The Parker Hotel by Jonathan Adler
One of my favorite hotels to get away is The Parker in Palm Springs. There is nothing better for a designer than to retreat in such an inspiring place! I love the mix of mid century with contemporary and just plane funky decor. In every corner there is something new and exciting to discover. I would like to give Mr. Jonathan Adler a very strong nod! Thank you...
Tile Inspiration
I remember the first couple design project I worked on, I was pretty reserved with my tile selections for clients. Tile isn't always cheap and its not something you want to overlook.
Now Its one of my very favorite stages in the design process. You can really make a room with the right materials. Here are a couple of concepts I am working on right now.
Enjoy!
Wedding in the woods.
Wedding by M. Swabb
When my brother asked me seven months ago to help him and my now sister in law plan their wedding I was thrilled. Then he told me he wanted to host the wedding at a 8+ acre YMCA campsite for three days all the while accommodating 170+ people. I was wondering what I signed myself up for. Did I mention we had a beer budget? I have to admit, nerves weren't the only thing keeping me up a night. I had some serious doubts about pulling this one off.
With a ton of planning and lots of help from friends and family members the wedding turned out better than any of us imagined.
The very long pathway to the wedding was filled with handmade origami and white paper lanterns to add texture and color, pink kissed ivory roses hanging from trees with rustic rope.
The Reception was full of organic colors and the smell of fresh mint and rosemary as they lined the tables.
All and all I must say it was well worth the risk - I would do it all over again.
