Has everyone been tuning into the new Bravo reality TV series Million Dollar Decorators? The show follows five of my LA-based colleagues – Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Kathryn Ireland, Jeffrey Alan Marks, Mary McDonald, and Nathan Turner. The houses are incredible and the budgets even more so. We downloaded the entire series from iTunes, and I’m already hanging out for Season 2! The first season is currently airing here on Arena on Foxtel on Wednesdays.

In this month’s House Beautiful magazine Quadrille’s new Kazak fabric is featured again in the whimsical yet sophisticated tent design by LA based Interior Designer Mary McDonald. McDonald uses scores of bold colour, pattern and texture in her design (including fabrics Saya Gata and Meloire Reverse by Alan Campbell through Quadrille) while maintaining balance across the room.
I am also very excited to share highlights from my recent trip back to America.
First stop was LA; I stayed in West Hollywood at the fabulous Chamberlain Hotel designed by Kelly Wearstler.
I had the pleasure of having dinner with Peter Dunham and friends, he shared all the happenings of Hollywood at Home now at it’s new location on La Cienega Blvd. West Hollywood. On the day of my visit things were bustling in preparation for the up coming Dressed to Kill trunk show. Peter featured Lisa Fine’s new fabric Pasha Palm beautifully with upholstered walls and other one off design temptations such as this over the top map!
On my last night I had dinner with friends Sarah fader, Carolina Irving and Lisa Fine. Nothing like a girls night out before catching the red-eye to New York!
A huge thank you to Tina, LA’s very own English Muse for mentioning us in her blog! Tina is very busy blogging, twittering, face booking and working as a celebrity columnist for the LA Times! She’s one busy girl . Thank you so much for taking the time to visit!
