Top Design?

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Did anyone watch it? Of course you did, if you read this blog you must enjoy interior design and this is a guilty pleasure….I think.
My thoughts…
1) India Hicks’ way of speaking is really annoying. And she’s really tan. I guess that’s how you roll when you live in the Bahamas year round.
2) JEFF LEWIS AS A GUEST JUDGE??? I’m signed up for the whole season!
3) Wisit. The name. The voice. The opera singing. Hella weird.
4) The “Junkyard”, where they all went to shop for these $2,000/2 day lofts looked like a gold mine!! Why were they complaining? Prima donnas.
5) The right team won the challenge for sure, I was pretty impressed at what they did in two days but my question is- how did they get flooring and wallpaper to fit into the $2,000 budget?

6) Kelly Wearstler scares me. She is a rockstar in this biz, don’t get me wrong, but something about her (and her future hair styles they showed in previews) makes me uncomfortable.
7) The talent pool on there is kinda weak… I hate to say it, but perhaps I should have tried out! LOL!
8) Just reaffirming that I *heart* Jonathan Adler…especially when he called the dog bed they made him “j’adorable”.
9) The kiss off line “we can’t live with your design” is HORRENDOUS!!!!

Love to hear what you thought of it.

The Office.

Monday, August 25th, 2008

I am in dire need of organization- so today I have a braand new filing cabinet to fill and some serious tidying to do. In honor of my “get your sh*t together” vow, I present you a dreamy black and white office that just screams “clean and organized”.

A vintage looking chair paired with a metal and glass architects desk allows for LOADS of counter top space.

A pair of soft, upholstered guest chairs for clients topped with a punch of color with graphic pillows and a pair vintage style desk lamps.

A graphic Madeline Weinrib rug to anchor the room and decorative bulletin boards for inspiration and organization.

A vintage console perfect for organizing (six open bins (for samples, etc.), four drawers and two cabinets below! I’d paint the inside bright green. I’d also get a big metal filing cabinet at Staples and do what Mary Macdonald did and cover it with a large graphic piece of paper.

Some colorful organizational accessories by Semikolon and file folders that would let me dream of a trip to Paris while doing tedious tasks.

Etsy Shop!

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Hey Guys!
So I’ve launched my Etsy shop- right now featuring the vintage, hand printed wallpapers I’ve been so enamored with and that inspired the launch of my blog! Check them out, more to come! Also, as soon as I finish working on the vintage furniture I am refurbishing and modernizing it’ll go on here as well.
Also, a couple photographs for good measure and to keep the photographer in me alive.
Cheers!
Erin
