DRESSING VIA INTERIORS No. 2
Today’s Dressing Via Interiors started with the Meyerhofer Residence: a midcentury modern renovation in California that oozes warm, modern richness. At the surface, it’s made up of black slate floors, a split of concrete and carmel-wood-planked walls (seen above) and orange-red doors with simple, blackened steel tubular hardware. Don Draper would approve. In what I...
BOB ROSS REMIX
Whomever is responsible for this sweet little Bob Ross remix has me on their side. I used to love watching his show and I still have the palette knife from the Bob Ross painting kit I used as a child. I’ve watched this a few times now and it’s almost committed to memory – what I appreciate...
DRESSING VIA INTERIORS
The magic of the principles of design – balance, proportion, rhythm, emphasis and unity – is that they’re universally applied whether the subject is art, interiors, fashion, etc.. Domino magazine used to have a feature based on this exact concept, where they would create a room inspired by a fashionable ensemble. I dearly miss Domino magazine… that “special” publication...
Featured in DIY Magazine
I am extra proud of my rubber-stamp-baby for getting featured in Better Homes & Gardens’ DIY Magazine: Best of Etsy feature. I’ve known it was a possibility since early springtime, but the deal was that if we made it into the magazine, I would be notified with a free issue. That never came so I...
WINDY LANE STUDIO
THANK YOU, etsy, for the introduction this afternoon to Kai Samuels-Davis, painter extraordinaire and shopkeep at Windy Lane Studio. Kai’s expressive realist-style paintings are composed of cerebral, visceral figures, landscapes and objects – “creating a mood of melancholy and solitude”. Exactly the kind of things I want hanging on my walls, enveloping my surroundings. Here are some...
SHOP ADDITIONS
That’s right folks, an assortment of goods has been added to the shop. Just trying to do a little summer cleaning, and get rid of some things that are starting to collect. I literally do not live in a home big enough to be any sort of collector. Make both of our days and take...
WORKHORSE PRINTMAKERS: AN EVENING of LETTERPRESS
Last Thursday I was invited to the new studio belonging to our friends Jennifer Blanco and John Earles at Workhorse Printmakers for an AIGA student workshop: AN EVENING of LETTERPRESS. They were lovely hosts and provided a wealth of knowledge and experience to guide us through the process — even for an apprehensive letterpresser like myself. Here’s a...
KITCHEN RENO PART III
In case you missed the first two parts: KITCHEN RENO PART I | PART II The main work of the remodel was all completed in the month of February. It took less than four weeks, but the house was covered in sawdust, the walls were open, floors, cabinets and counters were ripped out — and we were...
KITCHEN RENO PART II
Part two of the kitchen renovation series: inspiration photos! These are some of the most fun things to look at during any renovation, in my opinion – I love to see what direction the design was headed based on photos of other spaces. Here are some of the probably many photos that inspired our budget renovation with...
KRIS JENNER STYLE
Weakness: Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Strength: Style tips from the Kardashian/Jenner girls. I do have a slightly glam side, and sometimes I feel indulgent and want sparkley diamond earrings – like the Loren Jewelry 14k gold/16k pave diamond ones Kris Jenner wears on KUWTK which are OOMPR (out of my price range) at over $12k. Above is...
KITCHEN RENO PART I
At the beginning of this year, Steven and I started renovating our kitchen (on a budget). We live in a 1952 ranch-style home with a small, working kitchen that just needed a facelift and some opening up. Before, everything was white with a neo-Tuscan vibe that was not working with our American-Industrial-Minimalist thang. Let me...
WHITE HEAT
Summer in Tejas Caliente does not bring pants to mind most of the time, but some little bug has gotten in my head and I can’t stop thinking about finding the perfect pair of wide-legs. I really like this white pair by Reiss, the label made evermore famous by her royal highness Kate Middleton. I...
