Two in One House

Came across this house today in Santa Monica. I had driven by it before and always focused on just the modern part, then today i realized it was all one house! So i turned around and snapped a shot. Just love spotting cool houses like this! There are just so many things to look at here.

High Point

What an awesome time at the High Point furniture market! So before i show pictures from the show, i do just have to share this completely random happenstance of meeting a crow. If any of you don't know, when i was two (i don't remember this but have been told the story) i had a crow sit on top of my head while i was sitting in a playpen outside who wouldn't get off. Guess it scared my mom quite a bit, think it was even pecking at my head (which would explain A LOT!). Thank goodness i was too little to remember! But when i first got here, i went hiking in Griffith Park and the first thing i saw as i walked up to the path was a giant crow sitting there right in front of me. There have been other incidences but in High Point, one of the last showrooms we went into, sitting there in front of me was a bronze crow statue. Should have got him...so there, the crow and i meet again.

Anyway, got to meet some amazing design idols like Thom Filicia and Jefferey Alan Marks. Was so awesome! Not long ago i would have been too shy to hang around and introduce myself. But with Christine, i was like full speed ahead!

We had tons of fun together. The hotel we stayed in in Greensboro was insanely sketchy, thought we actually might not make it out. It was like the motel in Psycho! Creepy guys in random construction trucks parked in the parking lot, broken signs, holes in the ceilings, broken keys, no elevator, half naked guy in the room next door with the door open, yes, the tales go on! Will write more about them in my book someday!

 

 

Dinner...

I'm so afraid of getting in such a routine that i'll forget about all the thinking and learning i was doing while i didn't have a job! I don't know, all this is new to me :-) 

Anyway, had a really fun dinner party at Camerich LA, hosted by my boss Michael Lin. It had a 'Day of the Dead' theme and was beautiful. Got to meet a lot of fun LA people, including Leanne Rimes and Eddie Cibrian. He's a total cutie :-) My friend Shirley introduced me to Michael, as well as so many other LA things i never would have explored if it weren't for her. She's been an angel for me here :-)
