I know, you're probably thinking, enough about the house already... We get it. It's for sale. Someone should buy it.Well, I swear I'm nearing the end of my little house rampage. Then we will be on to fun new projects a la Jersey Shore. But just a few more posts regarding Chez Davis Eagle Rock. Yesterday Deasy Penner's My Home as Art Blogfeatured a great little writeup about our wonderful... Read more
Well, here it is. Part Two....The rest of the house. There are definitely things I would have liked to have added like some artwork on the wall in the family room and a couple of x benches at the foot of the bed in the master, and maybe a hood and window seat in the kitchen but those will have to wait until the next house / project. We will definitely miss our little urban chalet but can't wait to... Read more

Well, as many of you saw from my previous blog post, we are relocating back to the New York area. One of the things we are most sad about leaving behind is our lovely home that we have worked so hard to refurbish and restore. Funny how it isn't until you're ready to leave that you get everything in tip top shape and take great photos of the space. Here are some photos from the shoot and that are... Read more

I have to say I'm not a fan of just cutting and pasting images from someone else to create a blog post. I like to curate or create my own content most of the time. However, these photos of the new W Koh Samui have been circulating around the interwebs and giving me a serious case of wanderlust. They were too incredible not to share. All images courtesy of Freshhome Read more

My NY bestie Lizzy put together this great springy outfit perfect for the warmer days that we are now experiencing (anyone up for a clambake and some boating this Memorial Day?):First get your hair up in a high pony with a blunt bang a la Reese. Throw on some rolled up boyfriend jeans from Joe Fresh and this Madewell red racerback tank. Then kick around in these Sperry Topsider brooks flats which... Read more
Today I'm starting a new series called Illustrated Etymology where I take a architectural, decor, or design term and tell you about the meaning, provenance and give you a little illustration to go along with it. A little snapshot of some of the things you learn in school but more fun than sitting through a lecture. Today's word is "Enfilade". Enfiladerefers to a series of rooms or "salons", as... Read more
I met photographer Loren Bergera while back when she introduced herself to me as a source for cool art for the hotel projects I work on. In my industry, most artists come to us by way of art consultants. Not to insult the creative trades, but as you can imagine, those that live in the right brained world aren't always the best at marketing themselves and doing the business end of running an art...
