Alice & Tim Burton fans...



Just in case you missed it, USA today published previously unseen concept and character photos from the upcoming Tim Burton film Alice in Wonderland this week.

I'm still loving that first glimpse of Alice's wardrobe.

(Thanks to Hope, for passing the Alice link love this way).

Summer Peonies
6.02.2009


Possibly the best thing about summertime in Oregon for me is the flowers. Today I ran over to our weekly farmer's market at lunchtime and picked up this bouquet for $6. Perfect.

A bit of velvet and a dash of lace
5.26.2009


Recently at the Papaya studio we all fell head over heels over Robin Brown's book, A bit of velvet and a dash of lace. Robin of Magnolia Pearl's home style overflows with textiles, texture, and a true passion for collecting beautiful time worn objects. In her book I loved seeing how she fused indoor & outdoor decorating together in unusual ways like using Persian rugs, mirrors, and artwork displayed on the front porch, and (my favorite bit by all means) a chandelier in the chicken coop!

Her story is filled with a genuinely creative spirit, and love for life. My favorite thing about Robin?! She wears flowers in her hair every day .... just another reason why she is one of my new heroes.

I love hearing how other creatives found their niche, don't you?!

Les Roulottes
4.26.2009
I keep returning to Eclectic gipsyland's photo set "Roulottes" on flickr, when I crave a bohemian dose of color and textile.

Imagine having one of these caravans in your garden...



Jeanne Bayol, pictured above has carved out her own unique niche in restoring old gypsy caravans and decorating them like no other. Her Caravans are for sale at les verdines. Be sure to check out her website and book: "Les Roulottes : Une invitation au voyage"

ISO50 Playlist No.2
4.19.2009


I'm really loving all of the music that Jakub's posting over on the ISO50 blog. I've been in dire need of some new music to listen to at work (I guess I finally outplayed my Pandora stations), and was so pleased to find this gem of a playlist. I'll be listening to this on heavy rotation this week in the studio. It's Bliss.

April Give-a-way! Domino The Book Of Decorating
4.01.2009


When Domino magazine first came out, I was instantly hit by the bug of obsession. It was like a designer's bible. The principle of it's magic was simple: here is a beautiful room, and here are all of the resources to make it happen. Simple. They broke a room down right down to the paint color. They were pioneers in their field, showing us all of the clever ways to design a unique space, to make you happy.

It was painful to hear of the end of my favorite publication. I'm still harboring a belief that when this economy turns around, it will come back! But for now , I can at least attest to their beautiful legacy with Domino's book, "Domino The Book Of Decorating, a room-by-room guide to creating a home that makes you happy", I have two copies to share with readers of this blog courtesy of it's wonderful publisher Simon & Schuster.

To enter: just leave a comment. No need to ever even have cracked open the magazine... this is the best of all of it's pages, and I'm so excited to share this with 2 lucky readers!

"Domino: The Book of Decorating cracks the code to creating a beautiful home, bringing together inspiring rooms, how-to advice and insider's secrets from today's premier tastemakers in an indispensable style manual. The editors take readers room by room, tapping the best ideas from domino magazine and culling insights from their own experiences. With an eye to making design accessible and exciting, this book demystifies the decorating process and provides the tools for making spaces that are personal, functional and fabulous."

Contest Ends Wednesday, April 8. Two random winners will be picked to receive a free copy of this wonderful book... good luck!!!
