I'm so excited to be back in New York and catching up with old friends... literally. Last night I met up with some former ICRAVE co-workers/ great friends for a lovely dinner at Catch a new seafood eatery in New York they designed for Top Chef winner, Hung Huynh. What a perfectly wonderful end to a fantastically crazy day. I'll be back home in a few days where it's full speed ahead to finish up a pretty big project I'm working on. I can't wait to share.

I just spent a wonderful weekend in Palm Springs and now I'm whisking off to New York for a few days. While fashion week has moved on to other glamorous cities around the world, New York market week is just beginning... and I'll be there with bells and whistles. I'll be spending most of my day at the Curve Lingerie Show helping out my mum with her new Gold Hawk sleep-ware collection (which can totally be worn out as well). The best part is that it will be displayed in this little number I created for her a while back. I know a lovely friend of mine Alison from Faire Frou Frou will be there, and if you happen to be around as well I'd love for you to drop by and say Hello!]]>
I'm beyond excited to take a mini vacation to Palm Springs for the weekend to celebrate one of my best friends 30th birthday. All I can hope for is a little sunshine, some good food, and amazing company. Here are a few birthday gems inspired by a colorful new Palm Springs resort, The Saguaro. Happy, Happy Birthday Kare-Bear!

I'm absolutely mad about these lovely lights from Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co. The finish and shade options are endless and the price points are beyond reasonable. What a perfect way to bring some personality to any space.
Have a bright weekend!

Recently a friend asked me for some advice... he wanted to infuse a little design and personality into his currently very brown abode. I jumped on the opportunity as most of my clients tend to be female... I thought doing something slightly more masculine would be fun for a change. I basically used most of his existing pieces, like the brown sofa, and large metal trunk as a starting point and added some color and texture to create a cohesive design. What an improvement! ]]>
... who's the brassiest one of all? I can't get enough of Mono Cane's selection of amazing vintage golden beauties. I would take them all if possible, and that gold vanity mirror on a clamp base is especially insane. Totally go check out the rest of their goods, each piece is better then the last. ]]>
A few months ago I worked on a super fun little design project. An absolutely lovely client wanted to infuse a little life, color, and a touch of herself into her previously sterile and corporate office. We overhauled the furniture added a few pops of color, some organizational elements and an inspirational gallery wall... et voilà, a happy new work environment. Above is the mood board I created, and below are photos of the finished office. I'm loving the way it turned out. Go to J. Marx Atelier to see more photos of this and other projects. If you feel like your in need of a little space-lift, please contact me for more information.
Have a lovely weekend!!!

... for a side table with attitude. These lovely numbers from Made Goods are perfect examples of how side tables can become little jewels in a space. Essentially, they are small pieces of art with a function... in other words, a perfect place to perch your cocktail. ]]>
