There is definitely the"feel" of the holidays in the air--the music,Christmas decor everywhere, and the abundance of traffic! Where do all of those folks come from!!
Had a REALLY fun experience this week when I got a call from the folks at HGTV requesting that I audition for their show!! (they found me on DHome's best designers in Dallas list) They conducted a short interview on camera--which was fun because they requested that I repeat the question as I answered because the interviewer's part would be edited from the dialogue--that provided somewhat of a challenge to be creating answers AND remembering to repeat the question!! Then I was to do a presentation of my own creation which I chose to do a holiday table setting (which I do for very special clients) in this case using inventory from my own personal collection. That was also great fun to use elements from Pier One,to Neiman Marcus,to Crate and Barrel!! Actually it was very similar to the tablescape we have created at home when entertaining those that we love and want to spend holiday time with! SO we will see if the folks at HG are interested in a seasoned proffessional!!
Que Sera, Sera!!

love CHRISTMAS!!
Holiday cheer!! Does it get any better than spending an evening listening to the incredibly talented Highland Park High School choir sing their hearts out in the Spirit of Christmas!! SO young and so beautiful--that is the present for this season!!
With our home being themed in Black and White it needed that one punch of tradition and what better than RED! In our transitional/contemporary space editing is the key to that "perfect" amount of color and trimmings.With the decision on crimson we introduced 2 velvet 20" pillows from Pottery Barn (sorry gang I think I got next to the last 2 at the Knox/Henderson spot!) and on the coffee table in a cool wire sculptural bowl (purchased in--are you ready?--Estes Park,CO.!!-never know where the perfect treasure will be found!) filled with about 5-6 dozen assorted size silver balls is ONE red ornament! (found at ZGallerie--another treasure trove if you have a very discerning eye for the unique and definitely cost friendly!) Also around the neck of our lounging one-of-the-few-antiques-left bronze deer is a flowing ribbon "scarf" of vermillion.
WELL--"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas" fa lalala-lalala!!!

holiday dining
Decided it was time to launch my BLOG!! And interestingly this one is not totally about design!
Dined last evening at Dish on Cedar Springs--it is a very cosmopolitan mix of really good food (great presentation!) fascinating mix of folks and a very creative,fun,clever interior! Not to mention the wait staff are not only attractive but give exemplary service. Try to request a booth--they're a little more conducive to conversation
--IF you want to talk to whoever you came with!! Bon Appetite!!
OMG!! It's almost Christmas!! hohoho!
