This past week I had the opportunity to check out Rewire Gallery on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles when I stopped by for a special event with friends.

The event featured the lighting design collection Tekio by designer Anthony Dickens.

More unique collections of floor lamps, table lamps, pendants, and sconces.

For a second time, I had the opportunity to visit the lovely people at the Costa Mesa Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Showroom for the “Live Deliciously” event with corporate Chef Molly.

The pretty and festive table set for our intimate group!

We had a little interactive cooking demo, with the help of Chef Molly we prepped some of the ingredients for our pizzas while learning about the cooking process with hands on appliance experience.

The table set, candles lit, followed by an amazing dinner (thanks to Chef Molly) and great conversation (so happy to be getting to know everyone who works at the Costa Mesa showroom) - which is stunning and worth a visit (you too can experience the cooking demos and food tastings!).

We all had a great time!

​Thank you Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove!

Last week I attended an event at the beautiful historic Beverly Hills Women’s Club on behalf of Women In Luxury Design.

Renowned architect Marc Appleton gave an amazing inspiring talk about woman who’ve become successful architects, stemming from the days when it was a more male dominated field.

Luxe Interiors + Design magazine was among one of the several event sponsors.

And beautiful floral arrangements from the Empty Vase.

There are many options for designing closets and closet door styles. Recently, I helped a client revamp their existing bedroom closet and one of the challenges was coming up with alternatives for the closet doors that were not a standard flat panel white closet door as well as a look to work with the existing bedroom (which we’d worked on prior); the closet redesign came after.

A variety of closet designs and door style concepts.

To help convey ideas & directions for the project, I put together these concept boards for my client for feedback. They opted to go with a wood stain door frame inset with mirrors. The wood finish ties in with bedroom furnishings they just had refinished and the mirrors are practical as full length mirrors. An added bonus is that the closet runs along a narrow hallway and as they say, mirrors help give the appearance of more spaciousness.

These shutter style slat doors are something unique.

If you’re looking for something fun and graphic, could always wallpaper too!
