New York in Instagrams

I apologize for the blog post dry spell.  With the last week of work and then a week and a half in New York, there just wasn't time to get posts scheduled for each day I was away - and I didn't want to attempt to do any posting from my iphone - scary.  I'm hoping to do better when we make the actual move now that I have a little more time on my hands to get stuff done in advance.Whew. New York... Read more

Baby Shower Brights

My friend Jaime from Less on the Floor is back helping me out during our crazy moving bonanza with a fun fashion post.  In fact, she will be contributing more regularly with fun fashion finds for the working mom. Today she's giving us some ideas for the onslaught of spring baby showers. Take it away Jaime:Apparently it's a season for babies because this month sees me attending not one but THREE... Read more

Artist Profile: Jerry Kung

The second artist interview in my artist profile series explores the amazing glass blowing of Jerry Kung, brother of one of my good friends and Artist in Residence at the Tacoma Museum of Glass. How did you get into glass blowing? I got into glass making at art school. After a short stint of Latin American Literature and Animal Behaviorism, I entered Rhode Island School of Design as a ceramicist.... Read more

Farewell LA Fete

Since our house was in tip top shape, we figured what better time that to make a toast to all the great friends we've made in LA and have a little Bon Voyage get-together. I know I posted a preview on Monday's Instagram, but here is a more comprehensive view of the travel themed affair (no Adam, those suitcases were not there just because I'm "artsy"...).Party theme and creation by Jessica...

My Home As Art

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...

Glen Arbor – the final product – part two

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

Glen Arbor – the final product part one

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
