WestWeek

Sorry for the lack of posts, but I am attending a few events at WestWeek at the Pacific Design Center this week in my role as PR Director of Grace Home Furnishings. In addition, I've been very busy getting some of their new design projects ready to be submitted to publishers. Very exciting stuff, but it's kept my vintage furniture finding and writing at a standstill!

1stdibs Introspective - The Talent - Kishani Perera

I was browsing through 1st Dibs and saw this great profile on Kishani Perera! We share a common background at UCLA and I also helped her a few times while working as a designer at Grace Home Furnishings. She is a lovely person as well as a FABULOUS designer. Check out the article and photos here:

Great Gardens!

Looking outside my family room window, I saw several ripe peppers ready for the picking. Venturing into the garden I soon discovered several lovely ripe tomatoes! Quelle surprise! Looks like I'm going to have to make some sauce this week. Luckily Jamie Oliver has a really easy recipe that doesn't require any peeling. Check it out: The Quickest Tomato Sauce

Paris Post

I just got back from Paris and thought I'd share my musings on "glamour" and "green" things I witnessed over there.

First, regarding green. There are very few places that offer "take-away" anything. If you want to eat, you sit down and eat off a plate. A REAL plate. Same goes for coffee. You sit and drink it at a table or at a "bar." Result - very little trash created and I think people are healthier for it!

Next, re: glamour. Lots of cool stuff. One of my favorites - this bed. I can't remember the name of the store, but it had a very similar design sensibility to Julian Chichester.

Final cool thing - photos of Hong Kong in the rain by Christophe Jacrot:

Happy Holidays!
