Sorry to fall off the face of the earth last week. The worst sinus infection ever, pink eye and a husband traveling most of the week made for one miserable mamma. Still not feeling 100% and so over it! So, instead of thinking about it and complaining….let me tell you what I am currently obsessing over.

I am obsessing over……
….the ruffles Miles Redd uses to take simple silk panels to a new level.
Love it!

I believe my first introduction to Mary McDonald (or at least my first remembered image) was her amazing office that has since been re-decorated.

She is known for her hollywood glam style, love of chinoiserie, and her bold use of color and pattern. She is also starring in the second season of Bravo’s “Million Dollar Decorators” which I’ll admit is a guilty pleasure of mine when my husband is out of town or working late!
Osborne & Little should be paying her a commission for her use of their Volte Face wallpaper. So popular….

Anyways, I remember hearing that Mary McDonald was doing a new collection for Schumacher and it sortof fell off my radar (like many things late last year). But, I got an email yesterday from Schumacher announcing the collection is available. Of course, I had to head straight to the site to check it out. She has a great collection of prints, wovens, and cool appliques and trim. Below are some vignettes from the collection (all via Schumacher).
See the entire collection here.

Our renovation is more than complete and I love my kitchen. But wow, this makes me want to buy the fixer upper that just went on the market down the street and start all over (my husband’s BIGGEST fear).

What can I say.
Love it all.

Yesterday I spotted our foyer lighting fixture in a fabulous New York apartment designed by Fawn Galli. In the same home, I also spotted the George II chair made by Plexi-Craft (below) as well. I love this chair.

You may recall that I first spotted this chair in a space designed by Tobi Fairley.

I actually ended up ordering two of these. One is at the desk in Maddie’s room …….
The other one is going in a small alcove between the kids’ playroom and the laundry room…where I plan to have a little desk area for when I am upstairs with the kids.
By the way, to see the full set of photos of this amazing Fawn Galli designed space, click here to head over to House Beautiful.
(And also note, Plexi-Craft sells to all…..and does not discount to the trade. I received no compensation or special treatment for mentioning them…..I just love the stuff I’ve ordered from them and thought I’d share.)
I recently stumbled upon the portfolio of Alison Davin of Jute Interior Design, a San Francisco based design firm. I may be late to the party as a visit to the press page of her website shows numerous mentions….including a recent Elle Decor mention as “Blogger’s Choice” to watch in 2012. In any case, I love her fresh design aesthetic….and especially her unique children’s spaces. Take a look.
