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.
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.
Brighton Hammered Pot Bronze Table Lamp from Lamps Plus
For a bright and cheerful kid’s bathroom remodel, I choose these glass wall sconces.
Kichler Braelyn Chrome High Seedy Wall Sconce from Lamps Plus
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.
Jonathan Adler Havana Nickel Plug-In Sconce from Lamps Plus
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.

Thank you to Lamps Plus for hosting us 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!

I am super excited to be heading to Las Vegas next month for KBIS, as a part of the Designhounds group with Modenus. CaesarStone is one of our participating sponsors and I’ve long used the quartz countertop surfaces for many of my interior design projects. One of their latest products is a concrete look, which I happened to learn about a year ago while talking to one of the reps at a design event in Los Angeles. I haven’t yet used this latest collection in a project but it’s been on my radar and I hope to soon! Check out some of these great colors for a concrete look!

See you soon, KBIS!

Design books, filled with all their beautiful photos, are collection pieces. They can be displayed on coffee tables, console tables, bookshelves, desks, stacked, upright, angled. They make for great styling. I’ve collected design books since my youth and have now amassed quite a collection. As much as I scour the Internet for design inspiration I don’t think anything can replace great collector design books. Some of them are special, like my signed copies from designer Kelly Wearstler and my friend, photographer Marcia Prentice. Others are nostalgic like the collection of Terence Conran books I used to look at over and over again in my teens. And others pay homage to my family name, like the stunning work of late portrait and fashion photographer David Seidner.
Some of my favorites are Kelly Wearstler’s early books, like Modern Glamour.
And the follow up to Modern Glamour, her second book, Hue.
If you’re looking for an encyclopedia of art, I cannot recommend this book enough, it’s a huge hardbound coffee table style book depicting artists and their work A-Z.
The Hip Hotels series book are great for sourcing really cool hotels or for a dreamy escape. I’ve many in the whole series that I’ve collected over the years. The Hip Hotels Atlas is probably the biggest, most packed, of the series but they’re all good - City, Escape, Beach, USA, etc.
I have a lot of Keith Haring books, he’s an artist I’ve followed since my teens too and have collected many of his books over time. It’s not shown here on the shelf above, but last year I got to meet Keith Haring’s sister Kay for a signed copy of her book about her brother, “Keith Haring: The Boy Who Just Kept Drawing” - adding that to my collection of special signed books.
Add to the mix are some fun architectural books, like Skyscrapers and a pop up called The Architectural Pack, on the top shelf.
In a tribute to one of the greats in design, is David Hicks: Designer by his daughter Ashley Hicks.
In the realm of fun and inspirational is Jonathan Adler’s book My Prescription For Anti-Depressive Living.
For those who have long followed the blog, Apartment Therapy is another good one.
These selections are just a few of my favorites and long time “go tos” - there are still so many more, maybe a part two to come along with some newer selections as well.

I was recently sent a pair of pillows to try out from Adoric Life Premium Quality Bed Pillows and happily traded out my inexpensive quick fix big box store pillows that I purchased when I moved into my new place just over a year ago.
I love how they were shipped flat, vacuum packed and tied with a pretty bow.
The pillows are super comfy. I’ve been sleeping on them for over a week and finally tossed out my old pillows now that I’m convinced these are keepers. I love that they are hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant too. Gives this clean freak that I am peace of mind. To purchase, click here.
