Recently I was cruising Kate's Paperie and came across the line of Cavallini paper products. I almost feel like it would be a shame to use their beautiful papers to wrap a present and then have them all torn to shreds upon opening. These are works of art that are meant to be appreciated. $4.50 a sheet may be a tad pricey for wrapping paper but framed and matted and hung on a wall they make some... Read more
Fellow Blogger, Designer, and NESAD Alum Jeanine did a great blurb about our house in the Selby Contest. Check out her blog. I am loving the most recent post about the giant hammock in Boston. We need one of those in LA. Read more
Soyoung just recently forwarded me to the Animal print shop where you can purchase these great inexpensive minimalist prints of animals for just $25 for a 7" x 9" edition. I think a series of several of these (like a square of 16 up together on a wall) could be quite dramatic. Simple white mats and frames on a dark wall.

They also have a great selection of beers and nicely edited wines. And of course, they are home to LA's best beer float.... Read more
So, it's been over a week, but for my birthday, Scott took me on the previously mentioned downtown date night. Highlights include (and I apologize for the blurry iphone photos):Martinis at the Library Bar. Cute and Cozy space and probably better food than where we ended up.A ride on the Angel's FlightFunicular - the shortest railway in the US. For a mere 25 cents you get to stand instead of...

First squash of the season. The cukes aren't doing so well. Thus far they look like prickly cornichons.... but this squash is longer than my hand and certainly edible! Read more
Yes, we've gone viral trying to promote our house in the CB2 Selby Contest. Check out the first of 3 videos we made. Hopefully the embarrassment will be worth it!: Read more
I'm not one to be overly judgemental of other folks' style and taste. There are a myriad of different approaches out there when it comes to interior design. BUT....This person's room is in first in the CB2 Selby Contest. C'mon people. You know you want me to win over this. Vote now. Here: http://www.theselbycontest.com/entry/74306 Read more
