Veranda Redefines Luxury

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Yesterday at the PDC Veranda hosted a documentary and all star panel on Redefining Luxury.  Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, Windsor Smith and Peter Campbell were among the panelists.

Unlike the Westweek event a few weeks ago, which completely neglected any greenspeak, Veranda celebrated the dynamic eco duo from the Q Collection, awarding them with one of their four coveted awards for the Art of Design. 

Each winner and all the panelists championed the green cause, one even defined luxury as a clean glass of water.  Again and again they reminded us that respect for the planet’s resources and healthy built environments go hand in hand with luxury, something our firm has been touting for over a decade.  The slides of their projects were breath taking and entertaining, especially the image of Kid Rock’s bedroom which looked nothing like I thought it would.  It was originally designed as a love nest for him and Pamela Anderson and apparently they were quite taken by a trip to St. Lucia.  Windsor Smith intelligently spoke about redesigning the way we use space, sharing plans on her new Mandeville Canyon equestrian compound. I wanna be Windsor when I grow up!

Dedar and Kneedler Fauchere held the reception.  As always the fabrics, flowers and food were scrumptious.  My favorites were the chocolate dipped macaroons.  Because an HGTV camera was following me around filming a day in my life, I received extra attention and a special, little interview from Carolyn Englefield, Veranda’s Editor At Large.  Fun fun fun.

Los Angeles Interior Designers…Who’s on Top?

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of market research for our new retail shop and discovered who ranks where in the Los Angeles interior design world (based on keyword searches, recent publications and blog/website mentions). Being number four never felt so good.

1. Kelly Wearstler- licensed everywhere, hosts Top Design, is entirely FAB.

2. Rose Tarlow- old guard, always refined, boyfriend isn’t too shabby

3. David Phoenix- designs for governors, streamline traditional, entertainment industry darling

4. Lori Dennis- green guru, rustic modern, organic chic

5. Karin Blake- AD 100, Americana, Malibu Mama

6. Kathryn M. Ireland- European flair, relaxed fabrics, joie de vivre

7. Nathan Turner- smart retailer, impecable style, location location location

8. Martyn Lawrence Bullard- exotic tastemaker, bold interiors, excellent name

9. Molly Luetkemeyer- Wearstler protege, funky vintage, no charity is too far

10. Barclay Butera- west coast answer to Ralph Lauren, hell of a sweetie, knows a good outdoor lantern

 and there you have it.
