There’s a lot to share about my week in LA (I met Oprah, oh yes I did) but first here’s some decor based pics from my trip- specifically a fantastic day I spent with a LA based reader, Dee who e-mailed me and offered to show me some great places for decor shopping in the area! Not only is it so fun to meet interesting people from all over the country that read this little labor of love, but getting to see where THEY love to shop is the best way to find some gems. We started with brunch at Cecconi’s in West Hollywood- I am OBSESSED with the decor in this place.
{ The Things That Matter } October 9, 2012 Last year, after I appeared as a guest designer on Nate Berkus’s television show, he asked if I would be willing to share my own home in a new coffee table book he was working on. Obviously, I was massively flattered, and I’m so excited to announce that the resulting tome, The Things That Matter , will finally hit shelves next week! In it, you’ll find these and many more photos of my place and 12 other very special nests, with beautifully written stories about the collected mementos that make each house a home. My fellow design junkies may preorder it HERE !
So I may have creeped out my sister yesterday afternoon when I sent her the real estate listing for Claiborne Swanson Frank's stylish New York apartment. I tried to convince her that I was not stalking and that I just happened to stumbled upon it while looking at The Foo Dog Ate My Homework, but I don't think she believed I word I was saying. See I was just trying to help a sista out.
Designers: Lauren Held and Carly Hammerman Location: Financial District, New York, New York Size: 600 square feet Tricky floor plans. A blank slate. A tight budget, and a tight timeline. And purely fictional clients, offering no style starting point in a range of raw and challenging spaces. These were the obstacles faced by five designers tasked with turning five empty apartments into inspiring (and rentable) homes while covering their past lives as office spaces.
Your apartment is charmingly unique, so why would you excpect a manufactured-by-the-hundreds desk to fit your space? It's time to DIY, and here's a creative project for a narrow desk with some hidden storage crafted from IKEA pieces. Tee from Alberta, Canada, submitted their franken-desk to IKEA Hackers, made from a white MALM Ocassional Table ( $79.99 ) and one white VIKA ANNEFORS Table Leg with Storage ( $40 ). They completed the desk with a sliding keyboard tray made from a flat shelf and drawer slider hardware, and the compact IKEA NILS stool ( $44.99 ) tucked under the desktop. Slim desks are a great solution for people with small spaces. If you're rocking a laptop or a flat computer or monitor, you'll still have plenty of room to spread out and get work done.
Few things are more satisfying than growing your own food. Few things are more frustrating than being a garden lover trapped in a teeny-tiny apartment. What to do? Here are some gardening projects that will work on even the smallest patio or balcony...plus tips for growing citrus indoors if you don't have a balcony at all. 1.
I know some of you still have snow on the ground, but for us Floridians summer is already kicking into high gear.

When it comes to home office organization, things can get tricky if you have an unconventional desk or are short on space. Instead of figuring out how to stuff things in drawers, try displaying them instead with a simple spice rack. The fine folks over at Redbook suggest this method of storage for all sorts of small things around the home.

February 1st, 2011 As I’ve mentioned before, I’m organizationally challenged, which is why I hired heather|brookes interior organization to help me with my closet and office (which you can see here ). There are a lot of great qualities about our new place; the exposed beams in our living room , the built-in bookshelves and curved archways throughout . But I’ll admit the biggest selling point was the walk-in closet in the master bedroom (my fiancé generously took the two closets in the guest room). Here are a few guidelines I now follow to keep everything in order.
