Orient Express

I have always been a huge fan of furniture and accessories inspired by Asian culture. Here are a few of my favorites. Not only are they beautiful but they're also vintage, which also happens to be an obsession of mine!


Art Deco Cabinets circa 1930

James Mont Ceramic lamps circa 1960

Mirrored and Silver Leafed Dining Table Circa 1950

Gilt and iron bamboo King sized Poster Bed Circa 1960

Shagreen Cocktail table 20th century modern

Ok, so this desk isn't Vintage but it is pretty impressive

Animal House

I've always been a huge animal lover. Unfortunately because of my schedule I've never been able to have pet of my own (Sad face).  Luckily about 90% of my clients have wonderful fur babies that I can visit every time we meet. For most people their pets are a huge part of their family and it's very important to me that when designing I don't neglect that fact. Until recently finding beds, cages and scratching posts that didn't make your living room look like PetsMart posed a bit of a challenge.
However being the researching maven that I am; I was up to the challenge. I was able to find these chic, affordable and fabulous pet accessories.
Who says having a pet means ugly metal cages and beds that don't match anything? Not this girl!
So whether you have a feline, canine or canary check out a few chic pet products that are ideal for any home.
