Studio Tour via Adore Home Magazine

Have you checked out the latest issue of Adore Home Magazine? It's a good one! It's the "New York Edition" and features some of the most stylish people and places in the big city. I was especially taken with the newly redesigned office space of Cameo Public Relations in Midtown Manhattan, designed by Nichole Loiacono of NL Designs. How adorable, chic and fabulous is this place?! The lovely vintage tufted sofa was snagged from Craigslist and the large sideboard (on left of room) was a freebie from the owner's aunt, which received a fresh coat of black paint to give it an instant update. Click here to check out the new issue and flip to page 49 to view the entire article on Cameo PR's office space. Do you love it as much as I do?!

New Book Release: Live, Love & Decorate

Many of you may be familiar with Martyn Lawrence Bullard from the recent hit show on Bravo, Million Dollar Decorators. Martyn proved to be quite a character, often using words like "Daaaahling" (darling) and "Delicious." It was interesting to be able to take a peek into the life of an incredibly talented interior designer who has designed for top celebrities like Elton John, Cher, The Osbournes, Kid Rock, among many others. I was fortunate to receive an advanced copy of his first book, Live, Love & Decorate, which chronicles some of his most incredible projects to date and is filled with incredibly beautiful and inspiring images of his creations! "Drawn to glamour, Martyn Lawrence-Bullard, today’s Tony Duquette if you will, moved from London to Los Angeles to pursue acting, but became a star decorator instead, financing his way with a keen eye for flea market finds, which evolved into his hugely successful design business." If you're a design book junkie like myself, then you MUST get this book to add to your collection! To put it simply, it's Delicious Dahling :) Have a great weekend! xoxo - Julie
