How about some gorgeous residential photography to end off the work week. Today’s talent is Nikolas Koenig, a German currently living in New York who happens to have photographed some of the most stunning and spectacular homes I’ve seen (for the likes of Architectural Digest, Conde Nast Traveler, GQ and Wallpaper). I’ll take one of each please! (P.S. I blogged a couple of funky apartments last night if you’d like to check them out over on kim’s page.)

As the story often goes, what hits the runways is often hitting the shelter mags and blogosphere as well. I am loving this spring’s trends, especially the bold hue color blocking and of course, orange! Orange has long been my signature color, so I’m glad it’s getting the recognition it deserves 
These trends are accompanied by many other exciting ones as well, such as futuristic prints and pastels. I love that there is great variety this season, proving there really is something for everyone to wear. Oh, and to put into their home too!

It has been quite a few eventful days this past week with WestWeek taking place, two days and three nights of back to back showroom events and parties! Here’s a recap of my WestWeek highlights!
Starting with a kick off party at interior designer Michael Smith’s showroom, Jasper, hosted by Margaret Russell and Architectural Digest magazine.
My friends Morgan and Christian of Maison21 at the Jasper Showroom / Architectural Design party.

The next day I ventured over to the Pacific Design Center to take part in the events as an “official” blogger for WestWeek. (Thanks to Crestron and Andrew Martin for sponsoring.)
One of my first stops was to drop by the Thomas Lavin showroom to check out the new lighting pieces designed by Kevin Kolanowski of Fuse Lighting. Kevin was at the showroom to give a tour of his new selections loved this wall sconce!
Next stop, was the Duralee Fabrics showroom for the John Robshaw textiles preview and an event with HipSwap co-hosted with Turquoise. I met up with Alissa from The Goods Design and Christian of Maison21 (standing in front of the new John Robshaw fabrics).

In between events, Christian and I browsed a few of the design showrooms, stopping in at the David Sutherland showroom. While he was checking out the Perennials outdoor fabrics, I was checking out some of the dramatic lighting like this chandelier.
Following the California Home + Design “Rise of the Rock Star Designer” keynote, the Andrew Martin showroom held a reception party. Pictured here is Typhanie of Shoebox Decor, Christian of Maison21, & Matt Locke of Design Star.

After the Andrew Martin cocktail party, we decided to leave the PDC and “hit the street” where we walked down Melrose Avenue to the Dennis & Leen open house.
While the interiors of the Dennis & Leen showroom are gorgeous, I took respite in the courtyard with the koi pond.
Next we headed back up Melrose Avenue to stop by the Rose Tarlow Melrose House cocktail party.
Turns out, there was a little surprise at the Rose Tarlow showroom fashion designer James Galanos (also known as Nancy Reagan’s dress designer) happen to be there. Here he is pictured with Christian.
Our last stop of the first day of WestWeek events was the House Beautiful party hosted by interior designer Peter Dunham of Hollywood at Home.
With more events and showroom open houses taking place on day two of WestWeek, I held out for the grand finale “rock star of parties” the coveted Restoration Hardware party, complete with greige “red” carpet arrivals and guest list only invites.
The event was also to benefit LACMA (The Los Angeles County Museum of Art) and celebs came out to lend their support. Pictured here is actress Elizabeth Banks with model/actress Milla Jovovich.
Also in attendance, Restoration Hardware Chairman and Co-CEO Gary Friedman.
Party ambiance inside the Restoration Hardware store located on Beverly Boulevard in West Hollywood.

My favorite: the graffiti wall in the courtyard at Restoration Hardware.
