Using Traditional Textiles in Your Home: New on Houzz!
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010
Photo courtesy of Houzz.com
Most of you know that I write a weekly article (or ideabook) for Houzz.com. I’m especially excited about this week’s photo collection of traditional textiles in home decor — take a peek at an excerpt below.
Are you bored of seeing the same patterns over and over again? Stripes, swirls, polka dots, leopard print…enough already! Take a cue from past traditions and infuse your space with hand printed or handmade textiles. Click here for the entire article.

Decor Mag Highlights: June 2010
Friday, June 25th, 2010
I finally got around to tearing and filing images from the June decor magazines. There weren’t many images that evoked gasps of awe, but still many inspiring rooms with quiet elegance. Here are my favorites from Elle Decor and House Beautiful…
I love the lucite table paired with those natural chairs.
The accent pillows and ottoman take this room from boring to chic.
Meg Ryan's home -- Apparently she also has great taste.
I would give up wine for a year for these Holly Hunt chairs!

Decor Mag Highlights: February/March 2010
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
I started to notice that my mailbox isn’t as full of interior design magazines as it used to be. I miss Domino as much as the next guy (or gal)! Here are my favorite images from this month’s (remaining) decor magazines. Elle Decor and Coastal Living are where I found the most inspiration; the below images are from these two publications.
- Sophisticated island chic! Love the crisp black & white mixed with natural materials.
- The corresponding living room incorporates the black & white palette, adding eclectic furnishings and natural accents.
Bold stripes sass up this bar area.
Glossy blue walls and a cozy mix of furniture create an inviting library.

Clever Design Trick from San Francisco Dining by Design: Modernize Old Chairs with Plastic Seats
Thursday, February 4th, 2010
I just came across this photo I snapped at DIFFA’s (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS) Dining by Design event in November. I loved this room as a whole, but especially the clever idea of updating antique dining chairs with plastic seats and chair backs instead of the standard of reupholstering. The curves of the chair really stand out…So smart!
