I confess, I bought this camera for the store because I want to be photographed using this camera for the ultimate camp photo shoot.

Thank you @elledecor for using so many pieces from Michele Varian in this beatuful spread. Even though, we don’t have a piece in every photo, we have something in most of them, which means the style of the photo shoot is very much my flavor. So, I posted the whole thing for everyone to enjoy and be inspired to go out and pick up your own copy. Just son’t drool on the pages. These dark images won’t hold up to much salivating.

These are a metallic silver and a white on white version of the THORNBIRD wallpaper pattern. In these colorways, the thorny pattern actually looks sweet. Which do you like best?

These are the metallic versions of the PLUME wallpaper. What’s not to love? I think I’m going to use the copper one in my bedroom. I think the feathers floating to the ground will be very serene and sleep inducing. Plus, our bedroom is very dark, so they’ll reflect a lot of light.

This is my PLUME pattern wallpaper in 2 versions with black backgrounds. I think the black on black in the THORNBIRD  pattern is still my favorite. 

We couldn’t resist making the most of Valentine’s Day with our window too. It doesn’t hurt that our lovely new LOVE sculptures look so lovely with the covers of the Design Sponge book (with my apartment in it) and Decorate (with a quote from me).

I love the book cover of JayZ’s, “Decoded”. Publishers are pushing the design envelope in order to keep print books relevant. Great news for us design geeks. Plus, I’m really curious to read about JayZ. he’s obviously a really smart man.
