Ladder Day Designers

If you happened to be at the Design Center Friday, perhaps you caught Susan Palma and Muffin Lemak in their latest not politically correct Halloween outfits.  Susan’s comment was, “We really scared some guys because they had never seen women without makeup.”  If creativity makes the designer - these women have it in spades.  And if you have any question about taste, just look at what Susan gave me as the “arbiter of good taste.”  I have to have security cameras at my desk to make sure no one steals it.

Thanks for the Pellegrino!

Here’s my diligent team while we wrapped up the last shot of our 2009 Design Book photo shoot. (From left: Portland, Cliff, me and Stephen). Homeowner Eve Reid was gracious enough to let us use her award winning Mid-century house as a backdrop for our story. She was also kind enough to keep us hydrated with Pellegrino. Thanks, Eve! Everyone must make plans to secure a Design Book issue when it hit’s new stands December 11— you’re going to love it!

Must-Have Monday

Stacy Hyde always has classically chic and timeless designs and this “Flamingo Rattan” ($575) lamp is no exception.  Simply stunning! Maybe you could add it to your Christmas list. After all, isn’t it about that time?
