Friday Faves: Mid-Century Rocker Chair
Urban Outfitters has stepped up their game in the furniture department and is now featuring some great retro style remakes, and this Mid-century modern rocking chair is my favorite. The Mid-Century Rocker Chair comes in a variety of colors and perfectly mimics authentic Danish mid-century versions, with a price tag of $288.
Friday Faves: Amy Butler Bright Buds Rug
Amy Butler is very talented at creating beautiful, colorful and unique prints and I adore her handmade rugs, especially the Bright Buds design for Chandra Rugs. She calls it “A modern take on the bright sky and flowers waving in the field. Deep blues give the feeling of a garden pond oasis”. In addition to being [...]
Friday Fave: Alder Cubes
Last week I was in the modern home store Propeller in Hayes Valley, and I saw this amazing Alder Cube side table by Brent Comber. As Comber puts it “I have always loved the spaces created between the trees in a forest. I was inspired by the positive and negative shapes and the play of light [...]
Friday Faves: Dwell Chinoiserie Multi Placemats
A few nights ago I threw a dinner party and I realized that I need to update my tableware. I’ve been admiring Dwell’s chinoiserie bedding for awhile, and I was thrilled when I saw that they have placemats in the same print.

Last weekend I was introduced to the work of Sara Paloma Pottery at the Renegade Craft Fair in San Francisco, and I am now a huge fan. What I love about her work is the soft organic forms and soothing palette, which I can see working in many different spaces. My favorite piece right now [...]
Friday Faves: Antique Carved Mirror
On a recent trip for a San Francisco based client, I came across this Italian antique carved mahogany mirror at Anthem in the Presidio. Dramatic and elegant, it’s a wonderful piece for a dining or living room.
Friday Faves: Sundial Bedding
My new fave and top wish list item is the eco-friendly Sundial bedding by Sang & Serena, which I found thanks to Coco + Kelley. I have always admired Indian bedding, but most prints I’ve seen are too feminine, whereas Sang & Serena’s textile collection is well balanced in terms of masculine & feminine colors. [...]
Friday Faves: Printed Wallpaper
The new advances and designs in wallpaper are one of my favorite trends in interior design. I became obsessed when I first saw Cole & Son’s Wood handprinted wallpaper at Moda Hotel in Vancouver. I’ve always considered the print to be rustic, playful, relaxing and beautiful, so I was excited that Designers Call used it [...]
