Thanks to Sarah who forwarded me this awesome Etsy shop. Ikat and Batikwas started by Ginette in 2009 when she moved to Bali to source fabrics, sew and start up her Etsy shop. There are a few things that I love about Ginette's shop. First off, the pricepoint. You really can't find these kind of throw pillows for $20 a pop anywhere else! Secondly, I love that she creates a palette for you. For... Read more
Loving his artwork. I wish I could get this kind of viscous quality in my paintings. I suppose I could, if I had a lot of floor space and a lot of linseed oil. I've discovered that adding turpentine just creates skinny little drips, not big fun globs.

Trina Turk's 2011 Outdoor fabric collection for F. Schumacher has hit the showrooms. And it's hit with quite the bang! Saturated hues, a little psychadelic and with her signature West Palm vibe, the collection is definitely a winner. I wish I were doing someone's poolside lounge, as this would be perfect. Also perfect for anywhere where durability is an issue. Breakfast room banquettes, kid-proof... Read more
Now that I have a new camera, I was finally able to go to my friends Kellie and Adam's house to take some photos. I helped them with their place almost two years ago and it's still looking great! The Lumix (and my new tripod) did great! And that wide angle lens proved to be incredibly handy.For today - some shots of the living room: Read more
I'm helping our friend David with the renovation of his condo. Now David is super handy (actually, he's a handyman!) so he's replacing the floors himself, installing new kitchen cabinets, painting the walls etc. I've been tasked with helping him select furniture, colors, accessories etc. David lives by the beach, but isn't super into the shabby chic beach house vibe. He prefers a cleaner look with... Read more
