Trend Series: Art Deco

Screen shot 2012-03-11 at SundayMar 111.59

Art Deco emerged as a style in the early 20th century. Optimistic, it reflected the sensibilities of the time. Think of women in fringed dresses with bobbed hair, champagne coupes and The Great Gatsby. It was a time filled with change and glamour.

Master Suites – Part I

In a lot of homes, the master bedrooms are the last spaces to receive any design attention.  But in our eyes, they deserve so much more. When it comes to creating the perfect suite, we think the details matter so much. From the closet to the bed, we design retreats to support the homeowners’ love for each other.

Know The Trends, Jill Shares All – A Blog Series – Floor Lamps

As many of you know, I LOVE great details in a space.  They make it or break it.  Leave a room standard and “done a million times” or take it to a level that makes it memorable and fabulous.  One way to do that?  I give you the small, interesting table.

Make it fab!

The lovely Susan Britton, a writer for the national site The Examiner, called last month to do an article on me and my firm.  We had such a great conversation and chatted for over 90 minutes.  She herself is a designer and writes on some of the biggest interior designers and product designers in the country.  I can’t wait to read her upcoming articles as her “to-write” list coming up is amazing…but I have been sworn to secrecy!

Thank you so much, Susan!  Keep me posted!

Art To Evoke Both Sides Of The Mind: Part II

There is nothing I love more than fabulous art.  I am addicted to all kinds and love depth and meaning in them…pieces that make you think or feel.  I prefer to be moved on the left and right side of my brain to think, “Why?” and then care about the answer.  But don’t get me wrong, odd pieces can be great fun.

In the world of modern contemporary art, I think layering is essential.  It can separate the men from the boys, if you will.  Just as it took time to layer the earth to create a living masterpiece, it takes time to layer great art.

To follow are pieces created by a family of painters.  I find them very beautiful.  Can you guess who may have painted what?

If you want more info, give me a shout!
