Thursday

Help. Many wonder why it has been a while since my last entry. I’ve been feverishly trying to pull together the design of my new place. It is not easy when you’re your own client. My biggest challenge is re-defining my style. Each time I move, I test my ability to work in a different aesthetic. Check back to see what evolves.

The view of my new living room. With 6 windows in this room, I will need to have a window treatment that softens the space while controling the light. I need over 110 yards of fabric just for these windows. Ouch.

In the dining area, I test out different sizes of chairs (you know how I love using blue tape). I’m leaning toward using the same chair I used in Dennis Hammer’s living room. The Barnstaple Chair by Gerard is killer good lookin (its posted somewhere in the blog archives) I like the antique quality of the red leather upholstery paired with beautiful lines (If I find a photo, I will post it tomorrow)

The view out of my guest room. I have always admired the Capitol Records building. It is one of the 5 iconic buildings I studied my first year of design school (you can also see the Hollywood sign in the background)

Back at the office I try to squeeze in some time to look at fabrics.

Check back soon!
