Crazy Monday

What a crazy Monday - today was the first day in my new office.  Thanks to Adam, Dale and Susan in my office for making it a smooth transition.  It was the best birthday gift I could have received.  I plan to photograph the different spaces and post the final result so you can check it out.  It is a palette of lacquered whites, cream linen, rosewood, exposed old brick and nickel finishes.  I found out today that Bing Crosby was the original owner of the building.  I love learning about the history of buildings.

Today we also started the installation of A. Rudin’s flagship showroom in the PDC.  I also want to thank Carolyn, one of my top designers - without her great sense of style direction I would not have made it through this hectic day.

Speaking of Top Design, many of you wrote in asking if that was me on Bravo’s show Top Design last week.  Yes, I was invited to check out the contestants design challenge for Bacardi Limon’s Lounge - I thought they did a great job -

If you live in LA - tune in to KTLA tomorrow morning as I will be a guest discussing easy ways to bring Spring into your home.  I believe it will be in the 9 o’clock hour and possibly the end of the 8 o’clock hour.

I also wanted to send out a huge thank you to all of you that responded with excellent interview questions for my new website.  Each submission was full of great questions, and I think they will make for a great interview.  We hope to select the first batch of questions soon - I’ll keep you posted…

Carolyn and I discuss location of new pieces in the A. Rudin Flagship Showroom in the Pacific Design Center.
