I have always been a fan of the Eames Molded Plywood chair. Whether you are looking for a splash of color or a smaller side chair that can easily move around, it’s a little chair that packs a big punch. I just received Design Within Reach’s email about the “new” Upholstered Plywood Chair. What a … Continued
This is my go-to hike throughout the week. There is nothing spectacular about this loop – no stunning rivers or lakes, no steep elevation gains, no majestic vistas. And yet, the subtle beauty of this valley never ceases to amaze me. I love the peace and quiet when i’m strolling solo, and the terrain is … Continued
We were recently in Healdsburg celebrating my husband’s birthday with friends. We stopped in H2’s Spoonbar for some after dinner drinks and of course i made my way into the lobby to check out the Mah Jong sofa i had seen on their website. I am dying to put this sofa in someone’s house (maybe … Continued
It’s always nice to find a great chair. Here are a few of my recent and always favorites. The West Elm Slipper Chair is a sweet little chair with a smaller silhouette – great for the bedroom or a tighter living area. And you can’t beat the price. The grey leather is also quite handsome. … Continued
I am patiently waiting for the right project where i can introduce some lucky client to Bocci lighting. Whether in a large cluster or hung as individual pendants, i can see these lights complimenting a more rustic room, or adding whimsy and color to a contemporary, neutral space.

If you’re looking to make a statement without breaking the bank or totally re-arranging, a nice floor lamp can easily do the trick. I recently found this lamp from CB2 and put it in a client’s guest room where there was an empty corner. You need to put a powerful bulb in if you want … Continued
I was just on a girls weekend with some fantastic women and as is bound to happen I picked up a new product. Have to share this with all the ladies out there who like chapstick as much as I do (hello Tahoe winter). Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine. Buy this, right now.
I am always oohing and awing over the sublime rugs from Fort Street Studio. The rugs are like works of art and are so much subtler than your typical contemporary rug. They use the finest silk, which makes for the softest under-foot experience. These are investment pieces, family heirlooms that will be passed down for … Continued
We were in Tulum for the holidays, and we love this area of Mexico. We’ve been to the Riviera Maya four times in recent years, and twice to Tulum. The beaches here have the most gorgeous white powder sand, and the Caribbean waters are breathtaking. We stayed at La Zebra which is rustic and charming … Continued
