Sick and Awesome...and Completely Random

I've got a ton of posts to share with you guys, but today I've had to do some research for a couple of projects and I'm really suffering from design ADD.  So I want to share the random fabulous things I've found instead of posting the other blogs I've been working on.  Enjoy AND you're welcome! 

Everytime I'm looking for a chandelier for a client, I come across this baby.  I know it's not really anything new, but I have an affinity for bugs and snakes and this looks like lots of coiled, crystal snakes and it's BEAUTIFUL to me.  But the $5,000 is not so beautiful for me.  Not so much.  It's here, if you want to send it to me it. 

I'm obsessed with the Fabulous Beekman Boys.  Have you seen this show on Discovery Green?  If you like light farming, gays and Martha Stewart, then this is the show for you!  I'm sure it has to do with my recent obsession with having my own mini-farm, but these boys are charming and make me laugh out loud.  Even without lots of wine. 

They also have an adorable goat farmer, make cheese and soap from the goat's milk on their farm and have lots of perfectionist antics.  Trust me, it's hilarious. 

What about this pic that ended up in my inbox today? 

And this? 

This is Zarb Champagne, courtesy of Trendland - a new website (well, new to me) that I discovered via BleachBlack - the most cutting edge fashion blog around.  Have you seen these girls? 

Anyway, Zarb Champagne has a great, interactive website and you must go there now.  Plus, you know how we love champagne. 

Some new blogs: 

And one of my favorites: 

Have fun!

I'm here to tell you about our favorite and most fabulous design bloggers

First off is Chapman Interiors.  Aside from being beautiful AND hilarious and so much fun, Julie

 is a super talented blogger.  Her blog is always informative, never boring and has a beautiful layout with an insane use of interior images.  Aside from all of that, she just happens to be one of Heather's homies from design school.  

Based out of Portland, Oregon with a flair for contemporary design - you MUST read her blog

and check out her website.  

Beach Bungalow 8 is another one of our favs

She blogs about such a variety of things - fashion, wallcovering, photography, design - it's endless!  And usually we haven't heard of half of the things she blogs about, so now we're basically experts on everything as a result of reading her blog.  From mix tapes to her Friday "peace out" series, her blog needs to be on your list.  Immediately.

Tobi Fairley is an amazing interior designer.  We first learned of her when we attended the Business of Design Conference 2 years ago at the Wynn.  She hails from Arkansas and has a great design aesthetic. But my just telling you about her does not do her design work justice.  Go to her website and be prepared to be wowed.   

Her blog has a brand new look and we LOVE it.  Tobi has a degree in Interior Design, as well as an MBA and has been published in numerous national magazines.  So don't just take it from us, but from her thousands of fans that follow her as well - she's an uber-talented designer with a head for business and a wonderfully pleasant personality.  Trust me when I tell you - that's a rare combination in our business.  

A nursery done by Shelter Interior Design

Shelter is a blog that is sent to my email everyday and I open it as soon as I see it.  When weeding through 80-100 emails a day, I so look forward to the delicious photos and design ideas on this blog.  Short and sweet - the best kind of blog there is.  

Shelter is also an interior design firm in the Boston area.  Look at the website and make sure to keep a towel close by because it is drool-worthy.


And last, but certainly not least, a blog that is not design related, but is amazing nonetheless:
Bakerella

Her blog is described as "sweet inspiration & fun baking ideas".  If you have never seen it, you must go now!  Her blog is where I discovered Cake Pops, and if you don't know what that is, you're in for a GREAT surprise.

Her photography of her delectable creations is top notch and every single recipe of hers that I have tried is de-lish!  She is adorable and really seems like such a sweetie.  No pun intended. (wow, that was horrible but I can't bring myself to remove it.)
She also has a book that just came out about Cake Pops and you can pick it up here.  

Cheers to a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

I'd like to give a chout out...

Just a couple of quick notes tonight, we'll be posting more this week on our recent trip to the Sub-Zero and Wolf factories. Sounds like a yawn? You'll be surprised, so tune in later this week.

Our new favorite blog that you must check out: Velvet and Linen. The photos are sumptuous and the designs are well-executed, luxurious and timeless. You'll love it!

While in Madison, we were in a building with some incredible artwork. Like I said, we'll be sharing more about this place later in the week but I want to post this piece because I thought it was SO amazing.

This painting is called "Bus Stop" and you MUST go to the artist's website to see it in full scale - this picture is way too small and too pixelated to be appreciated. His name is Paul Giovanopoulos and he has some wonderful pieces. According to the handout we were given regarding this canvas, "Bus Stop" is an acrylic on canvas painting of artists, people painted in the style of famous artists or geographical influences in art history. How many artists can you identify? This piece was chosen by Jamie Drake, a super fabulous and super famous interior designer. You can see his work here. Enjoy!
