<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">All of the various fashion weeks as of late have been very inspiring, as per usual. In my former life I would watch closely for the styles, the walks, the makeup...whereas nowadays I find myself wanting to turn certain dresses into pillows or dining chairs. Below are a few of the highlights for me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Altuzara used color blocking to perfection. I love the fresh combination of black with fuchsia and orange.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I love the glittery interior of this coat by Alberta Ferretti. The juxtaposition of this with the wool is stunning. This is a perfect example of monochromatic with loads of interest.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Finally how about this shade of green for this coming fall? I know I am biased but Giorgio Armani is always perfection in my mind. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I especially love how many of these designers are pairing fresh colors with black. Also notice the texture pairings that add such interest. Not only is this successful in fashion but it is vital in interiors as well. Silks with wool with linen...the combinations create interest and, ultimately, energy in a room.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">As previously mentioned, my husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day a bit early this year due to travel plans, so I can already vouch for this menu. I planned for a rich pasta dish to pair with a bottle of wine from our last trip to Napa. All served with crusty bread and a light spinach salad, it was very easy. (ps I did <i>not </i>make the pasta myself and instead used a dry rigatoni)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The client requested something that would take a lot of use because she envisions not only using this space as a dining room but as a library. The zinc will patina over time and really will just get more beautiful with wear. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Thinking about Valentine's Day today...a bit early since my husband will be traveling on Friday. So instead I'm going to make dinner on Wednesday and as usual I'll try to be thoughtful about my table setting.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> I have always enjoyed Valentine's day, even back when I was single (I am a sucker for just about any holiday). Why not use it as an excuse for good friends, girl movies, pink nail polish and eating cheese for dinner and chocolate for dessert? </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Hope you enjoy these ideas that you can implement for your partner or your friends.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">My inspiration is a dinner at dusk while watching the sunset...</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This month's winner provided us with a nice size dining room with some already wonderful architectural details. We took their request of using blue to maintain the flow of the first level and kicked up the interest with texture variation plus an unexpected element on the ceiling. The pieces chosen lend themselves to a masculine library feel, however with a light and bright palette, plus curves on the lamps and chairs, a feminine argument exists as well. The result is a sophisticated and refined room ready to take on this busy family of five.</span></span></div>

This will be my first time attending the conference, this year in Atlanta, and I am looking forward to many of the people I have been in contact with just because of this new outlet. I am so thankful for my readers the past four months and for all of the support leading to this nomination. If you find a minute to vote, please do so <a href="http://design-bloggers-conference.com/hall-of-fame-awards/"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #001ba6; text-decoration: underline;">here</span></a> as voting ends February 12. </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I recently had the exciting opportunity to be interviewed by Modern Luxury Texas Interiors. It began as a discussion as to why my business has landed here in Houston and what my plans are for 2014. What it ended with was a discussion regarding tricks to make a home both elegant and kid proof; my area of expertise if I am pressed to say.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Using these fabrics does not necessarily mean that you have to create a piece that is completely custom. In fact, I just ordered a yard of Perennials fabric through Pottery Barn to reupholster my breakfast bench from Target for a total of $75. Their fabrics are incredibly durable (my neighbor even uses 409 to clean hers) and most have the feel of soft linen. I love that Pottery Barn has made a few of the colorways available to everyone.</span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Use art and wall decor. This could easily be listed at number 1 I suppose since any one of us could walk into a gallery and be mesmerized by a piece of art and see nothing else. I approach design from a more functional standpoint but that doesn't mean that art doesn't create a critical and necessary discussion. As a cheaper alternative I have created custom floor to ceiling mirrors (about 5' wide by 8' high) in spaces to add drama as well.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Today I'd like to take you on a mini tour of one of my favorite shops, <a href="http://mecox.com/" target="_blank">Mecox Gardens</a>. This store is known among designers as a place to go for just about anything you need for a client whether it is a luxurious sofa, unique lighting or overstuffed throw pillows to finish a room. Mecox opened its first location in Southhampton and now has a total of eight showrooms across the country; thankfully Chicago and Houston are both on the list as I shop there often. They throw fabulous parties and their doors are open for not just designers, but the end buyer as well.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">These "Large Bone Striped Nesting Tables" are just crazy enough to be so cool. The would be incredibly dynamic in an otherwise pattern-free space.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I really like to utilize unique storage options. This piece by Magni made for easy inspiration. It's rich parchment doors will wear just the right amount over decades of use. I love that you can splurge on a piece like this and end up using it in almost any room in the house.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">In the spirit of the New Year and the reevaluation of inspiration and design I want to take time to write about my favorite furniture designer because it seems so fitting. Paul McCobb was the founder of The Planner Group, the best selling line of furniture in the 1950s. And at least in my work, which leans toward contemporary, I could use almost any single one of his pieces and have it blend seamlessly in the room. As I am designing my collection of pieces that is my first goal - longevity. I was in a dialogue with Domino Magazine recently about "modern" and "timeless" not necessarily being a contradiction. I believe if interiors and furnishings look fresh and stop short of contrived then they have the ability to have a life span that is beyond the customary. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Like most I have a lot of plans for 2014, both personal and for my business. It is always an exciting idea to be able to gain a fresh start. So far, one of my goals of awaking and getting ready for the day before my children get up is already down the drain since I feel completely exhausted from all of the holiday celebrations. Our kids have been angels by making themselves breakfast and letting us sleep until about 8:30 so I am taking full advantage. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So after admitting that I have strike one against me I wanted to take a moment to explain why I have started this site as a side venture and why I see it as an important part of my work (and life) in 2014 and ultimately why I'd like it to be a part of yours as well.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">As you may know, I am an avid cook and I love reading cooking blogs and watching shows. So many experts offer daily advice written from their perspective in the trenches. I will never be a food expert and I fully admit that and love to learn from them. I recently realized that there is a scarcity in this area in the design world. We all love our printed magazines and Houzz, Decorpad and certain bloggers are doing a nice job bringing readers inspiration but there still is a large disconnect between the reader and professional designer. My strong hope is to bridge this gap and here is why:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">-- After a decade in the interior design world I have really enjoyed the interactions with people who say they are either intimidated or don't have the money to hire a professional. I am eager to talk with them (let's face it, how often does one really get to feel like an expert in everyday conversation??) and when I take on projects for people that never expected to love their home...and then do...it is really fun to watch. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">-- I also enjoy educating people about design; I suppose it is my education background still lingering. With my <a href="http://jillianoneillatelier.blogspot.com/p/contest-details.html" target="_blank">monthly contest</a> readers get to see everything that goes in to a room concept from a behind the scenes perspective.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">--Finally, I love my sources and love to share them even more. I love having access to amazing craftsmen who are making truly modern heirlooms like <a href="http://www.troscandesign.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999;">Troscan Design</span></a> and <a href="http://lindseyadelman.com/" target="_blank">Lindsey Adelman</a>. I love watching vintage dealers like <a href="http://wyethome.com/" target="_blank">Wyeth</a> source the pieces I don't have time to search the world for with their trained eye. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">So essentially, while I continue to be lucky to work in beautiful homes across the country on a select basis, I get to accomplish what I love about design on a larger broadband because of this dialogue. And I so far am overwhelmed by your response and faithful readership these past three months so thank you for the encouragement.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Happy 2014!</span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Admittedly I will not do this often so this may be a post for the record books. The reason is simple; I truly believe in the ability of the craftsman. I am lucky to be able to wander through showrooms such as Holly Hunt, Design Atelier and Dennis Miller and see impeccably made pieces of furniture. I know and my clients end up knowing what priceless pieces these are and what they can add to your home. It is why I have been so carefully developing and editing and reworking my own line of furniture. I do concede however that there are times you need to add a piece here or there that isn't heirloom quality - perhaps to try something trendy, or because you know it will end up to be your four year old's favorite spot (or in the direction that your four year old will be throwing a baseball as in the case with our home). So with that in mind.....</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Baskerville; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Sunday brunch is hands down my favorite meal of the weekend. Give me some good coffee, a mimosa, and delicious breakfast food and I'm set for a day of relaxing (in stretchy pants) with the people I love. The problem with brunch, for me, is always "the choice." Salty or sweet? Pastry or eggs? Toast or pancakes?</span></span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">
</span>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Baskerville; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Baskerville; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">With a quiche I don't have to decide. Eggs and cheese in a pie crust? Why yes, I'll take a slice. Or three. A few months ago I stumbled upon <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2012/04/over-the-top-mushroom-quiche/"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px color: #001ba6; text-decoration: underline;">this</span></a> adapted Thomas Keller Mushroom Quiche recipe on the Smitten Kitchen Blog. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Baskerville; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Baskerville; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The dangerously buttery crust alone was WELL worth the tedious hours of prepping and cooking. Deb recommends par baking your crust so I made mine the night before we had guests over for brunch. (If you are going to do this I suggest you invest in some baking beads... I made do with all the change and rice in my house to fill the 3" thick pan and ended up hunched over the sink separating change from rice for the rest of the night... not as easy as it sounds.) </span></span></div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">Below is my first attempt which I would label "moderately successful."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">I say "moderately" because the crust was heavenly but I should have let the quiche set for a bit longer before serving. If you are hoping to serve your guests brunch before noon I suggest getting up early for this one. :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">We have friends visiting from out of town this weekend and I plan on taking on this mountain of a quiche again.. this time with a crazy toddler and a newborn in tow. Let's be honest, we might end up with an eggy mess and be going out for brunch on Sunday.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">This time I'll add the two extra eggs Deb mentions on her blog. Personally I prefer a denser quiche to a custard. I also substituted basil for thyme the first time around (this is a no thyme household) and added fresh crumbled feta and the flavors were amazing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Baskerville;">Serve with a light <a href="http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Arugula-Salad-with-Lemon-Parmesan-Dressing-352111" target="_blank">arugula salad</a> and some fresh fruit and you have a brunch that will wow your holiday guests and satisfy the full gamut of brunch cravings.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This is an exciting post for me because I love my sources so when I have an opportunity to share them with you and potentially bring them more business, I am thrilled. We used some superstar sources for this contest and we are going to let you have access to our personal rolodex. We hope you enjoyed this month's design...next up is a modern home office space (featured in January). And please remember that if you'd like to enter the next contest you have until December 31!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Highlight 1</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The Daybed</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">This gorgeous piece is by Madeline Stuart. We placed it in front of the fireplace because it provides a luxe seating option which would otherwise be hard to pull off in this small room. With its extremely low back, you can place it in front of the fireplace and still take advantage of the great view. The fact that it is more shallow than a normal sofa (32" compared to 40") is key. Using an outdoor fabric makes it extra durable.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Highlight 2</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The Armchairs</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">These chairs available at Jayson Home will work very well comfortably pulled up to our round game/work table, but the most important thing is that they are light enough to rotate to face the daybed. All of a sudden you get a seating group for four perfect for entertaining.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Highlight 3</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The Art</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">With a more traditional space we decided to mix things up a bit by placing some contemporary photography. Since this particualr family has children, we thought that the playful and lively work of James and Karla Murray would be a wonderful addition to the room.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Extra Details</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The antique marble fireplace will be an unexpected juxtaposition against the modern mahogany paneling. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The small bench with sconces above will make for a great reading corner for the clients youngest daughter. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The ceiling fixture by Urban Electric is refined and classic but the finish is really a wow factor. </span><br />
