The other evening I was out walking in my neighborhood while on the way to a design event, on nearby Beverly Boulevard. Along the way I stopped to photograph some of the amazing beautiful old buildings in the La Brea and Beverly Boulevard neighborhood of Los Angeles. This particular street is lined with an eclectic mix of quitenessetial old LA style. Here’s a little photographic tour... Lush landscape covers the facade of a building presumably from the 1940’s era. A building I assume was built around the 1930’s or 40’s. The details of this building feels so European. An early Spanish style building. Another Spanish style with intricate tile detail. Another building I believe from the 1940’s. Another Spanish style. A grouping of Normandy style buildings. Streamline Moderne right on the same street!

Roche Bobois has launched a new furnishings collection with designer Marcel Wanders. To celebrate, Roche Bobois and Architectural Digest hosted an event at the magical Houdini Estate in Hollywood’s infamous Laurel Canyon. It was an amazing party filled with creativity transporting us through three countries and their cities: Istanbul, Paris, and London for the “Globe Trotter” theme. We began in “Istanbul” where there was a hookah lounge set up on the entry level. Which also included a spread of Turkish deserts, nuts and spices along with Turkish coffee. The lush grounds of the Houdini Estate took us to the next level via steep steps and a bridge. The background on the second level was “Paris” with park benches and bistro chairs and tables, music and a mime. A stage was set up showcasing the new Globe Trotter furnishings collection by Marcel Wanders A map of the estate and themed areas which also included activities, such as an area where you could make your own perfume. On the top level was “London” which included a fun Polaroid photo booth. It was a fun night with design friends (l-r): Edith Ponciano, Giuseppe Colucci, Kam Kamran, and Allan Dallatorre. And with the designer himself - Marcel Wanders! (Whom I first had the pleasure of meeting back in 2012 on Blog Tour London.)
One of the biggest parties of the year took place during the Pacific Design Center’s annual Fall Market. As a much anticipated event, we celebrated the Lifetime Achievement Award Honoring Rocky LaFleur, our design community icon. I was fortunate enough to attend the party with many of my friends and colleagues. In addition, my friend Allan of LA Event Lights provided the spectacular lighting for the evening - illuminating the entire fifth level double height atrium of the Pacific Design Center. Here is a before picture of the corridor space on the fifth and sixth levels of the Pacific Design Center that was transformed for the night’s party. The space is illuminated by lighting, including custom GoBo projections for the sponsors. The attendees filled the space which included a center bar and stage. All of the lighting is LED production and 90% battery operated technology. With the honory guest of the evening, Rocky LaFleur (center) along with design friends (l-r): Lynnea Schweiters, Gregory Firlotte, and Amanda Neistat. Both Gregory and Amanda helped in putting together the event for the big night. And great job to LA Event Lights for the amazing lighting display! Such a fun and celebratory night!
The Inside and Homepolish have teamed up to release a line of furnishings by Los Angeles based interior designer, Katherine Carter. The collection features textiles, wall covering, pillows, and furniture all for a very affordable price point that is cool, contemporary, and should I just add - very, very chic. Shop these throw pillows on The Inside - “Black Fracture” by Homepolish, 20” square with feather insert for $49. Loving these removable wallpapers (need for my own place!) that I got to preview in person this past week at The Inside x Homepolish event. How cool is this marble fabric upholstered platform bed from the collection!? I love it! I got to test out these chairs in person too at the event - for $399 they are a steal! The pretty patterned removable wallpaper collection. Thank you to The Inside and Homepolish for hosting us! It was a beautiful evening setting from the Hills Penthouse West Hollywood!
