February 28, 2012 – 1:00 am

Super important: subscribers won’t be able to see the video through email… please click the title. I promise… there are sexy auditory goodies involved. Oh, the uphill climb. That “ugh” when you open the door. The overwhelming urge to just ignore everything and eat Chinese takeout while staring at the television and wondering why your [...]

Rock Your Rental ~ From Frustration to Inspiration

February 7, 2012 – 1:00 am

In our last Rock Your Rental post, we met Mr. & Mrs. B, or rather, we met Mr. & Mrs. B’s sad sack of a bedroom.* *I’ve been granted permission to use this particular expression since their own description of the space was a little more, um, colourful. If you’re new here, I created the [...]

We seem to presume that one means the exclusion of the other…

So. What’s Your Art?

July 19, 2010 – 1:00 am

{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 [...]

Just Break

July 14, 2010 – 1:00 am

{If you’re reading this via email, click the title to watch the video.} As a singer and interior designer, music fuels my work. I don’t – can’t – won’t – design anything without music. I need a playlist. A theme song. An anthem. I need to feel the rhythms that supercharge your senses, and translate [...]

How Do You Want To Feel?

June 2, 2010 – 1:00 am

I ache. I’m getting pushed and pulled and jostled in this space I’ve claimed as my own. This space – where you’re reading – right now. It’s the tension between where I could be going and where I need to go. For me. For my work. For my creative pulse. I will not ignore my [...]

A Little of Her & A Little of Him

May 5, 2010 – 1:00 am

Bedrooms are tricky. Loaded with innuendo and fraught with undercurrents of sexual tension and personal intimacy, I’m often left to piece together a private language I’m neither invited to learn nor want to share. But how else to understand how to design – mm, no – design well if I’m not offered the chance to [...]

The Case of 3am

April 30, 2010 – 1:00 am

I frequently wake at 3 in the morning with an intense case of the ceiling-stares. You can learn a lot about yourself when you’re laying in the dark, chasing fleeting thoughts and shadow ghosts. Vivid imagery will dance across my mind, taunting and teasing with intensity so deep I’m compelled to create. Yet sometimes the [...]
