Don't get me wrong. There's a place for vintage posters...you know the ones of the dancing women with wine labels and grapes in Italian restaurants around the country. I get it. I'm not against them per se - but I wouldn't mind seeing something different. I loved this installation shot of a restaurant from 2011 so I thought, "I'd go there."

]]>"Through Twitter, I've met a wonderful group of designers, writers, artists, gardeners and more-and the conversations and the kind generosity of this group has been amazing. The ideas and opinions are endless.
And while Twitter is a great way to "talk," Pinterest is fantastic resource for sharing images-favorite flowers, favorite places, favorite colors. It's basically a collection of virtual "bulletin boards" organized by whatever topics you like."

This actually hit me out of the blue, while Larry and I were walking to lunch one of the afternoons at market. He asked me, “what trends or new things have you seen”, and I thought about it and realized, not really “new” but old in a new way was what I really took away from most of the case goods and even some of the soft goods showrooms.

]]>Techie is not a word friends would include when describing me but Steve Jobs was one of my heroes. There are designers and there are suits. Steve was extraordinarily both, and what change he brought with that power. Thank you Steve for showing the world that in business, design, beauty and cool do matter, and the market will reward you for caring about aesthetics.

]]>One might think that bathroom is a less-than-ideal place to display your best artwork. And while hanging expensive artwork in a steamy bathroom is never a good idea, art can be a crucial part of the bathroom dcor.It helps a purely functional space feel warm and inviting.The question is, what type and kind of artwork should you buy for your bathroom?
