Apartment tour

This Silverlake apartment is so eclectic and lovely with so much character in just 900 sq.ft. space. Also, nice to see our designed Oceans 11 poster as part of the decor too! {via Apartment Therapy}

Sweetastic!

Eye candy for everything in La Patisserie des Reves in Paris. The colors, the displays, the desserts - it's like walking through a museum of desserts, cakes and pastries. {via thecoolhunter}

Opera Camper

This is not what you would imagine what an RV is. Inspired by the Sydney Opera House - this camper folds out into just that complete with hot/cold shower, toilet, mini bar, stove and an espresso bar. The teak veranda is also part of the fold out! This is my kind of camping - beautiful and functional! See video at YourSuiteinNature and story here.

Skin

Such a great idea - maternity dress that can be worn forever made by middle-aged women of Columbia. The designer was inspired by Japanese origami and wanted to create jobs for elderly women by having each dress made by hands using organic cotton.

Rainy day

I love a rainy day in Thailand. It pours so heavy that you can't see anything beyond your street. When it's over, the sun peeks through and everything is fresh, green and lush.

Vegetal

love these Vitra Vegetal chairs....

Designed Cheese

I'm not a cheese connoisseur but I do love them. These little Dutch Goudas are not only handmade by a farm near the city of Gouda, Netherlands but have pretty designer wrappings as well (with Dutch theme of course). Designed by DesignKaas.

Spring to Summer

Vibrant blooms from Washington DC...

Cool air, hot balloon

My parents were visiting last month. It was so nice to hang out with them and catch up to things. I haven't seen them for a year! My dad is turning a whopping 60 this year, so I thought it would be a real treat to take him and my mom up on the hot-air balloon. They totally loved it! Sipping champagne at 7 in the morning, smooth ride through the cool air and the breathtaking view of the vineyards of Temecula. California Dreamin' is the company we used and totally loved their family-run business that is super friendly, safe and professional. They were so sweet to provide a birthday cake for everyone celebrating their birthdays on that trip.
