While I’m sinking into the inner theme songs of Mr. & Ms. B for the Rock Your Rental contest, I’ll bet you’re wondering what YOUR inner theme song sounds like. Many of you have emailed to tell me that you’ve been thinking about your record collection (“record” applies even if you’re not spinning vinyl, dig?). [...]
{If you’re reading this via email, click the title to view the gallery. It’ll make so much more sense that way. Promise!} THANK YOU to all of you who entered the Rock Your Rental contest. Choosing a winner wasn’t easy, and while I’ve personally thanked each and every one of you, I’d like to thank [...]
My first house was a kaleidescope of cows and bubblegum pink walls, burnt orange-coloured carpets with black and peach wallpaper, mint coloured balloon shades, and a forest green basement with a cheap wood bar. Yeah, baby. It was sort of the visual equivalent of this: It even had one of these: Side note: I was [...]
{If you’re reading this via email and can’t see the graphics, well, click that title and mosey on over!} Ah, moving. Something about a change of scenery, learning new light patterns and determining new routines and hidey spots for all the little goodies is exhilarating. Exhausting, but exhilarating. I have a feeling you’re going to [...]
I’ve been hitting up against the heavy “shoulds”, “coulds”, and “supposed to’s” as of late. I don’t like those. They leave me feeling… exhausted. I SHOULD be writing about interior design. I COULD be posting all kinds of pretty pictures. I’m SUPPOSED TO be interested in the ever-expanding line-up of this month’s latest and greatest. [...]
Design is a fickle bitch. Always beckoning with the more more more while you’re bursting at the seams and aching for a little letting go go go. The bombardment is intense ~ always something new, something prettier, something shinier, something a little more than what you’ve got. And just when you’re feeling like stripping on [...]
Like an old-school zine. (But smarter. And sexier.) Freshly launched. At the helm, the inimitable Emma Alvarez Gibson. Inside, “a swarm of mad geniuses”. If you’re looking for culture and vision, look no further. I had the distinct pleasure of being invited to contribute to the inaugural issue of Jack Move Magazine. Featuring a special [...]

I need a playlist. A theme song. An anthem. I need to feel the rhythms that supercharge your senses, and translate [...]
Yeah, I know. We’re a scary bunch. Bossy, opinionated, a little too loose with the purse strings. And really, everything’s just fine. Just fiiiiiiiine, thankyouverymuch. A designer?! Bahhhh! Who the hell needs one of those?! “I’m not Momma Moneybags.” “My wife takes care of that stuff. I just make sure I pick up my socks.” [...]
So I came across this: And it seduced me into doing this: What seduces you?
{If you’re reading this via email, click the title to watch the video.} Here’s what I know: What you do, every day, becomes part of who you are. Scraping pennies or rolling naked in your dough, you’re trading your brain power, your creativity and your most valuable asset – your time – for your daily [...]
