what i have been doing this week...

I have been so busy lately, guys! This week has been a shopping spree, both for clients and for myself... First, inspired by this brass chair that I have always loved -

I found one that was even better on Ebay and was the only bidder so I wasn't vigilant, went about my business at night, and lost it!! So angry! I was going to put this fabric on it - it's a Sunbrella!


Anyhoo, that's a bust - but I am still selling my antique chairs that I covered in the Kelly Wearstler fabric - if you or a client are interested let me know!


When I was clothes shopping the other night I could not get over this huge blue murano chandelier - at Victoria's on Magazine Street in New Orleans. It came with the building when she bought it - can you imagine? Gorgeous!



I cannot stop thinking about huge olive jars. Lots of people have them here out in their courtyards or in traditional spaces - but I would love a large one as a rough counterpoint to a slick white interior, the way Darryl Carter does it...


I had a great old photograph of my grandfather in his football uniform restored and blown up - can't wait to have it framed to show you guys. Now inspired by this picture:


I want to blow up this image:


I also got an amazing gray houndstooth for a pillow for a modern boy's nursery - that is still under wraps for now. But check out my boo boo - fell down while jogging last night so I am scraped up all over and sad I will have bandages during my Dominican Republic trip next week! ugh!


Hope you guys are having an amazing week...

I can't tell you how much I adore that brass chair. And I hope your boo boo clears up before your beach vacation!

love it, love all of it. What a bummer about the chairs!

As for the other ones, what are the dimensions? Wondering if I can somehow work them into this living room design I am doing.

Thanks, Naomi - I will have to measure the back height, etc.. but the seat is a little lower than standard - like 16 or 17" so would have to be side chairs or desk chairs, not dining or anything...
