Thanks to Bryan Venegas, Set Designer of Brothers & Sisters, for specifying a handful of our accessories for his set. Bryan has been kind enough to shop here in the past for the show, and I'm really excited about his selection of our Tea Caddy, Moroccan Box and Rosewood Lacquer Tissue Holder. Looking forward to seeing their screen debuts. I love this show because it reminds me of those awkward family reunions, where everyone starts airing dirty secrets at the dinner table. You can watch full episodes of Brothers & Sisters online HERE.

A Los Angeles Designer's Diary on interior design, furniture, fashion, and lifestyle
I actually do feel bad for Ashley (one of our Plush Home interns) for having the thankless job of teaching me how to use my new Blackberry Tour. We just ordered a handful for our office staff, but they’re all the same color — I don’t need to look up Nostradamus’s chart to read the future on this one…
We've had great response with our recent Renovation Style cover editorial. The Gatsby Chairs in particular (in foreground) have been a big hit this month - they also made their small screen debut this month in Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I wanted to clarify the paint color that I used in the Living Room (which was incorrectly listed as a Benjamin Moore paint). We received a handful of calls from people who had tried the paint listed and noticed it was quite different than the editorial images. Although I actually use quite a bit of Benjamin Moore paints (for custom furniture as well) and really like their products, I used Ralph Lauren Plateau for this job.
We regularly provide furniture for film and television sets, but every time is just as exciting for me to see one of my little babies make the big screen. Our Gatsby Chandelier graced Tom Cruise's living room in Mission Impossible II, our Tulip Table served as a restaurant center table in Spiderman II, and our St. Denis Chair made recurring appearances as Brook Shields office chair in Nip/Tuck.
Our entire staff has been anxiously awaiting for Curb's new season to start because it's one of our favorite shows and we've been looking forward to see where our custom items eventually ended up on Larry's set. I'm still waiting to get a better look at Larry David's living room (where I believe most of the items have been placed), but I did manage to spot our Gatsby Swivel Chairs in this trailer.
The Gatsby is one of my favorite lounge chairs in our line because it really takes on different personalities with every fabric selection.
As a furniture designer and ASID Industry Partner, I have the pleasure of working with many visionary and talented interior designers and set designers who may specify our line of home furnishings for their projects. November's issue of House Beautiful features a wonderful project by designer Markham Roberts for his client's Long Island residence.
For a charming bay window sitting area, Markham specified our off-white Dragon Medallion Foot Stools as end tables. I love the placement of them, and I love what Mark did with the entire project.
Thanks to Catherine in OC for the heads up on the article.
