I call it Functional Sculpture…because it is!

The entries for the HP Ultrabook Bag contest wrap up this evening and I just posted my second design! Did I mention that another favorite Project Runway designer is the spokesperson and judge for this contest? MONDO GUERRA! His aesthetic just really speaks to me!

My second bag design is called Functional Sculpture. Everything that looks cool has a purpose. Hoping and praying my two submission make the judges top 40 and then its up to the public to select the TOP 5!

But they don’t seem to mind – it is one of their personal favorites. Continue reading →

The Antonio Treatment…Fashionable Redesign…

I DVR’d (is that a word?) Antonio Ballatore’s new HGTV show (that aired on Sunday, August 29, 2010) and just got a chance to watch it.  Antonio put his spin on a trendy retail space named Pull My Daisy in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles.

All I can say is “WOW!” Continue reading →

Visual Energy…

I really love that term…visual energy. I wish that I could say that I came up with it myself…but I actually heard David Bromstad (the first HGTV Design Star and host of HGTV’s Color Splash:Miami) use it when describing what the added touches he was proposing would do for the room.
