california home + design "designer crush" interview!

i posted a while back about how thrilled i was to have one of my favorite magazines "california home + design" return to publication this fall (and to feature my "pennants" rug in the relaunch!), and today, the love affair continues as they were nice enough to feature an interview with me for their "designer crush" series on the online website! i am tickled pink.

please, head on over to the site to check out the interview and a slideshow of my work! and a huge thanks to ca home + design, and to editor-at-large jennifer mehditash for her kind words and hard work- i assure you, the crush is mutual!

sneak peek from a maison21 los angeles interior design project

here's a little sneak peek of a media room i just completed here in the beverlywood section of los angeles (one of three rooms i designed for the homeowners).  i'm pretty darn pleased with how the room turned out, especially the moody color palette, livened by graphic pops of white. a perfect place to relax in netflix bliss. the gorgeous lynx photo is by wink gaines, a talented wildlife photographer i met in high point, and the super sexy modern sconces flanking mr. kitty were provided by lamps plus. 

holiday season kicks off in los angeles with some great events

the holiday season kicks off this week with some great book signings and gatherings:

first up, i was invited by my good buddy, andrew joseph PR, to attend a book signing for the wiseman group's new book, inner spaces at the beautiful therien showroom on la cienega this wednesday, december 3rd:

next day, on thursday 4th, mecox on la cienega in the LCDQLA is having a gathering to celebrate vignettes created by my friend, christos prevezanos, amongst others- always a good time at mecox!

black crow studios at westedge design fair.

last night was the opening of the westedge design fair at barker hanger, and i hope you are planning on stopping by if you live in the los angeles area- lots of great design will be on view!  i am particularly excited because for the first time all five colorways of my "memphis" wallpaper for black crow studios will be on view. the ecru colorway looks completely different than the black and white everyone is used to seeing- who says neutrals have to be boring?

 tracy will also be introducing her new line of pillows with her signature gorgeous prints (yay! memphis again!), and well, her new flower mural wallcovering has to be seen to be believed!

friend to the atelier, jaime derringer of designmilk, also has a curated exhibit, #superPACdesign, of some pretty hip designers, including this wolfrum teepee, so there is something for everyone!

welcome back, california home + design magazine! (and thank you!)

i couldn't be more excited by the return of california home + design magazine! and to have one of my shapes collection rugs (for 27 ground available exclusively thru woven accents) featured in the debut issue, well that's just icing on the cake.

a print magazine launching in today's environment is a rare and fragile thing, so i urge you, to run to the newsstands and BUY THIS MAGAZINE!  support print! it is truly the magazine that "gets" my POV and that POV of my peers. if you live outside of CA, find your city's newsstand with teh most international magazines and CHD will be there. oh, and look for the gorgeous cover of my buddy molly luetkemeyer's coldwater canyon project (shot by jon coolidge). simply amazing. molly has always been super supportive of my career, so i couldn't be more pleased to see her prodigious talent get some print coverstory love. i've always said, if i wasn't an interior designer myself, i'd hire molly to do my house... but i am, so hire me- she's waaaaaay too busy for you. tee hee. ;-)

welcome back CH+D and long live print!
