This week you're getting a little peak into my hometown of Louisville. I've been feeling sentimental and a little righteous the last few days due to the incredible talent of my home town basketball team. What a heart felt week they've had. I hope they kick some ass tonight. They deserve it.

As I'm thinking about where to travel next, Mexico City being high on my list, I am drawn to artists like Cuban born Jorge Pardo. As a painter, sculptor, designer and architect his work explores the crossroads between design and fine art. A while back I fell hard for a house that he designed for a client in Naguabo, Puerto Rico. It's rich in color and texture, combining the classic and the contemporary. He leaves most of the concrete structure open, wrapping it in red metal screens instead of glass, creating a blood red swimming pool and shifting the color of the floor tiles from yellow at the front of the house to blue at the back. This house pushes the boundaries as does all of his work.

Pattern Play in Miami.

A couple of weeks ago I took a trip to Miami, a city that always gets my creative juices flowing. While walking the design district and hitting my favorite vintage stores and just soaking up my time at The Standard hotel I was constantly inspired by the patterns and textures that surrounded me.

Vieques Island.

It's been a pretty busy couple of months and I'm hoping to get back to some consistent blogging very soon. In the mean time I took the most wonderfully relaxing vacation last week with my best friend to Vieques, off the coast of Puerto Rico. I love traveling and getting inspired and I was hoping to post photos via Facebook and Instagram to document my trip in real time, but this island was so remote that I didn't get reception. What a treat that turned out to be... a real vacation! We stayed at the very modern and very cool Hix Island House. Below are some of my favorite sites and shots. Enjoy!

In case you weren't sure which bathroom to use at the Hix Island House pool...

Alison and I always manage to pick up a cat on vacation.

A quick stop by the new W resort on Vieques.

All That Glitters in NYC.

April 25, 2012

I love my trips to NYC! This time I got to attend the book party for Susanna Salk's new book, Be Your Own Decorator: Taking Inspiration from Today's Top Designers, in which I was happy to be included. Apparently I couldn't get enough of shiny, reflective surfaces while I was there, whether it be jewelry or clothing racks.
