When you put one of the chicest, coolest designers in charge of creative direction at one of the chicest and coolest brands you get perfection.  Miles and ODLR have done it again.  The new ODLR home line is stunning and I can’t wait to own a set of this gorgeous collection.  Take a look at the genius behind the making here and shop for your next table setting so that you’re guaranteed to wow your guests.  Miles has plenty of tips to share so there are no excuses for a poorly executed party!

Gisele Taranto

17 Mar

I’ve been hooked lately on discovering cool designers and architects from Brazil – there is so much inspiring Brazilian talent in these fields! Another I discovered recently is architect Gisele Taranto. Her portfolio features several contemporary spaces that are creative in their execution and takes advantage of the beauty outdoors which I think is absolutely necessary in a country that is so freaking beautiful.

White Box

1 Mar

I couldn’t live there, but I’d definitely think up reasons to come visit several times a week. There’s such an Old World sensibility going on — it’s disappearing as a naturally-produced look so, much like breeding endangered animals in zoos, I’m glad that there are designers who bring so much talent to bringing it to life. Color with gravitas – not easy to deliver these days. And the necessary update is subtle, but so, so fluffy! The bath is in the bedroom, isn’t it? And why not! My only grumble (and I can see the visual reason, so it’s a tiny grumble) are books out of reach.

I got my hands on some photos from the latest issue of Australian online magazine Adore Home, and if you’re into colour then this issue is absolutely a must read. Even if you’re not the spaces featured are so fabulous that you should read it anyway. :) Seriously though, I am thoroughly impressed with this mag, and was stoked to hear from founder Loni Parker that she’s trying to raise funds for an Adore Home book later this year (details here). Sweet! In the meantime, here’s a peek into this latest issue (including a home designed by one of our all-time fav designers Greg Natale).

Olioboard Holiday Entertaining Design Contest Winner!

7 Feb

I am happy to announce the winner of Olioboard’s Holiday Entertaining Design contest that I took part in judging. So many fantastic and creative design boards were submitted (which made it a challenge to select just one!). However, one lucky winner was announced last week…

The winner: “A Blue Christmas” with My Two Designers by Olioboard member Anne.

Here are some of the other great design boards that made the top eight (you’ll see why it was hard to choose!):

“Relax & Enjoy” by Allison.

Another from winner Anne, “White Christmas.”

“Cozy Cool Christmas”

To view the other runners up, visit the Olioboard website here.
