    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.

    San Francisco Artist Highlight: Nick Coley

    Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

    Looking for original artwork that has a very San Francisco feel without the cheese factor? Then Nick Coley is the artist for you. His vivid works have an impressionistic quality with a more modern spin. His subjects range from bluffs in Marin to urban scenes such as parking lots and busy city streets.

    "Lafayette Park", 2009

    "Bolinas Ridge #5"

    Check out Nick’s current exhibit at ArtZone461.com

    461 Valencia (at 16th St.), San Francisco

    Home Design for Furry Family Members: As Seen on SFGate

    Monday, June 7th, 2010

    Check out our article (written for Houzz.com) featured on SFGate this Sunday in the Living section!

    Below is an excerpt, click here for the full article titled Home Design for Furry Family Members.

    It’s time to say goodbye to the carpeted cat tree and hello to more stylish solutions for living with pets. There is no reason that dog and cat beds should be eyesores in your home. All it takes is a little creative thinking to incorporate the needs of your animals seamlessly with the rest of your family.

    Considering the needs of your pets when designing a built-in or remodeling your kitchen is a great way to provide function and style. Think about the practical issues: Always buy cushions with removable covers for easy washing. Don’t forget that dogs can have a difficult time on hardwood floors. Adding runners and area rugs will make it easier for them to get around and will provide soft places for hanging out.
