Most designers in Europe are known for their pared down style. Some might call it modern but for me, and Spanish designer Lorenzo Castillo, “less is a bore.” He’s been featured in countless shelter mags like Architectural Digest, Vogue, Elle Decor and House & Garden. His style is exuberant. In some case, even […]
Last week I posted about my sister’s apartment redo and, as promised, wanted to show you how gorgeous her new chair turned out. This is the before – crappy paint job – ill fitting cushion.
And the AFTER: Gorgeous paint job – custom upholstered cushion. Voila!
This is an easy risotto made with ingredients that are almost always on hand. I guess I sort of look at rice like a blank canvas, so as soon as I had opted for the red, I felt it need to be balanced by something green which is when I settled on sweet green peas. […]
Yesterday I popped into Osborne and Little’s Munich showroom because I want to have a couple of poofs made and was looking for some fabric to cover them. Let me tell you folks, I died and went to my version of heaven. Their new collection is absolutely gorgeous. Its colorful, bold and sexy and my […]
Folks, I’ve been waylaid by life, work and all that jazz. It all started with Spring vacation and took a steady and quick downward spin, dwindling off into dribs and drabs as of late. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy… I have! For instance, I’ve been redecorating my sister Sue’s small Florida apartment. She’s […]

This recipe utilizes the natural sweetness in cauliflower and onions. It really shines through when you slowly sauté them so that their sugars caramelize. Even confirmed cauliflower haters will like this recipe. Its a quick and easy one dish meal that would be perfect to make for a weekday family meal but is still luscious […]
It’s pouring rain here and our beautiful sun is nowhere to be seen. It’s the kind of weather that makes you just want to put a log on the fire and curl up with a good book. In other words, perfect weather for comfort food. As much as I love risotto, I’ve never really relished […]
Along with changing colors Fall also brings lots of rainy days and these are perfect for getting rid of stuff and reorganizing. Now, there’s organization and then there’s beautiful and uncluttered and that’s really what I’m going for here with this post. Organization doesn’t have to be utilitarian and boring. It can be fun and […]
Usually, I hate Halloween decorating (its so kitchy) however, lately I’ve been running across such pretty and unique things that I just had to post about them. Naturally, I found them all on etsy, my new obsession, but more about that in another post. Now, onto Halloween decorations. If you’re into spooky stuff, you might […]
