I'm beyond smitten with the stand alone Pacific Palisades home office that invites and encourages creativity with an eclectic mix of furnishings and a fabulously complex built in cabinet storage wall. Would you like a little look into my design process and how I went about pulling this together? Of course you do! Where we started with this was a blank white room. It was lacking pizzazz. It was lacking color. It was lacking storage. How could anyone be expected to get work done in this bland...

I can say I'm better off not being in Paris or the South of France with the current heat wave, but the truth is I would take a French summer any way you slice it. Instead, I will embrace the inspiration gathered from previous trips in a style post for the home. J'adore.

Summer is hands down the one and only season for me. I come to life and want to share that radiant energy with the world. Nothing feels more summery to me than the sea and the shore. Clearly, I'm not the only one.
