Eye Candy

I certainly got my share of seasonal weather this year, between snow in London and endless rain in Los Angeles.However, somewhere amongst all the weather a few beautiful Malibu days of sunshine snuck in. So timely for a shoot for an upcoming publication.



I always try and design product that is flexible in its use. when weather permits, love bringing indoor furniture outside.





Staying true to my aesthetic is something very important to me. To do so I have to gain my inspiration from quietly observing life. I was in London for the announcement of Prince William and Kate Middleton. I was most moved and impressed by their maturity and careful consideration for the role models that they are........inspiration for all on many levels.



Designing furniture and bedding as I have for so many years, it is always important for me to bring in new and fresh ideas, but preserve the core values of beauty, comfort and function. While the world goes whizzing by, and newness comes and goes, I will always protect the world that we all seem to feel safe and comfy in.



Funny how sometimes the simplest things in the world can be the most complicated to develop. These were one of those tricky things. But so worth it.

Another simple special new treasure.



As I mentioned in my last blog, I am going to try and try and try, and take moments here and there, to stop and smell the roses. or gazing out at the ocean too.........
