How To Hide Your Kid’s Clutter - Solution #1: Storage Ottoman
When you lack time and energy, things either stay on the ground as is or pile up like m- - - - - ….I mean, hay. You could purchase tons of storage bins or cabinets but it will always look like “Hey, put your crap inside here!” Don’t get me wrong, I love storage. But what do you do when that “orderly storage” style is just not you anymore? One of my favorite go-tos are storage ottomans. By going the custom fabricated route, I think it makes a huge difference on style, look and feel. It started with an idea then a sketch.. now look at it. This mighty orange looking thing is 38” in diameter and ready to be filled will toys and miscellany. The plush Schumacher velvet is my favorite because it’s soft to the touch for baby but still looks luxurious and tailored for adult gatherings.
At work we finally have clients that adore vintage goodies and what a treat it is for us :D Instead of surfing the net I actually did some traditional shopping about town. One of the stores I ventured into was Past Perfect (both stores located in the Marina). And I must say this is now one of my favorite stores! Ugh, so many incredible finds. Just unique gems. Seriously. I took a few photos of items I thought would work for our clients…
Starting from upper left going clockwise:
-Artichoke Chandelier, $575
-Pair of CK Bronze/Glass Table Lamps, $2400 (To me these scream Kelly Wearstler ;P)
-Pair of Danish 1965 nightstands, $1200
-Dux Chest Credenza by Folke Ohlsson, $1950 (our client purchased it this past weekend - YAY!)
Are we having beer or taking shots? Beer? Shots? Beer? Shots? Either way, gimme this for serving it up :D

Real talk.
Failure lingers in my mind without question. But the high from creating triumphs, always.

ReCraft Your Chair: Knitting Eames Wire Chair
Having achieved success with their plywood and molded plastic chairs, Charles and Ray Eames challenged themselves to make a reasonably priced, strong but lightweight, quality chair out of bent wire. Introduced in 1951, it was an immediate hit. Distinctively, unmistakably Eames, the wire chair has stood the test of time and is as popular today as it was half a century ago. Here is a moder take on these chairs by Akira Ishikawa.

complementary colors never fail.
Love this arrangement by one of my favorite designers, Kelly Wearstler. Very few in this world have the talent to put so many disparate objects colors and textures together and make them work. To get better always admire designs slightly outside your comfort zone.
