Latest Charity Project
Vanessa De Vargas from Turquoise LA has done it again with an impressive charity project that unites interior designers and companies to help a space in need. Last year, she tackled a homeless shelter for women and children. This year, she worked with seven other designers to revamp a new teen homeless center in just one month! I was one of those designers that helped with her latest project “The Teen Project P.A.D.”

My New Book – The Design Cookbook: Recipes for a Stylish Home

From Medallion Press | Press Release:
These days, many of us are spending increasing time and energy in our homes. We’re cooking and dining in, gardening, and tapping into our inner Mr. and Ms. Fix-it. Instead of hiring a designer, we are joining the do-it-yourself diehards to create spaces we love. At least, we would if we knew how!
Enter Kelly Edwards, cohost of Design on a Dime and My Awesome Room, who will guide us step by step from basic design projects to total transformations. As a lover of cookbooks and design, Kelly presents her tips in a fun and accessible collection of “recipes.” With hundreds of photographs and tips from amazing designers and tastemakers, The Design Cookbook: Recipes for a Stylish Home bridges the gap between a typical coffee table book and a DIY guide. Focusing on ingredients, proportions, and overall design aesthetics, Kelly delivers a guide for us to cook up our most stylish homes yet. Combine these ingredients to create your cozy, fabulous home—starting today!
