The little girl in me (and the big girl too, for that matter) just loves sparkle and shine. Below are some fantastic lighting pieces, pendants and chandeliers that make my eyes get big and bring a smile to my face. I loved stuffed animals as a child too, of course,...

It is that time of year again...the time to improve, renew and make better. Your home should be a huge part of that. Sherwin Williams' 2011 color forecast is here. Tell me what you think. I hope you are inspired and moved to make some positive changes in your life that...
There is nothing more fun to me than New York City. The lights, the people, the design. It is so exciting! These clients of ours wanted a fun and funky space. Greens, blues and black...almost a mod look. They needed a place other than the master bedroom for guest to sleep...
While the thought of wallpaper makes some people scream, for you, I hope it will bring squeals of delight! It is back in full force and with so many gorgeous papers out there to choose from, they are just starting to make just paint look, well, not as exciting. Why...
While at the Kansas City’s Central Exchange downtown last week (of which I am a member), I met fellow blogger of Momma Said, Jen Singer. Now granted, she blogs about being a mom (and is quite funny!) and not interior design, yet being a mother myself and designing spaces for...
More photos from the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City. The exhibit: The Poetics of Space. So interesting what each piece "says" about the people that live and breath there... (Please see the previous blog to this blog by scrolling down) Notice the position of the bed in the...
People ask me all the time about how to select art for their home. I have one answer, it must "move" you! I am not a big believer that art must "match" a room. One thing I love in a great interior design, is when art stands on it's own. It...
What can we say? We are fabulous, aren't we? I do love Kansas City and think this is a most flattering article published by Elle Decor. I enjoyed our local Patricia Shackelford's incredible ability to capture our cities graces and she did so by highlighting the best and brightest, yet not...
LOVED Elle Decor's article on Kansas City. My clients, friends and I fully agree it is the fabulous and creative heart of our nation. What a pleasure to have such a gorgeous publication highlight it’s fine beauty, talent and history. It was a wonderfully written piece we can proudly add...
Today, it was 60 degrees outside. Two days ago it was snowing with freezing rain. In Kansas City, the weather turns on a dime constantly. It makes me want to bring electric blankets to the animals outside... This Spring storm however was energizing. Hiding under an umbrella to keep my camera from...
There is nothing more fabulous than chatting with another designer who also has such passion for design. 435 South Magazine published an article "Anything But Boring" featuring all of the wonderful things I found in the High Point Furniture and Accessory Market. I just want to let you in on...
Had a wonderful time at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art during their Party Arty, a benefit for the museum. We are so lucky in Kansas City to have such a spectacular museum. The clothing designs were spectacular and the art, of course, was dramatic and amazing. Looking forward to the...
