color my world — mary mcdonald

mary mcdonald for schumacher
advert fea­tur­ing mary mcdon­ald fab­rics for schumacher

How would you describe this space? Neu­tral room? Orange room? Mod­ern? Tra­di­tional? In a word: exquis­ite. The drap­ery panel fab­ric, Chi­nois Palais from Schu­macher, have a ver­ti­cal repeat of 131.5" ! You need 11 foot ceil­ings to accom­mo­date the full pat­tern. If only…

Equally beau­ti­ful in all col­or­ways, espe­cially Letttuce:

Visit Schu­macher to see the entire col­lec­tion from Mary McDon­ald — absolutely delicious!

bathtastic! brushing up on brizo

How excit­ing is this? Brizo is tak­ing a small group of design­ers, archi­tects and blog­gers to Fash­ion Week in New York next month, and I am one of them! An all expenses-paid trip to intro­duce the fashion-forward Brizo brand, ses­sions with the prod­uct and design teams and a chance to meet fash­ion designer Jason Wu after his Fall 2012 col­lec­tion show at Mer­cedes Benz Fash­ion Week. Yes, I will clear my sched­ule for this! Thanks Brizo!

Brizo is a brand known for its col­lab­o­ra­tions with design­ers, and its fash­ion­able designs really reflect that atti­tude. Here are just two of their beau­ti­ful lava­tory faucets, each a styl­ish step above the ordinary:

If, like me, you pre­fer to think of faucets less as a util­i­tar­ian neces­sity and more as jew­elry for the bath­room, you will appre­ci­ate the styling of Brizo. Stay tuned for updates from New York as I learn more about the Brizo brand!
