1 A Black Wall and Some Turquoise and Yellow...

My pool house would like to have a black wall, a comfy reading chair, and yellow and turquoise pops of color.

0 A Yellow Door?

Does my hypothetical pool house want to have a yellow door?  I think yes.


Check on the rest of this house here.  It's good.

1 A View from My Bedroom

I slept in this morning, which felt good, and have been hanging out in bed.  Things have been a little slow around here for a while partially because I have been sick for a while (more than two months- ridiculous I know).  After lots of doctors visits and many sluggish days I think I'm getting better. (Nothing serious by the way, we think, just bad allergies that tend to turn into sinus infections/bronchitis too often).  


So, I shot these images with my iphone yesterday and this morning (and posted on Instagram), and I've gotten a lot of questions about where things are from.  I thought I would do a quick credit round up of the things I can remember...

0 Malibu Beach Home

This home in Malibu feels like it could also be at home in the desert. I love...well everything.  The wood, black, and white, contrasting with the open lightness, and the furnishing...perfection.

Gae Aulenti Locus Solus armchair, by Poltronova, 1963, yellow enameled tubular frame with sling seat in original gray and white striped upholstery....um ok!!
