one week from today... (LCDQ #legends2013)

please join me one week from today as i try to be entertaining at 10:30 in the morning! mornings are not my finest hour, but i promise i'll do my best to discuss "reinventing upholstery from earlier eras", and if nothing else, i'll explain to you why i think the 80's are coming back and why you are powerless to stop it. (or whatever else happens to pop into my silly little head).

see you at gina berschneider furniture for LCDQ legends 2013 in one week!!! RSVP here!

happy monday!

we thought we'd be back to normal around the office today, but we are still playing catch-up from our high point trip plus dealing with all the normal monday BS (ugh), so expect high point posts soon (ish). in the meantime, here's a happy little picture from a project heading to completion...

LCDQLA: legends 2013! (may 8-10)

today, i am busy getting caught up after my biannual whirlwind trip to high point, but that doesn't mean i'm not thinking ahead to the next flurry of cocktails and design on my calendar, the la cienega design quarters annual "legends" event! 

maison21 legends 2012

"legends" is one of my favorite LA events, and if y'all recall, i was one of the window display designers at legends last year and i had a blast! this year, no window for me- too busy- but i'm going to take part in as many panels and parties as my schedule permits, and i'm very excited to see what my fellow LA designer friends like jamie and ron of woodson & rummerfield, and molly luetkemeyer of m design come up with! (you can read about all the fun in my blog recaps of past legends events here).

events are filling up fast, so register today, and i'll see YOU on la cienega, may 8th - 10th!

the last 7 days

so remember the old saying, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all?

with that in mind, here is the highlight of my week: 

and here are ome cute pictures of pups, kitties, flowers and clouds:

and onward and upward to the next seven... ;-)

los angeles modernism show

pretty much as soon as my plane lands from highpoint, i'll have to change and get ready for this fab los angeles event! (ok, there is 48 hours in-between, but trust me, with my jet lag, it will feel like the blink of an eye). the los angeles modernism show  at barker hanger  4/26-28 is once of my faves as i LOVE modern, particularly of the vintage kind, and the dealers who come to the show always bring their best stuff, so it's fabulousity all around.

i also hope you'll join me for the opening night party on april 25th which benefits PS arts, one of my favorite causes providing art, music and theater funding for underserved public schools-  soooooo important in this age of budget cuts! fabulousity and a good cause? you betta be there! get your tix here!

*here's a hint of what's in store, from way back in 2008
