the future of interior design????

We have all heard of energy efficient homes I'm sure. I think the idea sounds fantastic.
However, when I think of these homes, I think aluminum looking ugliness. Yuck!
Well, maybe that's not the case anymore.
I was surprised when I received an email about HUF HAUS and the Green{r}evolution.
Based off traditional German housing, these gorgeously modern, black, white and glass homes
 take 14-16 weeks to construct for move in...AND they are made with the environment in mind.

Say What???
I know, I didn't believe it either...but they look pretty cool.
I mean, I would have to cozy it up...a lot, but I am loving all the windows!
What do you guys think? too modern? 
or would you swing the 'green' way?

secret to domestic bliss # 14...a reading nook.

What is better than getting cozy with a good book and some tea?
nothing.
We all know this, so it should be imperative to a home to have a reading nook.
No matter how small or how large it is, try to incorporate this one essential space.
Don't forget to always keeps some books or magazines in the area so you are compelled to read more.
My guess is, we may not always use it, but...
if you have guests, it will make you quite the hostess to have room for them to relax.
Everybody wins!
I think this one might be my most favorite...and lately I am loving reading a new juicy interior decorating magazine on my patio and have my morning coffee.
Lovin it!

inspiring blogger: PoshGlam

The other night the gallery I work at had a huge fashion event to kick off fashion week.


Have you guys ever heard of this blog?
Well, I hadn't either, but this girl is taking over the fashion world.
She started out as just a small blog and has now grown to be 1 of the top 10 fashion blogs in the country.
Her event was outrageous, she had tons of sponsors, a red carpet and everything.
When I asked for her secrets...
She said, she just started writing her thoughts and before she knew it, she was getting
emails from everyone who she looked up to.
And now she has a staff of 5.
woah.
This is the beautiful blogger behind the madness, Kimberly Stone.
She is pretty inspiring.

And just for fun, here is a pic of my staff + I at the Gallery. 
We had a superfun time.
So bloggers, keep blogging... you never know where it might lead you!

Right now I am working on a little cottage in Brentwood, CA.
It is absolutely adorable...wish I lived there.
It is only a rental but it is taking so much work.
I will call it in the 'under construction' phase as the renter is a travel junkie...
thought I would share with you some sneak peak shots.



(the above blue chair + white coffee table I found while thrifting for super duper cheap)



Final result to come soon...i pinky promise.

your decorating style...

Tonight I was out at a dinner, and one of the dinner guests and i got to chatting about my blog.
I love discussing blogging because I feel it is something everyone should do.
I am a huge proponent of expressing yourself and making friends while sharing common interests.

Interestingly enough, I was seriously stumped by one simple question.
What is your design style?
To be honest, I have no particular style. 
When I walk into a blank room, I get a feeling for the room and love to create the mood, 
the vibe, the feeling. I truly believe each person, and their space becomes its own theme and 
character...so I don't like to pigeonhole myself into one particular style.
Now, I can confirm this because I was emailed these photos and 
asked which one I like better...and I have no answer! 
They all look like perfection to me, just different moods.
You guys tell me...
Which one would be more your style???
