It is not often that one receives a gift that you want to share will all your co-workers and friends. This past Christmas I received just such a present, and simply must tell everyone about it. The amazing Ken Fulk and his Magic Factory created the ultimate travel companion: a gorgeous tote with all the components needed for a restful flight.

I was honored when Phillip James Dodd (an author and expert on classical architecture and interiors) asked me to write a chapter for his new book on the subject of collaboration. He also invited 16 other architects, designers, landscape architects, vendors and artisans to contribute their views as well. It is clear that teamwork and partnership are pivotal to successfully launching any new product, building a house or developing a new way of thinking. At Waterworks, we work in cross-functional teams where the expertise of our partners, from creative design and financial planning to sourcing and purchasing, is critical to the success of a project.

While in LA last week I indulged in a little nostalgia. I went to see the newly opened Diane von Furstenberg exhibition at LACMA. Her iconic wrap dress has been memorialized at 40 with the exhibit, THE JOURNEY of a DRESS. While it is indeed a celebration of the evolution of a dress, it is also a tribute to the designer herself, with paintings and photographs of her distinctive beauty and glamorous life.
Simple bright white "subway" tile is a good choice for this space. It is a neutral background for everyday essentials.

The word “backsplash” has become synonymous with renovating, remodeling or creating a new kitchen. It is part of the essential elements of the design. In fact, it can become the defining moment for the ubiquitous white kitchen. However, I have been thinking that tiling the backsplash is not enough in a space that should be easily maintained with a quick wash down. The solution is to tile the entire kitchen.
