I guest blogged for Pretty Little Underthings today…here’s my holiday wish list!

What a treat! Pattern Pulp and Laurie Rosenwald were collectively featured in Elle Decor’s What We’re Reading column. Check it out!

If you’re online and hunting for inspiration, I’d say it’s a given that you’ve visited Design*Sponge. Grace Bonney and her team of writers have created an archival mecca rich with content for nearly a decade now, serving up inspiration and a discerning eye on the design community at large.
That’s why it’s a pleasure (and an honor!) to be featured as part of their Sneak Peek series. My husband and I moved into our one bedroom apartment three summers ago and embarked on a gut renovation to expose all of the hidden details that had been locked behind dry wall. Our building was a former paper mill turned pickle factory and was converted to a Co-Op in the early 80s. It was my goal to merge our creative tastes (modern minimalism meets quirky humor) and infuse print and pattern wherever possible. Here’s a look at the results!

Empowering creative talent can be a daunting task. Wouldn’t it be nice if they taught it in college? Aside from first hand experience, it’s interesting to watch other professions manage the balance, making business align with creativity.
That said, any platform that provides the tools to showcase, share and discover new work is a true asset to the community and we have Scott Belsky and his dedicated team at Behance to thank for an incredible service. I crossed paths with Belsky at this year’s SXSWi, which lead to textural conversation and a subsequent curatorial collaboration. I enjoyed exploring the site and am excited to share the resulting gallery!
A week ago we had a pattern-heavy affair, otherwise known as a wedding celebration (!) I wanted to share a few pictures of the space along with our favorite details. We teamed up with Miya Hirabayashi and Elisabeth Fraser from You Plus me Styling and it’s all documented in the pages of Rue Magazine’s latest issue. Check out page 136 for the story…we went more variety show than wedding.
Also, here’s a beautiful video shot by Matt Sundin of a behind the scenes narrative of the night. It was a surprise and a gift to get the video and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you!

As you’re all aware, this past weekend New York City celebrated everything that is contemporary design with one of the world’s most well-regarded design fairs, the annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF).
We had an opportunity to share a few favorites from the show with Marina Cashdan of the Huffington Post Arts. Click here to see the round up!
