Where have I been?

That’s a great question.  I miss writing more here, but now that I’m taping my new show 3 days a week and managing my firm the other 4 days - not to mention getting ready for the arrival of my little girl (due date of Aug 18th) time keeps slipping through my hands.

I can tell you that everything is great - never been better.  Thanks again to all of you that drop a note to check in.  Hopefully you’re still enjoying the KBTV episodes that are uploaded on Monday and Thursdays.  My new place is pretty much done and I hope to tape the ‘reveal’ of my place soon.

Also, I thought I would give you a sneak peek into the Hammer Residence that I recently completed.  One of my favorite publications, Western Interiors will be shooting it soon for an upcoming issue.

Mirror Mirror on my Wall

I am in love with Antique Mirror at the moment.  While it is not functional for a bathroom, I am using a lot of it in other areas for my projects.  Often viewed as a very traditional element in home decor (especially with the word Antique) I am using it in more modern applications. 

A mirror can work anywhere - it acts like a window in a room allowing the eye to escape.

This modern version of a starburst mirror would look great over an entry console with a collection of mercury glass. 

I have the single version of this Paul Marra sconce on either side of my library entrance.  At night when the light reflects off of the antique mirror, it creates a dramatic mood.  Check out other pieces from Paul Marra at http://www.paulmarradesign.com
