Baking for the future King and Queen of England... WOW

How exciting for Fiona Cairns to be making the wedding cake for William and Kate!  I am obsessed with all of the details for the big day.  I have mentioned before about my love for cooking and entertaining so I thought I'd highlight one of the best parts of a wedding.  THE CAKE!!!

Be sure to visit Fiona Cairns and here's the link for all the details for the big day:  http://www.officialroyalwedding2011.org

So current...Billy Baldwin

I love that we're still learning from Billy Baldwin.  Architectural Digest said it best.


For Baldwin, who was partial to plump deep-seated sofas and chairs, the ultimate luxury was comfort. “First and foremost, furniture must be comfortable,” he decreed. “That is the original purpose of it, after all.” 


I couldn't agree more because our goal is to produce ultra luxurious and exceedingly beautiful furniture while keeping in mind what Billy said "it must be comfortable!"  I am so inspired by the images below and believe these homes could be in any recent issue of any home decor publication such as House Beautiful, AD or maybe Elle Decor.

 

His personal home

La Florentina, Italy circa 1967

 

These rooms are so timeless.  I would be drawn to this design today.

 

 

A cozy spot for dining outdoors

Los Angeles is lucky to have gorgeous weather most of the year.  We loved designing this porch area so our clients could enjoy their beautiful yard, placed right outside the home's dining room it is the perfect place for a party.
