Ellis Faas: Inspired by Nature

Oh I just love this home of the lovely Ellis Faas, the most influential makeup artist of today! The interior is stunning and I think really portrays Ellis is such a real way. The home is a little bohemian, with a mix of luxurious accents presented in the most gorgeous of ways. The interior palette must have been inspired by her new collection Ellis Faas Human Colours which looked to the human palette for inspiration. It's about going back to nature without having to appear natural.

Fires of the Night :-(

My throat has been hurting, my eyes are burning, and the skies have been gray all day. The California Wildfires are burning out of control and my heart goes out to all of those that have lost their homes and loved ones during this time. I have so much respect these firefighters, what an incredible job they have been doing...I can't even imagine! They are expecting the fires to hit Mt. Wilson before 2 am tonight, but let's just hope the weather works in their favor. Many of you probably aren't familiar with the Angeles National Forest (the area that has been destroyed in these fires), but let me just tell you this is home to some of the most gorgeous hiking trails in Southern California and a true source of inspiration! Here's a little room interpretation of the fire of the night...let's keep our fingers crossed that this fire can be contained!

The Perfect White Linen Sofa

I can't get enough of the white linen sofa this summer!

You have to love the Ghost Sofa from the Italian manufacturer Gervasoni. Imperfection done perfectly! I first saw these up at Malibu Market and fell in love with every detail! If you haven't been to Malibu Market you must go! The open air market with amazing views of the ocean are too die for and then to throw in the Ghost Sofa, it's just too much:-)

Not your average funiture designers!

Not only are the designs from Moroso absolutely stunning but their philosophy behind the designs and the company are not to go unrecognized. They were the first furniture manufacturer to be certified with the ISO 14001 rating. Known for recognizing the end user from the beginning, here's what they have to say "Feedback, design, global quality, respect for the environment: all these words are not empty rhetoric for us, but big and little marks of attention that are associated with every single moment of the company´s work."

Check out these stunning pieces!
