Secretaries: On the market

Since, I have been rounding up desks for current design projects…I thought what better place than to share them here?

A few ideas for writing desks from classic to modern. What I find great about these pieces is their differences.

Desk Round Up

Top left is a French antique writing desk that I found on Ebay. A local Carpenter at the Little House of Nude furniture said he could make one to match. Below, the white Anne secretary desk from Ballard Designs, is ultra affordable and could be painted or fancied up with a new pair of knobs.

The middle column has by far the most bohemian feel. The top Flatiron desk from Restoration Hardware is a touch Spanish, one part modern and so minimal. Center stage, the new Hollywood desk from Room Service, is the epitome of retro modern cool. What I like most is the legs. To the bottom pic, a Lucite console table from Cb2 along with nesting tables could definitely double as a desk for a Guest Room anytime.

The last column is for all of you mid-century modern lovers. From the top Cb2′s Swoop Desk, Russell Pinch’s Walnut desk with a leather top, and lastly another fave by Room Service, the Palm Beach desk.

I must say the Russell Pinch desk really got my attention. After a visit to their website, I’ve been dreaming about their super fluffy comfy looking sofas pictured over there. Go have a look!

Tell me which one do you like best and why?

Event Recap

Taste of Encino consultations!

I like this picture because there is so much going on!

The little Rustic Table, which was probably an antique wash table in it’s day…

The antique carved-wood chair, plus the fishing bowl, where I shared samples of other artists from my CCCOE team.

All in all, it was a great day and I made some new friends.

A big thanks to everyone who came out and showed their support for Pink Pianos!

Visit me at Taste of Encino

Most of you know how much I love to create. In fact, my indoor studio is bursting with creations that really need to get out into the fresh Fall air.

Tea at the Taj Hotel

If you live in Southern California, I invite you to come and see me in Encino!

I’ll have a booth at Taste of Encino, and arts and music festival from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

I’ll tempt you with more good things that I will show tomorrow.

A Touch of Color

Weekend treats:

This picture of footwear designer Philippe Model’s bedroom from Paris Style is so sublime. I just found this book on sale. It instantly transports me back to the good ole days living sur l’Ille.

Paris Style

The subtle shades of each color like a value scale painted on the wall. Plus, look at the blanket! I love how French Interiors aren’t too perfect or over designed.

I have visions of doing a rendition of this to one of my living room walls. One day!

Now to really get in the mood francaise for the day, listen to Nouvelle Vague.

This past week, I missed them at the Oohlala festival. What was I thinking?

Have fun out there this weekend!

I’ll be sure to share a DIY and stories, when I am back.
