Latin Food Fest Recap

3/31/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
Over the weekend I attended the Latin Food Fest held at the Los Angeles Historic Park. We lucked out because the weather was amazing and it was a beautiful, sunny, warm, yet cool day to be outside enjoying great food and perhaps, a few too many drinks. Great wines (from the likes of Argentina & Spain) and seemingly, lots of tequila was flowing.
Picture
We had the privilege of getting into the VIP tent which had some extra great chefs and food samplings. Probably one of my most favorite was the scallops with mole verde, shishotos, radish, snap peas, & hoja santos from Hoja Blanco. Definitely a winner for me!

Marciano Art Foundation Visit

3/31/2019

Picture
This past week I visited the Marciano Art Foundation for the first time, a Los Angeles museum I had been wanting to check out for quite some time.
Picture
It’s free to visit with an advanced reservation, the days are limited to later in the week and weekends, but that wasn’t a problem. I ended up going on a beautiful Spring weekday afternoon and it was quite nice!
Picture
The foundation is housed in what is a former Masonic Temple in mid-city LA. You can read more about the history of the building here.
Picture
The museum includes a lobby level, mezzanine with the Masonic archives, and two upper level galleries.
Picture
The lobby entrance showcases the two large abstracts above.
Picture
I thought this installation featuring the work of Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone was really cool.
Picture
Picture
The highly anticipated and very popular Yayoi Kusama exhibition did not disappoint. Fun to see in person and take pictures!

Love the contemporary work of American artist Barbara Kruger, above and below.

I am looking forward to attending the 83rd MIDA event in Florence, Italy next month. I will be attending on behalf of Promo Firenze, Florence Chamber of Commerce, and the Italian Trade Agency.
Picture
The artisan fair features 600 exhibitors and represents fifty countries. As part of our visit we will be given a hosted tour of the fair.
Picture
During our two day tour we will be introduced to the local handi-craft through the “Meet the Artisans” program.
Picture
Now in it’s 83rd edition, the Florence International Artisan Fair has been completely renovated, reverting to its original purpose: a platform for featuring the finest Italian and international crafts.
Picture
During the fair, two major exhibitions will be focusing on Florentine and Tuscan crafts.
Picture
Picture
I am looking forward to my first trip to Florence, Italy next month and being a part of the “Meet The Artisans 2019” group!

Chicago + Monogram Appliances

This past week I had the opportunity to participate in a designer training program on behalf of Monogram Appliances at their design center located on the first floor of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago.
Picture
As part of the two day event, we learned in depth about the Monogram line of products as well as got to experience them via cooking demos and our own hands-on cooking experiences. Pictured here with my cooking partner in crime, Anna Gibson.

Just outside of the Merchandise Mart on a beautiful spring day is the Chicago River ...still a little green from St. Patrick’s Day.
Picture
Fun with friends and fellow designers Anna, Florence, me, and Gustavo - checking out The Bean in Millennium Park.

Thank you to Monogram Appliances and Chef Jon for hosting us!

SLS Las Vegas

Last month while in Vegas to attend KBIS, we got to stay at the very cool chic Philippe Starck designed hotel, SLS Las Vegas. It’s in a great location if you are in town to attend a tradeshow because it’s very close to the Las Vegas Convention Center. Compared to many of the other hotels on The Strip, it is slightly smaller in scale yet still offers many amenities. I actually prefer the smaller scale and the convenience to many of the restaurants and morning coffee stop. It has an outpost of some favorite LA eateries , including: Katsuya, Cleo, and the more casual 800° Pizza. I also liked that to get to many of these places you did not have to walk far or through a very smoky casino.
Picture
The room I stayed in certainly reflects the Philippe Starck style. The walls are lined with a graphic wallpaper, there are several mirrors around which also light up, and the TV is also mounted on a mirror.
Picture
The bathroom is cool, crisp, and bright with some standard whimsical Starck touches. Often seen in Starck designs is his Axor lavatory faucet, such as in this picture, a line designed by Starck.
Picture
Again keeping with the Starck touches is a creative whimsical printed shade for the window treatments. Beyond that was this view from my bed! (Below.)

Instagram Round Up from Designhounds at KBIS

It was great to be a among one of of the biggest group of influencers I’ve ever taken part in, being included in this year’s Designhounds group attending the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas. We had such an amazing group of twenty-four girls along with Sara, Florence, and Veronika from Modenus. I had so much fun getting to know these girls and making new friends!

Thought I would share a round up of Instagram posts by my fellow Designhounds. After a whirlwind few days together it was fun to go back and look at what everyone posted, through their insights and finds from, what is, the biggest kitchen and bath trade show. So much to see and cover, that whatever it was I may have missed, was bound to catch the eye of someone else!

Sponsor Highlight: Lamps Plus

3/9/2019

During our visit to KBIS last month, our Designhounds group got an exclusive booth tour with one of our sponsors, Lamps Plus. I have long sourced from this local, Southern California based company for many of my design projects. I’ve found that you can find almost anything you are looking for on the website and most items are well priced, with almost always something to fit a specific budget. Over the years Lamps Plus has been a go to source for me for anything from sconces for bathroom renovations, pendants or chandeliers for dining areas, table lamps for bedrooms and living rooms, and so much more. Within the selections, you can also find some designer styles, two of my favorites: George Kovacs and Jonathan Adler. Plus they have more than just lighting, furnishings ranging from home accents, art, & decor and furniture are available too.
Picture
Looking back to some of the project concept boards I’ve done, you can find some great Lamps Plus finds. For this bedroom furnishings concept board I selected a hammered bronze table lamp for bedside table lamps.
Picture
Brighton Hammered Pot Bronze Table Lamp from Lamps Plus
Picture
For a bright and cheerful kid’s bathroom remodel, I choose these glass wall sconces.
Picture
Kichler Braelyn Chrome High Seedy Wall Sconce from Lamps Plus
Picture
For this breakfast room concept board, I chose plug in sconces as a practical lighting solution since the client currently does not want to hardwire for any electrical. These cool vibe sconces are by Jonathan Adler and available on the Lamps Plus site.
Picture
Jonathan Adler Havana Nickel Plug-In Sconce from Lamps Plus
Picture
In this kitchen remodel finish selections concept board, I choose these pendants for over the island - the black finish ties in great with the hardware too.
