And Away I Go
I’m hitting the road again, this time for a part philanthropy/part R&R trip here:
I bet you can’t guess where this is!
My family has been involved with a children’s charity for as long as I can remember and it happens to be located on an island off of the southern coast of Korea called Geoje. [...]
Here & There
I’d like to say a big hello to any readers from Ireland visiting via Munster Interiors magazine. I’m honored to be mentioned in its Blog Watch feature in this month’s issue. A big thank you goes out to my good pal Lorna of Garrendenny Lane Living Interiors for being such an amazing supporter of FTRB!
From [...]
My Stuff
I’m over at a Diary of Lovely today where I answer Helena’s questions about some of “My Stuff.” Yes, Paris come up once or twice. (Surprise, surprise!)
If you like anything you see there, Helena gets all the credit. She found most of the pics based on my answers and put together the collages. (And she [...]
Friday Randomness: Jonathan Adler, Pieces, Africa and Soccer . . .
It was cuteness overload here in Atlanta last night. It was the Jonathan Adler event at Pieces and he was here signing pieces (ha!) from his collections. (I got one of the bowls you see behind him.) He is as adorable and nice as you would think he would be. SO cute! I also met [...]
We Will Miss You, Marija
Yesterday I learned that we lost Marija, the lovely blogger behind Holding Court, this past weekend. She was visiting Atlanta with a friend and was driving back home to Chicago when she was killed in a car accident. I’m shocked and so devastated for her family.
Marija was one of the most supportive and genuine bloggers [...]

A Blogger’s Dilemma
I hope you won’t mind a little departure from the usual today. Something’s been on my mind lately and I felt like I just needed to talk about it.
Over the last few months, I’ve been becoming more and more overwhelmed here, not with writing this blog (I post every weekday and it comes very naturally [...]

What a Week!
This has been one crazy week here at FTRB headquarters! First it was those idiots stealing my content and trying to deal with that and then one tech problem after another yesterday. If you’re having any kind of problems subscribing to my blog, not seeing images, or the RSS feeds, please don’t tell me. Kidding. [...]
What’s Your Style in One Picture Challenge III
Ladies and gentlemen, the time has finally come! It’s the return of the FTRB “What’s Your Style in One Picture Challenge!”
In short, the challenge is to find one picture that sums up your design style. I issued the very first challenge in March 2009 and the second one in July 2009.
For my picture, I hate [...]
Hi, Y’all!
Hi, everyone! As you may have gathered from the guests blogging here last week, I was away. Specifically, I was here:
in Zurich, hanging out on the lake, taking in the fantastic collection at the Kunsthaus and consuming copious amounts of cheese, chocolate, and a wonderful concoction called luxemburgerli.
They’re basically macarons but smaller – like bite-size [...]
Nate Day
Hi, all! We have so much to catch up on! First, if you’re on Twitter, you know that today is Nate Day, as in Nate Berkus Day.
As you’ve probably heard, he will be hosting his own show this fall and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m hoping he’ll do lots [...]

FTRB in Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles
The June issue of Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles has hit the newsstands and in it, some local design and style bloggers were asked the question, “What Is Modern Now?” And I am so excited to tell you that yours truly is one of them!
I’m honored to be part of this group, which includes some bloggers [...]
Quick Question for You
[Update: Thanks to everyone who's taken the poll so far. I'll keep it open for a week and let you know the results next week.]
I’d love your feedback on something today. I’m working on just about every room in my house right now (with the exception of the basement. Too scary.) and I started wondering [...]
Giveaway: Golden Bamboo Tray Table
[The giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered!]
And now, have I got a giveaway for you!
Bellacor has offered one lucky FTRB reader an item of my choice from its huge inventory of lighting and home decor. So I shopped till I dropped and ultimately chose the Golden Bamboo Two-Tier Foldable Antiqued Mirror [...]
Paris in New York
***I’m still trying to figure out what’s going on with my feeds so please excuse any weirdness with this post today.***
Carolina Herrera Creative Director Herve Pierre’s Manhattan apartment has been featured here and there over the years and when New York Magazine published it last week, it seemed to have stirred up interest in it [...]
On the DVR
Most of the home and design shows have sort of blurred together for me but there are three new shows and one old one that I make a point of taping.
Peeking into fabulous New York real estate is my idea of fun and that’s just what you get to do with Selling New York. This [...]
Anthro Went to India Too
I guess the theme for this week is India. I started the week talking about my recent trip and then I saw the new Anthropologie catalog. It was shot in India and I thought the styling was especially pretty. That blue! Oh, that blue!
And of course, don’t forget about my India giveaway!
Final Thoughts on La Lampshade Weekend + Sneak Peek of the Kitchen
(The Decorators’ Show House that we visited and loved – for the most part.)
By now I’m sure you’ve all heard about the La Lampshade Does Atlanta weekend. Sadly I only partook in some of the fun so I left the recaps to the rest of the crew. But I’d like to chime in just to [...]
A Little Giveaway From India + Flickr Updates
(my favorite photo from India, shot in Jaipur)
I don’t like to bore people with big slide shows of my travels (I take thousands of photos) but for those interested in seeing what I’ve been up to, I have finally updated my flickr account with some photos from my recent trips to Seoul, Mumbai, and L.A.
Also [...]

I just want to remind you that you have one more day to enter the gold sunburst mirror giveaway if you haven’t yet.
And just in case you’ve been missing me, you can find my monthly guest post at Seattle Homes & Lifestyles blog here.

Giveaway: Gold Sunburst Mirror
Hi, everyone! How have you been? I’m back from Mumbai (more on that later) and I’m home just long enough to unpack, re-pack, and more importantly, to announce a very cool giveaway!
The good folks at CSN who sell everything from speaker stands to sofas are giving one lucky winner this gorgeous antique gold finish sunburst [...]
Where In the World?
I mentioned my amped up travel schedule earlier this week and by that I meant that having been home a whole three weeks, I’m off again . . . first to India, then to California.
Am I nuts? Maybe. But the huz is going on a business trip and I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity [...]
Blog It Forward
If you’ve arrived here via Blog It Forward, welcome! And if you’re not familiar with it, over the past couple of months, 300 bloggers have been posting about what inspires them in a sort of chain letter form. The baton has been passed to me from From Lara and since today is the last day, [...]
I Want to Live in Stockholm, in this House
Every once in a while I see a house where I like absolutely everything. This Stockholm house recently featured in Skona Hem (of course) is one such house.
It had me at the window seat. Oh, that view!
Love the rolled arm sofa, the Josef Frank pattern on the other, and the tray coffee table here:
the wallpaper, [...]
We Interrupt This Program
Sorry but there’s no post today because I had to run off to take care of a family matter. I was also supposed to be in London right now so that trip’s been postponed too. It’s nothing serious and everything is going to be fine but it is bad timing.
I’ll see you back here on [...]
One Year Blogiversary!
I can hardly believe it but today marks the one year anniversary of From the Right Bank!
When I started this blog a year ago, I couldn’t have imagined all of the amazing things that have come from it. Above all else, I am so, so grateful for all the lovely, talented, and supportive people I [...]
Shameless Plug
I was planning to take time off from this space until 1/1 but that was before the 2009 Homies! I found out about the awards last week when a couple of my awesome readers nominated From the Right Bank for a chance at the coveted title.
We’re talking cream of the crop here so I have [...]
