Good Shepherd Charity Design Project / Inspiration

While cleaning out a huge stack of fashion and design magazines I ran across an article in Marie Claire and found this image above from a Favela type painting project in Rio De Janeiro. The message behind the painting project was to beautify a low income area into a bright and happy place. This image could not be more PERFECT for my inspiration on how I am going to decorate my room at Good Shepherd - and to boot the message behind what the artists wanted to create and our design project. What a happy accident.

Vintage Regency Chair

So yesterday I tweeted a picture of this vintage regency high back chair and could not believe how many fellow bloggers and designers tweeted how much they loved the chair as well! And to that I have decided to go buy it today. I am excited to see what the new and improved chair will look like next month. So stay tuned...

And in the meantime you may want to follow me on twitter for more sneak peeks of my vintage furniture finds. @TurquoiseLA

(And if you have any ideas on how to re-create the look of this chair, I would love to hear your thoughts.)

New Press: Angeleno Interiors Spring 2011

Was looking through the new Angeleno Interiors Magazine and to my surprise was a photo from an Angeleno/Miele party hosted by Snyder Diamond. So great to be with my wonderful talented designer friends at that party! Click here to view the new issue.
