light on the island of Nantucket, Massachusetts .

They explained, some of their best memories are of winter gatherings, not summer fetes.

And it is still love at first sight each time they visit. That is true design!

Hope you enjoyed this, as much as we did! One of our favorite designs!

Look..Oliver Stone...

I was browsing through the November issue of Architectural Digest, and ran across Oliver Stone's NY apartment overlooking the Hudson River.

Designed by Geoffrey Bradfield, he opted for a natural feel (I think he captured that feel pretty darn good).

I love the mix of blues, reds, and cream colors! They look beautiful together, and really bring the feel of the outside in!

The ultra contemporary rug, ties the Kravet Sofa and club chairs together perfectly!

Look at the decorative pieces on the entry console (Picture Below)...they're SOCKS! How great is that!!




Over in the dining area, the blue fabric on the chairs, combined with the rich brown wood trim is STUNNING! Again, check out those gold hands in the middle of the table..Love that! What a breathtaking view!! ( Picture Below)



His bedroom is simple, yet masculine, but still warm and cozy. The black furniture pops right off the sleek white walls. (Picture Below)




Wouldn't mind stopping by to see the apartment in person!

3D Monster Truck

I hope everyone is having a nice and relaxing weekend! Here in LA the weather is simply beautiful! I hope it is the same for everyone else!

I had to share these images with you. This weekend we celebrated my little boys 4th birthday, with what else but a MONSTER TRUCK PARTY!

I searched EVERYWHERE for a great cake designer to make a custom Monster Truck cake. After a friend recommended me to Laura Barker, the process began. Actually, the process for me was quite simple. I explained what I wanted and that following weekend, it was complete!

She is extremely well priced, and had a variety of flavors that came standard. I gave her the full control, just provided her with his favorite color. She is a set decorator during the day, and a cake decorator at night...and she clearly has a nice sense of style!

Most cakes that look good, don't usually taste good..that is NOT the case on this one..the cake was so light, and the frosting was delicious! Thank you again, Laura..the cake was the talk of the party!

If anyone is interested in having a custom 3D cake made, let me know and I will provide you with her contact information! She's a pleasure to work with!

Have a beautiful Sunday!

As always, Enjoy!
