i can’t articulate how amazing — and how amazingly cool — our former president is.

and moreover, he’s a good man.

no…a great man.

and the best of who we all should aspire to be.

Totem Sculptures – Ashley Hicks

somewhere near the top of my list of ‘very unnecessary’ desires is a tabletop sculpture from ashley hicks.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

ashley is based in the uk. give him a holler. he’ll create a sculpture especially for you.

each sculpture is about 20 inches tall. each is unique. customizable. terribly un-british.

Michele Oka Doner

an artist of the first caliber. i had the good fortune to meet her in 2017.

we need more like her. those who bring chic, elegance, and beauty to the world.

she does…both in presence and deed.

Floor Lamps

if you ask anyone, they’ll tell you that floor lamps are one of my least favorite design elements. i avoid them whenever possible.

but…i need a space — or a client — that needs a quirky, show-stopping, tony duquette-inspired floor lamp.
