Lulu DK Child for Schumacher

Lulu deKwiatowski is known for her vibrant colors and gleeful patterns.  It's no wonder that her playful designs have transformed into a children's fabric collection.  Introducing, Lulu DK Child for Schumacher




This new collection offers everything stylish mommies will want in their baby's nursery.  Though the designs are fun and perfect for a baby's room, there's a sophistication about them that makes them not too "babyish."  (If that makes sense). 





 All too often, it's difficult to find a stylish pattern for a nursery that isn't typical baby pink and pale blue.   The Lulu DK child collection provides fun prints that could also be used in a non-childish way.  They're very translatable to any room or accessory in the house. 




















For further look into the eight prints and seven embroideries that are available with the Lulu DK Child for Schumacher collection, look here

Jamie Drake-Design Soulmate

Ever spot a designer's work and feel that you were instant design soulmates?  As if everything you'd longed to be and lusted after...you'd found suddenly right in that one designer. 
Jamie Drake is mine. He playfully uses color as his design canvas. He's not afraid to mix color palettes and prints. In fact, he is often called the King of Color.  And I am smitten. 
Jamie Drake Kips Bay Showhouse, NYC (Thank you Nick Johnson)
I initially discovered him in Decor for his design at the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Showhouse (2007). My eye caught this vibrant plush cranberry pink checked bedframe and it was love at first sight


But Drake has been around the block in the design world.  He's a prominent NYC based designer.  He studied at Parson's School of Design.  He's designed homes for Madonna and NYC Mayor Bloomberg.  His use of color is equisite.  His attention to detail is paramount.  His rooms translate personality.  Love the vibrant colors. 


Right up my alley! 


Indulge!

Golden Girl Glory


Remember Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia? 
Ah, the glorious Golden Girls spent their retirement lounging in their Florida condo drinking coffee and gossiping. 

I love vintage Palm beach decor...
basket weave and palm leaves
trellis and wicker 




There's something nostalgic yet refreshing about it.

Like Betty White,
never quite goes out of style...
