Sick and Awesome

While looking for wallcovering for a client today, I ran across this amazing product from F. Schumacher and had to share.  I'm in love with feathers and this is wallcovering with REAL feathers on it.  It is so beautiful and breathtaking, and the price reflects all of that.  But look:  

THESE ARE REAL FEATHERS PEOPLE!! And of course, they have been "humanely gathered and arranged by hand"  

So who is going to be the first to order this from us?  Come on, you know that you really need this.  

Something else that I recently discovered and filed under "sick and awesome":  

My new dream house.  You can see more pictures here.

New and Fabulous

Robert Allen fabrics has teamed up with the fabulous Christiane Lemieux at Dwell Studio and has introduced this crazy-cute new line.

Don't you love them?  

Of course they are all things wonderful and hip, just look at the Founder and Creative Director of Dwell Home:

I just ordered one of these charming fabrics for my family room sofa pillows and thought I would share.  It is adorable and I can't wait, it should be coming tomorrow.  While my husband is at work, I might add.  Perfect!

Isn't it fabulous?  

The price point is great, they are super versatile (kids rooms, my family room, bedrooms, etc.) and can be used in both contemporary and traditional settings.

Patience, young grasshoppa

Heather sent me a link to this fabulous artist and I had to share.  Have you seen this guy's sculpture?  

In-credible

both images from Dalton Ghetti

Aren't they unbelievable?  The artist's name is Dalton Ghetti.  Due to the size of the pieces and the fact that he does not use a magnifying glass, he only works on them about an hour and a half a day.  This means that some of the pieces can take months to a few years to complete.

yo yo yo

I practically cross myself every time I get to the office in the morning and see that our building has not been tagged.  That being said, I'm a huge fan of REAL graffiti.  

So I thought I would share what's new in our hood.  It's actually pretty spectacular.

This is what I look like when it rains!

All day long I've read tweets from so many of our friends back east saying that is raining LIKE CRAZY right now.  And while I get that it seriously puts a damper on fashion week activities, I am insanely jealous.  I know, I know, I shouldn't complain about the beautiful weather here in sunny Las Vegas. (blech - it's 100 degrees today)  

But I'm craving fall and wanting cooler temps and to order a Pumpkin Spice Latte every morning.  Does this sound whiny?  Well, I'm not apologizing.  I'm just going to brew some coffee, turn the AC down to 65 and look at these gorgeous photos and pretend.  Oh, and get some work done as well.  (don't roll your eyes at me)

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

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!
