October To Do List And September Recap
Can you believe tomorrow is October already?? September turned out to be a complete whirlwind and I had no time for anything so I’m kind of scared to visit my monthly to do list but here goes:
SEPTEMBER TO DO LIST
1. Organize important documents and papers. [Nope. Still didn't get to this one. You were [...]
It’s Black And White
It seems like I fall in love with a new favorite color combination every week and having no loyalty whatsoever, I’ll quickly abandon it when a new and prettier one catches my eye. But the one I will always stay true to is black and white.
Black and white have always been my favorite colors to [...]
Orla Kiely’s Studio
Hi, everyone, what a crazy weekend it’s been! I’m home from Atlanta which, if you’ve never been, is a very cool town. (Thank you, nkp, for all of the great info!) I’m feeling a bit frazzled trying to catch up on a million things today but one of the things on my mind is [...]
Me At Apartment Therapy?
Hi, guys, I’m just popping in for a minute because I just got an email and had to share the news. It’s kind of a long story but I’ll try to be as brief as possible. A while back, my girl K-Line gave me the heads up that Apartment Thearapy was looking for a blogger [...]
Interview With Vicente Wolf
As most of you know, I’m a huge fan of Vicente Wolf. I not only love his aesthetic but his bio could be my own: avid traveler, photographer, and has had many different careers. So you’ll see from my questions that these are the areas that I was most interested in exploring. It was truly [...]
Traveling Thursday: W Atlanta
Appropriately enough, I’m traveling on this Traveling Thursday – to Atlanta on business – so I thought I’d show you the W Hotel in Midtown, Atlanta where I’ll be staying.
I want these lights in my house:
If anyone knows the source for these (or anything like these), do tell!
I’m not crazy about this room but I [...]
Ikea Trollsta
I have been loving the Ikea Trollsta sideboard since it came out. I’ve resisted it because a) I don’t have any room for it and b) I generally avoid things that scream “I’m from Ikea.” But I just can’t get it out of my mind – especially in yellow! Look how great it looks in [...]
Arrivederci, Dear Murano
We had a little mishap in the Right Bank household this weekend that I just have to share with you. We came home Sunday afternoon after a fun day out with our guests and found my beloved antique Murano chandelier on the floor shattered into a million pieces. We’re still trying to figure out how [...]
Mismatched Chairs
Years ago, I had a friend with the cutest apartment in San Francisco that was furnished on practically no budget. One of my favorite things about her apartment was the dining area which consisted of a really long rustic table and a mishmash of random chairs that she either found or were given. I had never [...]
Black Chandeliers
My love for chandeliers is not a big secret, nor is my penchant for black. So it’s only logical that I’m madly in love with these beauties:
And to me, the mother of all black chandeliers is this one at Maison de Baccarat which I wrote about before:
Off the topic but if you go to Paris [...]
Traveling Thursday: Taj Tashi
High on my travel wish list is to visit the ancient Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. And I think when the time comes, the Taj Tashi will be a must.
Look at the setting!
The traditional architecture and design mixed with modern furnishings strikes the perfect balance.
How dreamy would it be to spend an evening by the fire [...]
Guests IRL And Guest Blogging
If you’ve been missing my witty and insightful commentary on your blogs lately (ha!), I do apologize but I have a good reason. My mom’s been visiting us for the past week and she didn’t fly across the country to be ignored while I spend hours in front of the computer. Oh, no.
Well, she’s going [...]
Mamma Mia
I know I’m way behind here but this blog is how I keep ideas organized for myself and I need to put this in my “Cabin” category for future reference. I finally watched “Mamma Mia” on DVD a couple of weeks ago and like most of the design world, I totally fell for the interiors. [...]
Diane Bergeron
I recently discovered designer Diane Bergeron, thanks to Apartment Therapy. Her home was published in Vogue Living Australia and at first glance, I thought it was one of those houses that I like even though it’s not “me.”
Do you know what I mean? A style that you can appreciate even if it’s not your own?
But [...]
The Inglenook Decor
I’m very pleased and proud to announce a new sponsor today, The Inglenook Decor!
The Inglenook Decor is an online home décor and accessories specialty store that carries both one-of-a-kind flea market finds and new, unique items. Their products are described as “sophistication meets hip and cool” and “clean lines meet intricate styles.” I would have to agree [...]
Traveling Thursday: Les Crayères
Since my interview about Paris style, I’ve had France on the brain so that’s where we’re headed this Traveling Thursday.
One of the very best things about living in Paris was being able to just jump in the car and explore different parts of the country on the weekends. We managed to see quite a bit [...]
Paris Style, Seattle Style
Kindly join me today at Four Walls and a Roof where the very lovely Lucy has interviewed me about my take on Paris style and Seattle style. It proved to be a pretty tough assignment so I’d be very interested in your feedback. Merci!
Black And White Perfection By Nacho Polo
Are you all familiar with Nacho Polo? I may be late to the game here but he and his work are totally new to me. I love seeing spaces I haven’t seen before so I was jumping up and down when I came across this house he designed. I think you’ll see from the photos why.
Um, [...]
For My Fellow Pet People
“We’re . . . so . . . sleepy . . .”
I’m just popping in again to say that my Frenchies are getting their 15 minutes of fame today at Desire to Inspire!
Do You Twitter?
Hi, everyone. It’s a holiday here in the US so I’m taking the day off but just popping in for a quick post.
I’ve been twittering for a while now and am curious as to your feelings about it. Sometimes I love it and other times, I find that I can’t keep up and wonder what’s [...]
I Want To Be A Minimalist
Ever since I posted my most recent dream house, I’ve seriously been wanting to get rid of everything and become a minimalist once and for all. And now I have even more reason. Take a gander at this house!
There was a time when I thought this kind of house was cold and uninviting. (”But where’s [...]
Traveling Thursday: Hotel Azucar
We had been planning on taking a trip to Southeast Asia this fall but it looks like the hubs can’t get away for a long trip until after the holidays. That’s okay but if I don’t get on a plane every few months, I get antsy so we’re thinking of taking a shorter trip in [...]
A Yellow And Gray Post Inspired By Rachel Zoe
So most of you know that I’ve been completely enamored with yellow all year. And one of my favorite pairings with yellow is gray.
Isn’t this a lovely room? Well, what does this have to do with Rachel Zoe, you ask?
I’ll tell you. I was watching her show yesterday (recorded from Monday) and she went to [...]

Welcome to the second installment of Orange Crush, a collaboration between From the Right Bank to the Left Coast and Down and Out Chic where we show you the fabulousness that is orange. (If you missed the first installment, you can find it here.)
This week, I’d like to show you some orange walls. Now, as [...]
