Flipping Out!

Well...I'm back!  It's been a little while since i've blogged.  Honestly, I just haven't felt like it.  But nevertheless here we go again.  Tuesday night, on Bravo, starts Flipping Out.  I can't wait.  Jeff Lewis is neurotically fantastic.  For those of you that don't know him, he's an OCD, narcissistic, house builder/flipper.  But with the economy being so bad, he's turned to more his roots, which is interior design.  Not only is he extremely talented and has impeccable taste, he's actually a nice guy with a big heart.

House Beautiful, every year, picks a designer to design their kitchen.  And this year they had Jeff Lewis design it.  I love his masculine style with clean lines.  My favorite part of the kitchen is the white island in the middle.  The contrast of dark and light is very appealing.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.  xoxo

9 by Design

   I'm not sure if many of you know the design team of Robert and Cortney Novogratz.  They head their firm 6 Design and have a new Bravo tv show called 9 by Design.  Not only are they parents of 7 kids (hence the name 9 by design) but they also have impeccable style.  It's a mix of contemporary with old world, flee market finds.  Ok maybe the flee markets are in Paris, but nevertheless it's a flee market.

   Their book, Downtown Chic, is a step by step guide of how they approach their jobs and how to go about buying a "wreak" and turning into "ravishing".  Although most people can't readily jump on a plane to go find worldly treasures, most of can find creative, inexpensive ways to achieve our own versions of Downtown Chic.  Hope you enjoy...xoxo
