You know why this photo is blurry? Because I’m always in a hurry to get somewhere ... right on time !
Also, banana leaves on a wall are an LA staple. Kind of like avocado toast is on a menu here ... it’s just something you have to try 🙂
In this particular hallway, I also used gold leaf on the original roped molding to highlight its detail...
Have an awesome weekend everyone !!

Exploring life through culture and tradition is a

Exploring life through culture and tradition is a beautiful thing...
When I was in grade school, I remember seeing a photo of a Padaung woman in my social studies book. Aka, Thai woman who wear brass coils around their necks to stretch them and It seemed unreal to me.
I decided in that moment that I was destined to travel and experience the world. That’s all i wrote in my journal about. I’ve since been to Thailand twice and to be able to share even this experience here in LA with my daughter is only the beginning . I look forward to taking her to Thailand one day.
Wat Thai Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in Los Angeles . It replicates traditional Thai temples found in Thailand .
Pre Covid, there was even a Thai food court located in the parking lot.
Thai Temple is open daily from 8 am - 7 pm.
Visitors are welcome and free to explore the grounds .

I have a thing with stripes....
I look at what I wear in the same way I design a room. I’ll forever say , start with a classic foundation and build from there. Add the fun, add the color , add your personality to make it uniquely you! Stripes will never go out of style so it’s a perfect way to start off any look.
And one last thing !!!! I CaNT BELIEVE ITS HERE!!! Design Star: Next Gen premiering on @hgtv @discoveryplus TOMORROW 9 pm ET/ PT !!!

This photo was taken after the second remodel of my home in Chicago.
The dining table was 16 feet long and we had these chairs custom made to give this area, which we called the “Ballroom” a whimsical feel. All the custom wood work was led my my other half @houseofjerrykleiner who trained my eye well . Yes, two designers in the house meant we were always looking for ways to change things up ... Exactly like we are now 😘. We loved these chairs so much we had them made to fit around our dining table in our LA home .

This green “malachite” wall is a hand - painted wall I designed . The idea was originally inspired by a candle box I received as a gift.
To this day, I have yet to use wallpaper. Im so fortunate to have the opportunity to work with many brilliant artists who can translate the vision for an idea / image I have in my mind into something magical.
As for this bathtub...
It took approx 20 min to fill with hot water. By the time I got it in, it was lukewarm at best... lol But it was a great look in our Chicago home with a bathroom this size .

Think Oprah’s 20th season big summer road trip with her best friend Gail King .... You remember that?
They left Santa Barbara and drove across country in a Chevy Impala to NYC. I’ll never forget watching as they drove up to THIS place... the Wigwam Motel on route 66 ( in San Bernardino) !! It’s also where Oprah drew the line once she saw the rooms... lol. Yes, they are still open and the tee pees are fully functional , complete with a bed and bathroom of course but they ate TIIINY and dark. Oh my gosh this place is a hoot. Capri totally wanted to spend the night of course but we had so many other fun stops to make along route 66 , we said maybe next time! 😉
Have an awesome weekend everyone!!!

Although I’ve spent several years traveling arou

Although I’ve spent several years traveling around the world eating and designing restaurants , I never knew how to cook. I could microscopically analyze a dish, but couldnt put it together to save my life .
This all changed at the start of quarantine. I subscribed to every cooking app imaginable, watched tons of videos, read thru some cookbooks, etc. After 30 days of free trials I cancelled all but @foodnetworkkitchen app! I freaking love this app. I love how organized it is , the lessons on demand and @giadadelaurentiis ! She is my absolute fav. Of course thats the 50% Italian in me talking. I’ve probably followed at least 20 or more of her recipes and it’s right up my flavor palette. I love cooking . I count it as my relax time . I can’t wait to watch Giada and Bobby Take Italy on @discoveryplus !!

She greets me right here every morning as soon as she wakes up.☺️ i’m always fully dressed before 8 am even though I mainly work from home .
Also, this bathroom is about to get a makeover . I want to get rid of the stripes in the tub area and have a mural hand painted in there ... If you have any ideas , throw them at me !

@louisvuitton Spring/Summer 2021 men’s collection designed by @virgilabloh.
This immersive shopping experience was constructed using shipping containers. The Sping/ Fall 2021 line is also focused on the use of up cycled materials .
If you are planning on checking it out get there early and put your name on the list. They don’t take reservations and only 4 people are allowed in at a time ! Fortunately , there is the beautiful beverly hills park just a couple blocks away and restaurants opened for dining outdoors !!
This temporary residence is here through the end of Feb.

Home Sweet Home 💙
After spending the past several weeks in the midwest, I couldn’t be happier to be back in LA.. Yes! I’d trade the snow for the sun anyday ☀️
Also , I was running errands in this outfit and someone said I looked like a modern Zoro.
Maybe it’s the hat 😂😂

What’s your favorite pizza !?
I know, this is a fully loaded question ( excuse the pun) 😋
Not going to lie, we waited in line 30 min before they opened to get this pie and my chi town fav may have just gotten bumped off the list for this bad boy !
Btw, Prince street pizza has permanently moved to 9161 Sunset .

I took this sled out of my parents attic and decided to give it a go. The last time I was on it was in the late 70’s. I think I lost a set of lungs on that hill. Yah, ya definitely don’t want to see me on skis 🤣 Capri on the other hand, laughed the whole way back to grandmas .
