All went out the window when I got the opportunity from HBA Design to work on a dining space for DIFFA’s Dining By Design event in NYC. I am actually [...]

Well, the chairs finally got their makeover! I know, I know, it took me long enough. Where does the time go? Here they [...]

Sneak Peek

January 28, 2011

Alright, alright…you have all been asking where the pics are of my new little beach apartment. It is not quite finished yet but here’s a sneak peek of the decorating progress so far.

It’s A Jungle Out There

August 13, 2010

Last week was killer. I was feeling more YB&D than ever or maybe overworked, underpaid, and well uninspired is a better description. As 9:00 pm rolled around Thursday night and I was still sitting in the brown cube, I again started with the bare-foot/Bali/furniture making scenario. This time I added bamboo hut and selling mai [...]
