Sometimes it's about finding the right piece. That's a difficult thing to do given the incredible amount of choice we have. More often than not the wrong selections are made in interiors and money is rarely the reason. Most people don't really know 1) what is available out there and 2) what that perfect piece looks like (trust me there is always a perfect piece). The secret is taking your time and considering options that you normally would not. Stepping out of your comfort zone will give you new options you never truly considered and will bring you closer to making that right choice. Don't worry, if you still don't know; call me! Chances are I do.

The crazy fabulous peacock is back; thank goodness! I can really use some fabulous right about now. Although most associate the peacock with folly and drama anything goes as far as interiors are concerned. Any space can benefit from peacock inspired acessories textiles and furnishings. If yours is a classical space and restraint is your thing, an antique peacock paper screen will add just the right touch of bold. On the other hand if you are wild and live in an eclectic environment, feel free to upholster your walls with some peacock inspired textile and throw in a rug while you are at it. whatever the case may be, the proud peacock inspires some serious decorating.

100% DESIGN LONDON (www.100percentdesign.co.uk), was smaller but more spirited than ever with increased numbers of emerging designers. Nothing like a global economic breakdown to get designers going again. I say, the lovely Ana Maria (accidental, I think not) has created the noose light: a macabre translation of the bare light globe.
