TRADhome


I'm so excited that one of our sister magazines, Traditional Home, has combined their noggins with the creators of Lonny Magazine (the leading online design mag) to create TRADhome. It's an online shelter mag that will launch twice this year- now and again in October.  Here are snippets from some of my fave stories.

I strongly suggest that you check it out for yourself though!!

Black, White, and Gray All Over


A couple of weekends ago my beau and I peeked into some open houses around town. We're not buying anything, just setting some goals, high ones I might add! Not only did I fall in love with one of the spaces, I FLIPPED over the way the owner decorated it. The color scheme was black, white and gray with mirror and black lacquer tables, glass lamps, and silver picture frames. It was DIVINE. Needless to say I can't stop thinking about it. These spaces aren't exactly what I saw (should've taken pictures! argh!) but they're close...


On the upside, we have found a place that its sort of affordable for us to purchase and attempt to flip. It's definitely not the ideal location or space in my eyes but it IS a clean slate for me to decorate on temporarily! We'll see what happens... keep ya posted!

Interior Inspiration- Kelly Wearstler

Today I'm hoping on a plane to sunny Santa Monica where we'll be shooting our July/August cover and a few other stories in the hills of Malibu (fingers crossed, no rain!). While we're there we have the pleasure of staying at one of my fave hotels, The Viceroy. Designed by Kelly Wearstler, it has bold color accents, collages of plates and mirrors (love), and quirky accessories. It's playful yet sophisticated and classy. She's also the writer of one of my daily blog reads My Vibe My Life....







Let me just say, I love staying here. Maybe it's because we've stayed in hotels that are all business and no fun and this place is the total opposite. It's home away from home PLUS they have amazing free shampoo/conditioner/body lotion. Who wouldn't love that?!
