If You Are On The North Shore In Chicago...

In Chicago.....
Christopher Guy has opened a new showroom.
Hollywood Classic Glamour, I love it.
And if you are a designer,
I think you NEED to go.

It is Christopher Guy's second showroom in the U.S.

The other is in Beverly Hills.

I say "Why not on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach?"

Are you listening Mr. Christopher Guy?

Palm Beach would just LOVE your line.

Palm Beach is glamorous.

 No? 

I would be more than happy to run the showroom and bring in countless design jobs.

This is pure genius.

A truly elegant planter.

It is so me.

I could use this in every job I do.

Am I right?

Elegant?

Okay....take a moment to find your drool buckets and strap them on for sofa number 60-0002.

You know how I feel about armless sofas.

This one is fabulous.

And the fabric combinations could be endless if you needed them to be.

But....why?

The sofa speaks.

Here is another teaser from Christopher Guy

 that I have below.

A Christopher Guy cocktail table.

He has the largest variety of screens I have seen from one company.

You can view Christopher Guy's Showroom Product Line HERE. 

Go, go now and check out his screens and everything else.

What do you think?

Is this Glamour or What??

The Sweetest And The Saddest...

I came across this image and was touched deeply.

They are homeless.

I simply can not imagine how horrible it must be to struggle to care for ones self 

and to try your best to care for another helpless small 'being' while living on the street.

This picture made me cry and smile at the same time.

What I see is the love and caring between them.

They are not alone, they have each other. 

It seems to me...

that is everything.

What do you see?

A Home Made Of LIVING WALLS

"You may have heard of living walls, but how about a living box?"

"The exterior walls of the new wing of the Bricault family's Venice home are clad in sedums and other succulents, which soften the contemporary architecture so it looks like a plush, verdant floating cube. Paul Bricault likes the way the horticultural house gets people talking."

I am fascinated with this concept and if you go to the link of and earlier post of mine

you will see many examples.

What a great idea to do at home for the kids.

Or for me....I have a room with a 23 foot ceiling height ,

and certainly could use the strength training.

If you could....would you ever use a living wall?

And The Winners Are......

I was just given an award;

'The Super Comments Award'

-below is the award.

Cute Isn't it?

I was given the award by Renae Moore from Moore Designs.

Here is the deal...

I must answer 10 questions (not so easy),

then pass the award along to 10 super bloggers that leave wonderful comments.

Or just show up some times to let us know they are listening.

Here goes...

1.  Why do you blog?

Blogging for me is best when I have the courage to use my 'voice' 

and give my honest opinions and feelings about whatever my topic du jour may be.

I blog for the very semi-anonymous connection to the world.

I know that sounds strange since my name is on my blog 

and anyone can get in touch with me via the telephone or by sending an email.

This blogging is a wondrous thing.

Isn't it??? 

2.  Name your three best memories.

Besides the birth of my daughter 

and every second spent with my horse....

1}Having my work published.

2}Having my work published.

3}Having my work published.

3.  Name four of the best fiction books you have read.

Sorry...I don't read fiction.

When I did read fiction the only one I finished was Cather in The Rye.

Which I LOVED.

The rest of the fiction required by school to read... 

it was' Cliff Note's all the way.

4.  What are the five best movies ever made?

A River Runs Through It

Ordinary People

Terms Of Endearment 

Annie Hall

Breakfast At Tiffany's

I love boys names for women.

I named my daughter Andi.

I wanted to name her Max but my dad said;

" What if she is unattractive?"

he had a point.

7.  Tell us a unique and interesting fact about yourself.

*I am most comfortable with horses and dogs.

*I spent my very early years {4-7yrs} in night clubs 

and having 3 AM breakfasts with celebrities.

Oh...And my mom had little beaded evening gowns made for me.

My parents looked like movie stars.

I thought they were.

*I am uncomfortable at parties.

8)  What do you love best about yourself?

My eyes.  SURPRISED?????

My design talent, 

and my life in the business.

You are always creating and learning something new.
