Pretty Pillows

I've looked at this site many times and meant to post something from it. The site is called Mirror Mirror on the web. It has so many pretty things such as this pink beaded silk cushion. Decorated with embroidery. The site is also based out of the United Kingdom.

Art making a difference

I meant to post this picture for quite awhile now, somehow it got lost in my many folders. However, here it is for all of you to see. This stylish livingroom design by the awesome Kelly Wearstler, was featured on the front cover of 'Western Interiors and Design Magazine' in the Oct 2006 issue. (Also one of my favorites) I absolutely adore the painting on the wall behind the chesterfield sofa....which is on my list of 'next sofas to buy'. I think art is essential and makes such a difference. This painting happens to be very simple (Green & Charcoal) , yet makes quite a statement. I enjoy that aspect. HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!

Decor pieces for your home....

Now I really enjoyed these sitting pieces from the Neiman Marcus website. These are so vibrant and would add life to any home. My favorite one is the Hair-hide bench of course. Love it! It is something I could see myself making.

Doggies and Furniture

Another great Piece, ok...I couldn't resist. This piece is also from the Neiman Marcus Furniture section online. The doggies add such a cute feel to this shot, dogs are so cute!

A chair fit for a Queen

Here is another piece I came across on the Neiman Marcus website. I swear I had no idea the furniture section was so amazing. This Pretty Pink (dyed of course) hair hide chair is so cute! I think this one would attract more women then men, being that its so GIRLY ... but who knows, its so damn cute, men might love it too!

As Sexy as Clive Owen

This gergeous chair caught my attention almost as if I’d spotted Clive Owen. Nice! You can see it at the Neiman Marcus website in the furniture section. This beautiful carved hardwood frame pulls you in. Get ready to pay about $1900 for this hairhide seat.

Pretty in Pink

This Pretty room was done by Jeffers Design Group. Its so Beautiful and so much my style. Luxurious is the one word I think of when I look at this picture. You can see more of the syles they create at: www.jeffersdesigngroup.com

Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Here I am still in NYC - promoting my coffee tables. I decided to go to Brooklyn to a few furniture stores near Bedford Ave. and what a nice little area that is. So many little shops and cafes. So many young people there and the furniture stores I walked into were so unique. I really enjoyed one called “The Future PERFECT’. Worth the trip to Brooklyn.

Doggie Picasso

Hope everyone had a great New Year. I’m actually in NYC on business right now - so this might delay my blogs every so often. I went onto the New Domino site and i loved it! I found the coolest site there called Noisy Dog Studio.com. This site offers custom doggie portraits. I love animals and this is such a cute way to keep your dog around for many years. I think they should add a boxer….how about one of mine?
