I love anything and everything GOLD! Trying to figure out how to incorporate it into some CRC pieces.

Hope you had a great weekend. Mine was filled with work and play time with Nurse A.

 Gearing up for a big week ... working for a show at Oxford Floral on Friday.

Heaven

I have fallen in love.... no really I have. This Manhattan apartment from the March Architectural Digest juuust might complete me. 

From the article:

The apartment occupies a high floor overlooking Central Park and offers views in every direction, with scant skyscraper obstruction. The living room has both northern and southern exposures, which gives it the openness of a country estate. “You come up from the streets, where it’s crazy,” she says, “and it’s so peaceful and expansive here.”

Well yeahhhh I bet it is so peaceful.

I love the coziness of this room. Michael S. Smith, the decorator, wanted to connect the space to the sky instead of the greenery of the park. This intimate dining area feels like heaven in the sky to me!

A Louis XVI mahogany daybed completes the guest bedroom sitting area.

Where da gold at?? Gold Leaf adorns the walls of the wife's dressing area. 

If there was a Klimt painting hanging on this wall I probably would be crying right now.

This master bedroom is my favorite. 

The walls and fabrics are a combo of pearl-grey, cream, white, and pale lavender. Yummmmy.

When the owners get tired of this space they can retreat to one of their other properties in Los Angeles, Malibu, London, New York, or Majorca .... all designed by Michael S. Smith. Go figure.

There are lots of more photographs on this space at the Architectural Digest website.

OK, well I am going to pick up my jaw from the floor and get back to work. I'm thinking you should do the same, its bad to covet.

Liza Jane

I have been working on my new line, Liza Jane. Can't wait to debut it on Leavie Rose. Liza Jane Collection is named after one of my very best friends who is such an individual and as soon as she walks into a room, Liza has every ones attention. This work captures her playful nature, is classic, and has touches of her golden luster.

This is us at Ole Miss. Love my Lou Lou.

I have also been going through all of my prized art books (love collecting them!) and it has been fun seeing what inspired me during Art School; reading notes I wrote in the margins and little designs all through old sketch books.

My favorite book is of my favorite artist, Gustav Klimt. His depiction of a woman's body is mesmerizing. While I am not aiming to capture a woman's body, I am trying to capture her spirit. I love his use of soft lines and GOLD leaf. Klimt paintings and my dear friend's spirit are both huge inspirations to the Liza Jane Collection.

Hopefully you will get to see the Liza Jane Collection soon!
