birdie bookends

Just bought these super cute birdie bookends from Pottery Barn Kids for the baby's room!  With a bit of time and the correct materials, you can make these!  All you'll need is something heavy for the base (so the books stand at attention.....), cut the little birdies out of plywood or even some sort of foam, and cover them with some cute fabric! 

It was a tough choice between the birdies and the owls, but with a pink theme for the bedroom the birdies won  : )

With adequate sewing skills (which I absolutely do not have), you can make these as well!

ethereal evolution

I am SO excited!!!  (But in the nerdy designer way that all you other designers out there would understand).  I don't know if I've been out of the loop for a while or what, but I just came upon a GREAT FIND.  I have big love for Sicis, one of the greatest tile companies on the planet earth.  Or so I thought!  Now appropriately named Sicis, The Art Factory, not only do they carry tile, but they also carry furniture, accessories, fabrics, and jewelry (soon to come)!  Their new furniture line is absolutely GORGEOUS.  I love it because it's so different and unique, and they have pieces I've never seen before.  The designs are very whimsical and some are even accented with their beautiful mosaic tiles.  The furniture pieces remind me of Las Vegas and have that Alice in Wonderland type feel, giving me the huge urge to design glamorous and ethereal spaces using their amazing works of art!!!

beach bummin'

I really don't think it's the onset of the warm weather............I have just always loved the beach theme.  Maybe because deep down inside I would absolutely love to go live beachside (I mean, who wouldn't????????).  The beach feel is so light and airy, crisp and fresh.  It reminds me of soft sand, clean linen, calming waves......  I think I need a vacation.

Introducing........Roberto Mantellassi!!!

A sneak peek at the new line that I am representing.....Roberto Mantellassi!  The Collection is a stunning new Italian line of bracelets, belts, handbags, and accessories handcrafted from exquisite leather and eel, python, and lizard skins.  The Collection was first proudly introduced in Italy and is now being distributed throughout Northern America!!!  Isn't the Collection just gorgeous!?!?!?  Although pictures don't do it nearly half the justice.  You really need to see these in person! 

Stay tuned.............more to come!!!

.....it's a girl!!!

Now all the decisions need to be made!  And the most important....how to decorate the nursery?!?!?!?

baby on the brain

How cool is this nursery?  I just love the soft color palette and the mod design.  Some great design elements...the painted grid on the wall and the hanging ceiling panels.
