Art Collector Crush

When I grow up, I want to be like Eileen Harris Norton. The activist art collector has sparked conversations about race and gender in the contemporary art world for the past thirty years and hasn’t stopped. Recently, I came across these photos of Norton’s home and my crush went up a notch (who knew it was possible?). I can’t stop daydreaming about the way Norton lives with her art. Talk about home goals!

A Cozy Sueno

The sun finally made an appearance today, but it’s still chilly out. I’ll be battling another cold weekend with a warm Sueño blanket. These handmade dreams combine Mexican sarapes and a super soft sherpa fabric to create the ultimate cozy feel. Nothing like a colorful throw to keep away the February frost. Stay warm friends!

Rainy Days

The Los Angeles sky was once again filled with clouds and rain today. These gloomy days always remind me of family and cozy interiors. In an attempt to battle away the grey, I’m sharing some of my favorite photos from Jeet Sohal’s Hancock Park home. The jeweler bravely uses color and a ton of style to fill her family digs. To see more of photos of Sohal’s home head on over to C Magazine.

Huh Interior Designs

   Recently, we were swooning over Young Huh’s timeless interior designs.  The New York City based designer creates rooms that exude a harmonious and welcoming vibe, in part, because the decor is not engaged in any distracting battles for attention.  When we see her work, all we want to do is jump right in and start enjoying the room.

   While Huh clearly has a discerning eye for design, pinpointing her creative influences is not so straightforward.  Prior to pursuing her passion for interiors, Huh studied English at Smith College and graduated from Fordham Law School.  Perhaps the skills that help her design beautiful rooms are the same ones that initially drew her to law.  If her legal background does not impact her designs maybe it’s her self described life long love of art and beauty.  Although we might never understand exactly how Huh arrives at her magical creations, one thing is certain, this multifaceted mother of three has many interests from which to draw upon.

   A life well lived could just be Huh’s ultimate weapon in dreaming up amazing interiors.  All we know for sure is that we look forward to seeing more of her work in years to come.
