OMG, it's Wednesday?

I have entirely lost track of time, mainly because it's been wall-to-wall crazy busy for me with work on projects that run the gamut from breakfast cereal to romance novels. Seriously. So I thought I'd share one of the recent styling projects I worked on with HomeSense, a shoot for a home office (I am jonesing for that metal cabinet) and a dorm room (L.O.V.E. that kooky lamp). HomeSense popped some of the behind the scenes shots on Facebook, so click here if you'd like to take a look at how the magic happens, and then head over here to their online Design Your Digs contest to design your very own office or dorm space for the chance to win a $1,000 shopping spree! Oh, and a major shout out to the team I worked with on the shoot - Mamone & Partners, photographer Nina Teixeira, stylist Malcolm Patterson and of course the whole HomeSense crew.

Up and at 'em

Well, what do ya know, my crazy/funny/talented friend Samantha Pynn's website is finally up and running! And it's not just all pretty pictures either (though they're stunning, btw, all shot by Virginia Macdonald), nope, she and her team - Julia Black and Malcolm Patterson - are also launching her Design Binders service that'll help you get your own place all sorted out and decorated, room by room. She calls it a paint-by-numbers approach to decorating and, if you ask me, I think it's a brill idea! Take a look below at one of the binders, as well a snap of one of her recent projects, and then click here to watch the design_lab webisode I shot with Sam.
