Open Your Heart

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. -Anais Nin

My wish for us all today, rather than to focus on love lost or past or absent (which is so easy to do, it seems, with the rushing around and attention romantic love is given today), is that we find and appreciate the many shapes of love in our lives, that we find the love within, most importantly, and shine it back out into the world. Happy Valentine’s Day.

Hollywood Regency

I was in Hollywood for the weekend, and there was plenty of drama in the interiors (over sized objects, tons of velvet, tufted furniture, big headboards, chandeliers, playful color, etc., etc.) and glam to go around.

Hollywood Regency refers to  “a style made popular in the movies in the 1930′s and 1940′s and was seen in the homes of many Hollywood actors. It takes furniture from the Georgian and Regency periods and mixes them in modern interiors.” (wiki.answers) Enjoy some of my favorite Hollywood Regency interiors from around the web.

Interior of the Day

Via STIL iInspiration:

It’s not so much about the designer names here, or a complex design scheme…but what I love about this interior is how honest and happy it somehow feels.  I’m not usually a fan of wood panels, but I like the squares here, and the checkered floor in the hallway is so perfectly worn, it tells a story of life lived.  It’s raining today and I’d love to have the day to myself with a fat stack of magazines! That and the gold cord exposed bulb pendant make this the interior of the day! Happy Tuesday…3 days til L.A.!!

Design San Francisco

Yesterday was a lovely February San Francisco day (today’s not bad either!) and I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon at the San Francisco Design Center, amidst the Design San Francisco event and the winter market. First I toured the lovely Baker showroom. Then I sat in on an inspiring and very informational panel discussion regarding licensing versus manufacturing furniture and the likes. Finally, I strolled the grounds of Restoration Hardware, wine in hand…lovely event, wonderful design center! Here’s to San Francisco and good design…enjoy my humble photos.

I would feel right at home here- clean and modern yet very livable…I love the lamp and the natural lighting. The built in shelves frame the window on the far wall nicely.
