Raise the Roop

It has been brought to my attention that I cannot spell. For that I apologize. I do not wear my glasses because I am terribly vain. So when "he" says I misspelled my blog title this time I will be right:) I want to call your attention to the work of Frank Roop. I love his work. The neutral walls with bright pops of color and clean fresh interiors full of interesting art and carefully selected accessories are inspiring. Enjoy a few of my favorites. Happy...

L.A. Design Shopping, Part 1

I am heading to L.A. at the end of February to attend the Design Bloggers Conference. I am beyond excited. The speakers and attendees alone are well worth the trip also a chance to visit all the amazing design shops. These are a few on my current itinerary from my last visit and few new ones. I know I have lots to add but, here is a start. Todd Alexander Romano had great antiques and art. Chic Shop in Brentwood is must see. Owned by a college friend, Hillary Thomas of Hillary Thomas Designs. She and Clara Hendon are such fun! Harbinger and Lucus Studio Inc. are a great stop in Almont Yard. This is also co-owned by another sorority sister,...

Beautiful Two Paths Painting with Butterflies Book available here along with original art and T-shirts. The scale of these pieces are amazing. A picture of Damien Hirst in front of the foil "the Souls." Limited Edition Print – I saw the foil shimmers in person. AMAZING. Available at DTR Modern Galleries in Palm Beach. That is where I saw them. Telegraph image Even the poster from the show was beautiful from Gagosian Gallery. The amazing apartment of Daphne Guinness from Architectural Digest. (...
