And, some good karma landed us [...]

July 29, 2011

Ever go on a date with your city? I used to go on dates with Hong Kong all the time when I lived there. Wander around with no real destination, check out a few art galleries, pop in for some breakie with friends. It is amazing how different life is now. When there’s nothing going on in [...]

July 17, 2011

A Design Q&A. From a YB&D gal in Chicago. The question: which tile to choose for her new kitchen back splash. The answer: oh if only it were as easy as just picking one.

Design Dilemma: Balance

July 9, 2011

I received an email this week from a friend in ATL! A fellow southerner who needed a little advice on how to give her living room some much needed dimension and texture. “I need more dimension…more picture frames on my wall, maybe? More pillows?” She also mentioned that she is not totally in love with the frame on her current piece [...]

Miles and Miles

June 11, 2011

I have been a traveling fool these last few weeks. Las Vegas was first on the list. Off to the Hospitality Design Expo. I arrived and headed to the Sands with my colleagues to get a first look at all the fun new products. With over 900 exhibitors, it felt like we would never see it all. Of [...]

From My Desk:Outdoor Cool

May 13, 2011

Recently, I celebrated the entrance into my last year as a twenty-something and I couldn’t help but feel totally anxious about the milestone age that is rapidly approaching. What is it about nearing 30 that makes us spiral into life crisis? Aren’t the thirty-something’s supposed to be the new twenty-something’s? I think back to ten years ago and how I imagined or I guess [...]
