Designers’ Choice - Your Choice

This Saturday, October 18 promises to be a perfect day for a home tour, the Designers’ Choice Home Tour, to be exact. Don’t miss the chance to see some of Dallas’ great design talent’s best work: Cole Smith, Bernbaum-Magadini, Robyn Menter and Richard Drummond Davis (this is their collaboration), Gary Riggs, and Tracy Rasor. Just check in at the Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church at 10 am and be prepared to be inspired.

I’ll Go Green for This…

Yes, I must admit I have been reluctant to drink the “green” Kool-Aid, because frankly, many of the green products available are just plain UGLY. Does everything have to be so blandly-colored, overpriced, and starchy? Apparently not.

Yumi & Laurie have created 100% organic blankets (or as they say, blanQuettes) for your home that are lightweight and adorned with Turkish-inspired prints. They are plush and fabulous, which must be why Hilary Duff and Jennifer Garner are proud owners of a Y&L blanQuette. Alas, an eco-friendly product for the savvy decorator.

Check out their stuff here. They would make a great gift! FYI, although the resemblance is uncanny, that is not me modeling the blanket.
