SUZANI SETTEE - NEW ORIGINAL PAINTING
I just completed this 12x12 original painting of a French settee covered in a suzani-patterned fabric. The background is a strie effect in blue.
It's for sale in my shop here.
Have a fantastic Monday!
EDGEWATER STUDIOS - TILE WITH STYLE
Subway, schmubway. Forget about generic tile choices and check out these innovative and majorly chic options from Edgewater Studios. These are glass tiles that steal the show. I am especially loving the Madeira (top) and Bathos as part of the Art Glass Collections, but I think you should decide for yourself which is most attractive. Check them all out here.
I am headed out of town, but will see you back here on Monday! Have a terrific October weekend!

I hope that you all have an outstanding weekend and I will see you on Monday!
ELLE DECOR FASHION ISSUE
The October issue of Elle Decor is an especially juicy one that features the homes of some fashion industry leaders such as Ralph Lauren, Frederic Fekkai and Jeanine Lobell, whose living room is featured in the above photo (by William Waldron).
The Lobell/Edwards residence is full of light, style and verve and the best part: they show a LOT of rooms, which is something you don't often see when a magazine does a spread on someone's home. Designer Rafael Cardenas really infused their living environment with joi de vivre.....check it out for yourself on the newsstand or online here.
CATCH-UP
I hope that you had a good weekend! I am a little behind as I was out of town and am now trying to play catch-up with correspondence and work on a large scale commission that's due soon!
I love this room by designer Tracey Garet. the colors are great and that velvet sofa is calling me....looks to me like a perfect place to spend a few hours devouring some design books and my favorite magazines.
LET THEM EAT CAKE
I want to wish you all a wonderful weekend. I thought I'd end the week on a sweet note with a photo by my brother, Jeremy. Love that cake! See more of his work here.

I just love it when I get an email from a happy customer who wants to show me how they've hung my work in their home, office or apartment. These photos are from Erin White in Virginia who has framed several of my chair prints very creatively. The bright hues of the prints really pop on the neutral gray walls. Thank you, Erin!

A BLONDE MOMENT
I must've been standing on my head lately because I have had a series of what some like to call "blonde moments". I completely forgot to announce the winner of the Dolce Dreams Give-Away yesterday as I had promised. I would like to congratulate Loui - you are the winner!
A huge thanks to Nathalie at Dolce Dreams for sponsoring the generous give-away.
**On a side note, I have been struggling with some carpal tunnel issues recently, so please forgive my lack of response to your comments. I am trying to nip a case of CTS in the bud by taking it easy with my keyboard. I do appreciate all of your comments and will get around to visiting your blogs again soon!
GOT KURTA?
I love this sunny yellow printed kurta from Roberta Roller Rabbitt - perfect with a pair of leggings.
Roberta Roller Rabbitt has so many great prints in such great colors.......FOR YOU AND YOUR HOME!
Great print in green for peppy table napkins and some playful and color-juiced choices for her line of home accessories. It's Palm Beach meets Boca Grande meets La Jolla kind of a look for relaxed and cheery living.
See them all for yourself right here
