Hey Wally..my brother, Tim sent me this link that is really impressive. The above is the "Before" shot of a transformed tiny space (24 sq meters!!) with every bit utilized.

This, of course, is completely inspirational to me given my previous post (living with stacked-to-the-ceiling moving boxes)..

Here is the "After" shot.

Makes you wonder about all the "stuff" we surround ourselves with.

Be sure to check out the video..it's really quite amazing.

Talk soon...after I wade through some of my "stuff".

Wally..long-time-no-blog. I know we have both been running around for months since our last job together on OurTime. I finally uploaded all the spots to my new website.

Well, my hair is still on fire..but with personal stuff now.

After 11 years in storage, I finally have reclaimed some beautiful pieces that I will share
with you over the next few weeks. Please note the "FRYE Boots" box in the photo above..
That's the real McCoy from my original Frye Boots circa 1975..just the box not the boots (bummer!)

Most of them are in need of some serious TLC.
At the moment, our house looks as though we have just moved in.
Right now it's a bit overwhelming... so much so that I felt the need to get some great style inspiration.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this site that Diane forwarded me from an art director friend.
It's call Pinterest...a great way to digitally scrapbook all your favorite things...and easily reference them.

Check out some of my Pinterest style links here.

and let me know what you think.
I would LOVE to see what pins you come up with.

lol,

DP

Wally, I just stumbled upon this amazing piece of animation and had to share it..
enjoy!

Bamboo iphone cases / SF

2010-10-03T10:27:00.000-07:00

Dear Wally...

So sorry to hear about your Parisian iphone getting pickpocketed! (Guess it could have been worse...remember when all of our luggage was stolen in Spain)? What a bummer! Your phone and case..too cute...gone! My own case is looking pretty bedraggled...so I started poking around and found these gorgeous laser-cut bamboo cases from GroveMade. GroveMade is based in Portland.

You can also design your own for a completely customized look. Most designs retail for ~49.00.
A fantastic price if you think of it as an art piece.

last sighting of iPhone before it was stolen on the Metro!

Dunkle just had to share. i know Paris is your favorite place in the world. there's so much more to show and tell but i wanted to finally get something to you. we stayed at the Hotel Pont Royal in Saint Germain des Pres. great location and lovely botique hotel. we had an ancient cathedral outside our bedroom window! we got a 5 day pass on the Batobus which took us up and down the Seine and dropped us off at places like Notre Dame and the Louvre. most of these pictures are 12 year old Graces' as my phone-my only camera-got stolen on the second day of our trip. more highlights later. - k

I LOVE ABBOT KINNEY

2010-07-27T21:13:00.000-07:00

Dunkle. how can this street keep getting better and better? and NOT ONE CHAIN STORE. Nanc said she'd had lunch at Hals with a friend - love Hals - and found some good shops and bought a thing or two. sad that i missed out on the excursion i had the chance to drop by the next day. i only had limited time but this is what i found:

fiore designs, 1617 Abbot Kinney

Bohemian Exchange, 1358 Abbot Kinney

At fiore i found great stuff for two bathrooms including a relative of the above bird (will document later). at Bohemian Exchange i found a great dress (somehow i only documented the jewelry) at a great price.

Bedroom update/LA

2010-06-14T12:30:00.000-07:00

one of the first things any divorced woman should do is burn the marriage bed. chop it up, throw gas on it and ignite. my friend and brilliant designer Lorri Kline sat me in front of the computer and in two seconds we had ordered the Ikea Malm Bed. Tag line: Clean lines, Calm bedroom. sounds good to me (especially at $199). next stop Roberta Roller Rabbit sheets at the Brentwood Country Mart. inspired by the colors i painted a backdrop. finally i found the perfect lamps at Landon Cole Furniture. it's not always calm around here but my bedroom always makes me happy. especially when i shut the door.

Peeking inside Landon Cole: amazing lamps and more.

Fabric store i forgot the name of nearby.

Dispela Antiques.

Liz's Antique Hardware.

Dunkle. long time no blog! i know that we are both loosing our minds being single moms and all BUT i have gotten a few respites. Memorial weekend i called my friend Melody. i needed to go somewhere special sans children with food, cocktails and great atmosphere. we ended up on La Brea at Tar Pit Restaurant. very chic. just what the doctor ordered. afterwards we walked the streets and window shopped. here are a few pics i took. i ended up going back to Landon Cole the next day and getting some key things for my house: lamps for my redesigned bedroom and pillows for evolving living room.

Art House Fundraiser Marin California

2010-05-03T09:40:00.000-07:00

Wally, there is a very cool fundraiser project, sponsored by the Ritter Center, going on right now in Marin County. The Ritter Center has launched Art Houses of Marin, a new community-wide public art project to raise awareness of the increased pressures faced by homeless and low-income families here in Marin.

We are lucky enough to have a beautiful art house painted by artist/resident, Eric Zener right in downtown Mill Valley at Litton Square. I believe Eric Zener is also the artist who created the painting I fell in love with at the Westin Maui, of a woman swimming to the surface. Remember?

For more information on the project, you can check out the other artists and project details on the video below.

NYC Destinations: High Line, Chelsea market and Williamsburg

2010-04-28T13:23:00.000-07:00

Dunkle, we love the Abingdon Guest House because of the west village location and price. and it doesn't hurt that the chocolate bar is right next door. every morning either Nanc or i ventured out first thing and bought lattes and mochas to get us up and out. on Saturday, our last day, i'd read about the High Line park and really wanted to see it first hand. i wasn't disappointed. it's a park built in the sky on the skeleton of the old elevated rail system that serviced the meat markets. see pics below.

we started at the south end and exited the stairs at the north end. we found ourselves at the Chelsea market. our buddy mel had taken us there years ago when it first opened. i'd forgotten how fun it is - especially if you're hungry.

we then hopped the subway, because you always have to ride the subway in NY, and took the very long way to Brooklyn. Willaimsburg to be exact. it was a little sketchy for us. the good stuff was here and there but not all in one place.

Friday in New York City

2010-04-25T19:34:00.000-07:00

Dunke, this trip to the City i was more in need of a little food for the soul and brain than the shopping fix of years past (remember our trip a few years ago when we stayed at 60 Thompson and traipsed all over the city visiting all our favorite shops?) i wanted to make sure i got some visual stimulation so Nanc and i decided to visit the Guggenheim. there was something there i really wanted to see "Contemplating the Void. Interventions in the Guggenheim museum". on the occasion of the building's 50th anniversary, the Guggenheim invited nearly 200 artists, architects, and designers from around the world to imagine their dream interventions in its center space. there through April 28 and definitely seeing.

also at the Guggenheim, Haunted: Contemporary Photography/Video/Performance. in the shot above Nanc and i became part of the exhibit.

here's Nancy waiting in line for her second (or third) cupcake of the trip at magnolia Bakery on Bleecker. across the street at Irma the owner confirmed that magnolia is not what it once was. the original owners sold it and i can attest it is not as tasty as before. but let me tell you about Irma - small boutique with gorgeous stuff. i scored big time. i will definitely put it on my list of places to pop in to when i visit NYC.

that night we had a snack at Sardis before seeing Enron on Broadway. enjoyed it. didn't think it was amazing. had to snap a picture of this adorable girl at Sardis. love the bow.

we ended our night at the Spotted Pig. it got a lot of raves and had plenty of atmosphere but the all pork menu kinda grossed us out at midnight. still it was a great night out. it had been ninety the day before and now the weather was windy and brisk with sprinkles of rain. fun for running around late at night.

NYC Trip - first 24 hours

Polarize camera app for iPhone

iPhone camera

Hipstamatic iPhone app

Angela, i'm so excited to be actually in the air and on my way. the kids will have to fend for themselves for a few days! must check out iPhone camera apps to see how i'm going to document. i've decided to leave the fancy camera home - i want to travel light.

taxi takes us to the city and Nanc and i throw down our bags at our West Village abode and we walk to Cafe Cluny. nowhere is there a better beet salad. everything else there is great too. next day we did something that i've always wanted to do - took the Circle Line Boat Tour all around manhattan. fun. views of the city from our boat below.

that night we had a drink at the Bowery Hotel. Great lobby bar and out door drinks area. then we met Cindy at Il Buco at 47 Bond Street right around the corner. LOVED IT. along with some other delicious dishes we had trigger fish - ever heard of that before? it was mouth watering. first 24 hours a rip roaring success!

Happy Earth Day/ sf

2010-04-23T08:57:00.000-07:00

Wally, last night Will and I celebrated Earth Day in grand style by taking in Disney's new film, "Oceans". I can't remember the last time I was spellbound by a G-rated movie. "Oceans" is nothing short of phenominal. You and the kids will LOVE it. Happy Earth Day.

Hi Wally, I LOVE the Statue of Liberty shot you posted from your NY trip with Nance.
It has been crazy hectic up north here for quite a while...We are getting a lot of April showers...and I'm NOT complaining. I snagged this shot between intermittent showers at the Marin County Civic Center. Double rainbow!! Look for my posts to come on summer camp ideas for the kids... tis the season for sign-ups.

Annual Trek to NYC

2010-04-15T21:05:00.000-07:00

Dunkle, just letting you know that details of my trip are coming soon. Nanc and i had amazing food - we ate at Cafe Cluny three times! checked out Williamburg and saw Enron on Broadway.

Sea World - no one eaten on our watch

2010-02-26T20:08:00.000-08:00

hi there Dunkle. It's been a while since we've connected. i know we've both been so busy. President's Day weekend my whole family went to San Diego to celebrate my mom's birthday.

We did go to Sea World and managed NOT see anyone get dragged under or eaten! i'm imagining those kids in Florida are scarred for life. i did notice, however, that Sea World needs about a 2 million dollar make over-at the very least change the music for Shamu show. it's gotta be from the '80's. we, of course, had fun as we always do.

we stayed at the Hotel Del Coronado. could NOT complain about the room. amazing view. a little creeped out about the alleged ghost. some lady killed herself 100 years ago because her lover never showed up. my mom was dying to see her and tell her no guy is worth it. move on!

does this balcony have our name written all over it? somehow our travel agent got me a supersized upgrade. LOVE HER. she can be reached at travelbyterri@aol.com.

LA/Adventure with Bug Eyes

2010-01-21T04:31:00.000-08:00

this one didn't get very far. about half a mile to be exact. lost steam and had to send Bug Eyes off to Gary the mechanic. Grace and i had some quality time waiting for the tow truck. will keep you posted Dunkle on further adventures. good to see you and your fab friend, Lisa, last Saturday at Anisette. that food was so good - and the waiter wasn't bad either!

Happy New Year!

2010-01-01T16:10:00.000-08:00

Hey Dunks, hope your New Years was as enjoyable as ours. we did NOTHING and loved it! i'm so looking forward to the next decade. i was going to pan the old one (certainly have reason enough!) but then i started making a list of all the good things that happened: i watched my kids go from zero and three to eight and TWELVE (can't believe it!), i started horse back riding again, i got closer to my mom, got out of a relationship that was bad for me and got the best dog ever. my new years resolution is to be very present/in the moment and to put myself in situations that are good for me and ENJOY them!

xo kelly

P.S. let me know how Christmas in Seattle was. find any cool new places?

TwoFab/LA - Best Mom Ever!

2009-12-27T17:29:00.000-08:00

Dunkle, i spent the day at a Magic Castle today. it wasn't exactly Carcassone! but by using the Polarize App i have managed to make it appear much more mysterious than it actually is. i was such a good mom and entertained myself by taking pictures while my children and their friend spent over two hours using up over 400 tokens, amassing thousands of tickets that they then turned in for a minimal amount of cheap toys and candy. they had the time of their lives and i enjoyed watching.

The Magic Castle is in Sherman Oaks and also has mini golf and a batting cage. the App is Polarize. now that i've got this down i want to know what App you used in Hawaii for the postcards that you made that can also go on Facebook?

My Latest Production - Tween Birthday Party

2009-12-23T09:24:00.000-08:00

Eat, laugh, shop, laugh, laugh, laugh. based on the laughter and the energy and excitement that went in to the shopping i have once again produced a terrific birthday party for Gracie. Dunkle, they would have done you proud with the bona fide shopping frenzy that ensued! the apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

i booked the kitchen table at the Santa Monica Bocca di Beppo

simultaneous sipping of italian sodas

they provided the cake - you know i love easy

each kid had $15 to spend between Forever 21 and Sephoria on the Third Street Promenade

we shut down the Promenade!

Polarize this!

2009-12-06T15:21:00.000-08:00

Dunkle, glad to see you are back! I haven't had time to get to Anthropology on Third Street. But i am excited to do so as our beloved babysitter(and so much more)'s housemate does the store displays. I did get to ICE at Santa Monica which is nearby on 5th. I documented Quinn there with a new iPhone App that Esther just told me about, Polarize.

Here's Grace giving the App a go. it enables you to write whatever you want on it.

and here's a picture Esther took of her new kitten with Polarize. it's so fun you must try. xo kelly

anthropologies's winter wonderland / sf

2009-12-05T10:49:00.000-08:00

wally...apologies for my long-overdue updates. pre-holidays have been filled with kids, kids and MORE kids obligations and activities. that being said, i couldn't wait another minute to share these shots from our local anthropologie store located in corte madera, here in marin county.

this tree was created on site and constructed from actual tree branches. the leaves are all tissue paper, cut and hung by hand.

these displays are absolutely magical and worth a trip just to take it all in. people are "oohing and ahing" all over the store (and they haven't even broken their wallets out yet!). each anthropologie store has it's own stylist crew and is given a theme. no two stores are alike. i would love to see what they've done at the third street promenade store in santa monica.( hint)

the entire display you see here was created with mere tissue paper. this particular section of the store has soaring ceilings. the stylists cut thousands of ribbons from snowy-white tissue paper then draped it from the rafters above to create this dreamy snow fall effect.

when a slight breeze blows through the store, the ribbons sway with it.

my favorite display was this section of the store that created hundreds of tissue paper flowers from white, ivory and creme tissue paper. it is absolutely gorgeous. giant pom-poms from floor to ceiling that spill from the interior of the store out to the front windows. i felt like i was waiting for a winter wedding to begin.

the pom-poms are all back lit with bulbs wrapped in chicken wire which creates this ethereal effect... i left so inspired. it was truly a "winter wonderland".

i want one. what is it?

2009-11-05T21:37:00.000-08:00

Dunkle, it's way past my bedtime but i'm site hopping and finding all kinds of crazy stuff. Click here and maybe you can figure out what i will do with this once i have it!

Cranky Mom's house now opens to the outside

2009-11-04T09:14:00.000-08:00

i have spent years loathing this window and crappy slider that doesn't lock without a stick! they aren't even at the same height. Moises is starting the process to get rid of them. i am so excited.

Marco had to build this support that is actually holding up this part of the house. we had to get rid of a vertical support beam and put in a horizontal one to prepare for the LARGE set of LaCantina doors that will open acordian style making our living room open up completely to the outdoors. cool!

holy crap! there they are! i love them just like this but....

they can do more! now we can throw the ball to Rufus while sitting on our butts indoors...just kidding.

PS doors have clear glass. as seen from indoors above they are taped up for protection.
