Dear Friends,

Close friends of mine know that I, 1. have a passion for cooking and 2. have a love for everything kitchen...

Dear Friends,

I am guessing most of you have watched the movie, "Something's Gotta Give", starring Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson, and oh my the house!!! Heaven on earth!! I dream that one day I will be cooking in that kitchen, drinking a glass of white wine, serving what looked like an amazing linguine and clams :-)...what could be better!!! Then, to find out the exterior of the house was real, but the actual interior which was down-right drool-worthy, was a sound-stage!!

Nonetheless, I am obsessed with each and every detail and wanted to share the photos with you too...who wouldn't want to spend time working/writing while entertaining family and friends at this gorgeous, cozy, and amazing home!! Enjoy!!!

Dear Friends,

While researching artists for a job, I came across, Selena Beaudry, and truly fell in love with her paintings. The serenity of both the colors and their movements remind me of laying on your back and listening to the sound of the waves or watching the passing clouds go by. Let me know your thoughts and enjoy!

From the artist: "Color has always been central to my work and I use it in a number of ways. It can be personal, from a memory or used as a tool like punctuating a sentence. The color shifts subtly as well as dramatically creating a sense of play in my work.

In the end, all of the work has been inspired by my surroundings, adventures and encounters and is a reflection of my ideas of beauty, indulgence, seduction and frivolity. "

Dear Friends,

I first discovered LuLu DK when she designed a line of bed linens for Matouk; which I know have on my bed and am in love. Ever since then, I have come to love her style, fashion-sense, and creativity when it comes to design. Her fabrics and wallpapers are bold yet whimsical: she is not afraid to use strong/rich colors, but at the same time, has the ability to create a perfect balance between the color, scale, and motif.

Just recently, LuLu expanded her brand, working with Schumacher she has designed a Kids fabric and wallpaper collection. Each pattern is hand drawn; something she has done from the very beginning.

Enjoy the images of her work !! Personally I cannot wait to see what she does next!

Dear Friends,

I wanted to share with you my absolute favorite designers, Bunny Williams; her classic and sophisticated style are unparalleled and always radiate a timeless elegance not to be matched.

Ever since Ms. Williams published her book, 'An Affair with a House' in 2005, I have been in love. First off, the house is stunning, both inside and out and her pantry is something I dream of having one day...one day :-)

She has both a pantry in which she displays all her dishes and glassware in the most beautiful of glass cabinets and in addition she has a storage room/butler's pantry that stores all her tablecloths, silver, etc...oh my goodness!!! I am in heaven!!

Enjoy the pantry photos along with some of Bunny's other rooms!

Dear Friends,

I wanted to share with you my absolute favorite paint and wallpaper company. Their variety and depth of color is like none other and, in addition, they have the most stunning wallpapers that carry on the same amazing color palette. I cannot wait to someday be able to use their paints and wallpapers in my own home! Enjoy some of the photos and let me know what you think!

Farrow & Ball
About the Paint: Unlike many other manufacturers, Farrow & Ball uses naturally occurring pigments, such as Umbers in their purest form, and they continue to use natural ingredients such as Chalk, Lime Putty and China Clay.

About the Wallpaper: All the patterned wallpapers are block printed and our stripes and stries are trough printed. Each wallpaper design has a unique texture which is achieved by using a hand brushing technique to apply the ‘ground’ colour. This, coupled with the application of the pattern or stripe using another layer of paint, creates wallpaper of great distinction and beauty.
