Weekend Inspiration – Driven to Tears – Robert Downey, Jr and Sting

In the States we tend to define ourselves by what we do for a living.  Therefore, working in any creative field is not easy.  There’s the whole art vs business debate, the struggle to actually make a living, and the fact that most people have no idea what it is you do day-to-day. I sometimes … Continue reading Weekend Inspiration – Driven to Tears – Robert Downey, Jr and Sting

Stylish Simplicity – Palazzo Mirror by Julian Chichester

I love decorating with mirrors.  That said, I’m a little over the sunburst ones.   They are everywhere. I was looking for a mirror for a client, when I saw this beauty from one of my favorite furniture designers, Julian Chichester.

Weekend Inspiration – A Tuscan Fireplace

We were very lucky in Rome this week.  No Polar Vortex.  That said, it’s freezing in the morning. When I saw the picture below I sighed.  Loudly.  I’m pretty sure this fireplace is bigger than my apartment. The fireplace is original to the home.  How gorgeous are these floors? Photo: elledecor.com I hope it warms … Continue reading Weekend Inspiration – A Tuscan Fireplace

My Word For 2014 – Crescere

Happy New Year! Last year my word was, “si.” I took some risks (professionally and personally).  I learned a lot and I’d like to keep this momentum going.  The Italian word for “to grow” is perfect. Other words I considered: Chevron – I don’t care what anyone says.  This print is a classic and will … Continue reading My Word For 2014 – Crescere
