Recharged!

I am just getting home from a vacation in San Jaun, Puerto Rico, where we stayed here

It was the perfect relaxing vacation! I am back feeling recharged and ready to start a couple of new exciting projects! It's suppose to be a balmy 50 degrees here tomorrow in the Boston area, spring is just around the corner.

...although looking at my beach pictures, makes me want to plan another trip!

Please log into my facebook page here, to see if you are the winner of the Louie Vuitton, Book.

One Posh Sofa

Tory Burch, looking amazing on her super posh Sofa!

I first saw this sofa in the 2007 Vanity Fair Article on Tory Burch, it's been on my cork board ever since!

The plush velvet, the super deep seating, this sofa has all the bells and whistles -- or in this case all trims and fringes! So, this is a concept I am considering for my living room....still, I think I would do my sofa in this pretty blue...instead of green...and in a slightly less formal way (the trim is less intricate.)

Pillows=Silk Tiger Velvet, Sofa=Blue Velvet

Taking away the Tiger Pillows...and adding cut velvet for pillows.

....I can't do without the tiger pillows, what am I thinking?!?!

Oh and Tory....I love that dress! Somehow it always comes back to dresses for me :)

Happy Friday!

Egerton Hotel - Book Me!

Room at the Egerton - Very, Pierre Frey

Recently I was chatting with travel expert Jonathan Epstein, owner of Celebrated Experiences, as I am planning a trip to England and Scotland this summer. My Mother is of Scottish decent ( I have a Brother that plays the bag pipes and the whole bit) and I have never been to London. I know gasp!

....and well I like the color green, and I have been seriously bitten by the travel bug this winter - so I really need to get this trip in order!

One of the Boutique hotels he suggested was the Egerton Hotel -- and of course I just loved the decor! It's looks like something I would have designed....see below...

Cozy Living Room at the Egerton!

Tea anyone?

This Hotel is so Charming! I hope to be walking through these doors this summer!

What's New?

KMD, Detail Shot Living room in Wellesley - another sneak peek

As you can see the Blog has had a renovation! I love the new look!

Shari from Little Blue Deer gave LWS this crisp new design, the header has pieces of my work and other elements that I love...

Very busy over here working on design projects, working with my graphic designer to finish up the KMD site --- and getting ready to leave for a tropical getaway. Just what the doctor ordered, after this brutal winter!

Other news, I recently designed a piece of furniture which is being produced by a well known local showroom and displayed on their floor, at the Boston Design Center! My first signature designer piece, I can't wait for the reveal of my design.

I will leave you with one of my favorite quote on style.....

Visual Life - The Sartorialist

A very inspirational video from the amazingly talented, Scott Schuman

His blog The Sartorialist is something I look forward to everyday!

Darin Geise: English Country Side in SF

Darin Geise's home, owner of Coupdetat, was recently featured in San Francisco Magazine. As I mentioned in a previous post, Darin started me in the design business, over 10 years ago.

I love the English influence of Darin's layered and cozy Potrero Hill home. The colors are warm and inviting...it's the kind of place you want to come home to, light a fire and put your feet up! It's so Darin's style to take something fresh and fun like the high gloss trellis and layer large scale, serious portraits on top! Darin has always had great style, he is master a making it all look "acquired" and not stuffy.

You can read more about Darin in this article, here, the interview is by the legendary Diane Dorran Saeks.

My first Day of work, I show up a little early and see a lone bag in front of the shop (*Darin must have left to open the doors) the bag looks like this -- and being pretty young at the time, I think this is fabric sample bag or a briefcase of sorts. Then the bag starts Barking (I am really confused) ....Darin appears, let's out little Eleanor - the showroom dog...

Dog that looks like Eleanor, one of Darins pups

How cute is she?!
