A Little Leopard

These two spaces featured in Elle Decor have me jonesing to reupholster a little occasional chair with a splash of leopard print. Place it on a neutral rug, add a big abstract painting, and you're good to go!

P.S. Happy birthday, Dad! I love you so much.

Pour L'Artiste

The Glamourai described these inspiration photos for her apartment redo as "one part inspirational office space and several parts exotic opium den." While that's never how I would describe my own style, there is something delightfully off-kilter about this interior. A tribal rug, vintage leather chair, brassy lamp with a red shade, aqua bolster, and unhung art never looked so harmonious together, don't you agree?

Crunch Time!

A little glimpse at my weekly to do list...


1. A ten-page paper about the theme of betrayal in 17th century French theater. Yikes.

2. A quick presentation about the failure of FEMA to respond to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

3. An eight-page paper about non-traditional family structures and sex trafficking around the world.

4. A "Meet The Designer" piece for Rue.

5. A "Rue Shops [insert surprise city here]" piece.

6. A home tour piece for Rue.

7. Another home tour piece for Rue.

8. Book my flight to San Francisco.

9. Send out emails for a super fun, top secret project for Roxy's forthcoming Society Social furniture line.

10. Throw something together for Dad's birthday (tomorrow), my brother's birthday (Friday), and Mother's Day (Sunday).
