Most of my clients live in homes and estates with expansive square footage and more bedrooms than they have purposes to fulfill. Subsequently, these unoccupied rooms rapidly become a catch-all for the diverse objects in their lives. In this gorgeous Mediterranean home just outside of Los Angeles, two empty bedrooms and a jack and jill bathroom stood out like sore thumbs amongst a multitude of wares and accomplishments. My client trusted me explicitly to decode the foregone conclusions of these spaces with the only direction being to apply a color pallet of lavender. Needless to say, these opportunities do not come often but when they do I expediently rise to the occasion. Herein lies, my best use of interior space and the birth of a relaxation room…Valentine Style!

She communicated that her Living Room/Dining Room was [...]

So often I am asked where I find inspiration. My interpretation of love and environments stems from a vast number of life occurrences but it is always through a deep piercing within my heart. I recently discovered the masterfully accomplished artist Tim Cantor as my BFF and I strolled through boutiques and art galleries in Sausalito on a brisk Sunday afternoon. The work of Tim Cantor is overwhelmingly distinctive, compelling, and powerful. His luxuriant utilization of color is captivating to say the least. It is magical with an enchanting beauty that allows one to deeply connect with the imagery. Underneath this imagery lies a deep story that seems to capture feelings of peace, sorrow, loss, failure, triumph, tragedy and pure honesty.

The initial greeting when someone walks into your space will likely some up their thoughts of you in 30 seconds. Some spaces exude passion, others conservatism and some even leave you questioning – so exactly what do they do here? The communal areas are one of my favorite spaces to design in commercial projects for they are so much more than a waiting room with seating – therein lays my unique opportunity to drive home the interpretation of their story. This Casino Royale chandelier from Kravitz Design and Swarovski demonstrates this organizations keen eye for style and unmatched commitment to excellence.

My daughter Riann lives in a gorgeous loft apartment Downtown LA near her college campus, FIDM. Her building is owned by Kor Group and all of the communal areas are under renovation by none other than Kelly Wearstler. On a recent visit I was astounded by the newly laid marble in the main lobby. I’m [...]
