I’ve always had a love for contemporary abstract art and often specify for clients, whether their homes are modern or transitional. It just seems to be a medium that ties in so well with a variety of styles adding color and vibrancy.

Recently, I was introduced to the work of artist Anne B. Schwartz. Anne is a Los Angeles based painter whose abstractionist painterly imagination remains grounded in the world of places and things.

Ricordi d’Italia:

The collection Ricordi d'Italia, merges her explorations of the mellifluous properties of color, light, and surface with direct inspiration drawn from travels to Italy.

​Crystal Aura:

The Burst collection, is an intimate selection of works from Ricordi d'Italia enlarged into wholly new paintings, compositions with exotic rhythms that are deeply influenced by Schwartz’s studies of Asian Sumi-e ink painting.

​Anne welcomes inquiries and collaborations with designers, collectors, and galleries.

If you’re interested in purchasing any of the artwork seen here or on the artist’s website here, please contact her directly here.

​(*Please note the inventory of available paintings fluctuates. If these specific pieces are not available they can be custom made. Please inquire for more info.)

In conjunction with KBIS in Las Vegas next week, January 21-23, the International Builders Show (IBS) will also be taking place. I attended KBIS last year and crossed over to IBS checking out all the many suppliers for the home building industry. It’s fascinating to learn about new products and see all the many materials available to the industry. One company I am looking forward to visiting at IBS is the supplier Door Stud, which is a door installation tool that revolutionizes how builders install pre-hung or slab doors.

A range of products are available which includes the standard at just $249.99 and a commercial grade door installation tool for heavier doors. A quick door installation kit is also available to expedite the door hanging process for professional builders, which allows for hanging doors five times faster.

They have 2 main products for your door installation needs (sold in pairs):

• Standard/Residential 1-3/8” to 1-3/4”
• Heavy/Commercial 1-3/4” to 2-1/4”

For the DIY, the Door Stud features some instructional info and tips on their blog and for more product info visit their Instagram here.

Understanding door types is extremely important too for installation, everything from interior to exterior doors, to pre-hung and slab doors. I know I’ve had my fair share of door installation problems in past projects - especially in older homes - so a product like the Door Stud offers assistance for the variety of door types in project installation.

Looking forward to visiting Door Stud this coming week at the International Builders Show. They will be in booth number SU3816 if you are attending and would like to learn more about the product.

Happy to be included as a contributor in Fixr.com report, “Paint and Color Trends in 2020”. Read the full report here!

A concept to love: growing food right in your own kitchen.

This innovation is from the company Natufia which offers the ability to grow produce right in your own kitchen with their integrated system. An aesthetically well designed unit can be incorporated into your kitchen design, with pods and plants to choose from, growing in an automated environment. Once produce is ready to harvest, you can pick - just as you would from a garden.

The units are designed of high-grade stainless steel and ceramics for durability and aesthetics. The compact component can merge seamlessly with your kitchen design. In addition, Natufia is sustainable and environmental friendly. There is no packaging, waste, or logistics.

There are thirty-two pods available and plenty of room for larger plants with robust automatics to maintain the perfect environment. Having food harvested right before consuming provides unparalleled freshness and taste with all nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. An undeniable luxury: fresh food year round, no seasons or weather changes. Additionally, the produce is grown from the highest quality Demeter seeds without pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides.

Natufia believes you can transform your life by growing food in your kitchen. Natufia Hydroponic Home Kitchen Garden was created to offer families a holistic solution to healthy living. Natufia makes it possible to grow food to scale all of your produce needs right at home.

Natufia will also be at KBIS taking place in Las Vegas next week. I’m looking forward to visiting their booth and stay tuned for more social media posting when I am there visiting live!

I recently came across the company Docking Drawer. They are the creator and market leader of in-drawer electrical outlets, with patented and simple-to-specify solutions which offer a reliable way to add movable drawer outlets safely, while keeping your spaces organized. ​Docking Drawer offer a variety of solutions designed to fit into all types of cabinets and countertops which can be installed in your home’s kitchen and bathroom as well as in custom furnishings.

They offer a variety of in-drawer power outlets for items like hairdryers, curling irons, etc. For a full list of the collection, view here.

For charging outlets, they offer a selection for tablets, laptops, cell phones. These are a great way to customize furniture in your home for an organized and clutter free environment.

Charging and power outlets for built-in closets are a convenient way to charge up the gadgets that make their way to your closet and also items like running watches that are stored there.

For great desk organization, these are a must! There is just too much taking over the surface of a desk, especially when it comes to cords.

Docking Drawer are also great for commercial and retail applications. Specifying outlets and charging stations requires design planning and locations and integral part of the as built drawing process.

Docking Drawer will also be an exhibitor at KBIS in Las Vegas this month. I’m looking forward to stopping by their booth and will be posting live from the show!
