A ROOM WITHOUT A VIEW

We all have that problem window, weather it's a lackluster view or worse the neighbor with opposing window. This is my latest design to solve that problem. I used a resin panel with natural thatch grass embedded between two sheets one clear and the other opaque. The result let's all the natural light in, blocks the neighbor and creates a wonderful focal point in this dining room. See more of the 3-from collection here.

ART IN THE HIGH DESERT

Lauri Chambers

Leif Holland








This weekend I was fortunate to spend time with friends viewing some very nice art in Bend. The second annual "Art in the High Desert" was held along the banks of the Deschutes river. This is a juried fine art and craft festival with over 100 artists from around the country. A couple of my favorite artists are shown here.

Leif Holland creates beautiful "botanical sculpture" If you know me, you can see why I love his work. You can find Leif Holland, here

Lauri Chambers creates these fantastic hats! they are works of art each and every one. When surrounded by Lauri's work one has the biggest smile, What could be better than that! Find Lauri here.

MY LITTLE CORNER OF PARADISE

A few visual moments from the garden and new sculpture, INSPIRING!

WORKING + VACATION

While it's been hovering around 100 degrees in Central Oregon, I'm heading to Laguna Beach for some inspiration ! I will be staying at this fabulous location while working on a new project for this client.

See you all in mid- August with more thoughts + posts + inspiration

ARTIST OF THE MONTH + SUE SKELLY

Years ago I found this wonderful artist Sue Skelly from the Pacific Northwest. She works in natural elements like redwood vines and creates beautiful garden ornaments. This photo shows one of my clients gardens with a Skelly sculpture 60" sphere. WOW! When I return from my "working vacation" I will share more photos of her work. CIAO!

ROOTS

I found these incredible petrified roots at the D.A.O. gallery (Design Around Objects) I have them hanging on my dining room wall ( they replace the Marcia Meyrs painting) I think I like it even better ! When your in L.A. next check out D.A.O. on Beverly Blvd just off Robertson.
