holiday season kicks off in los angeles with some great events

the holiday season kicks off this week with some great book signings and gatherings:

first up, i was invited by my good buddy, andrew joseph PR, to attend a book signing for the wiseman group's new book, inner spaces at the beautiful therien showroom on la cienega this wednesday, december 3rd:

next day, on thursday 4th, mecox on la cienega in the LCDQLA is having a gathering to celebrate vignettes created by my friend, christos prevezanos, amongst others- always a good time at mecox!

black crow studios at westedge design fair.

last night was the opening of the westedge design fair at barker hanger, and i hope you are planning on stopping by if you live in the los angeles area- lots of great design will be on view!  i am particularly excited because for the first time all five colorways of my "memphis" wallpaper for black crow studios will be on view. the ecru colorway looks completely different than the black and white everyone is used to seeing- who says neutrals have to be boring?

 tracy will also be introducing her new line of pillows with her signature gorgeous prints (yay! memphis again!), and well, her new flower mural wallcovering has to be seen to be believed!

friend to the atelier, jaime derringer of designmilk, also has a curated exhibit, #superPACdesign, of some pretty hip designers, including this wolfrum teepee, so there is something for everyone!

welcome back, california home + design magazine! (and thank you!)

i couldn't be more excited by the return of california home + design magazine! and to have one of my shapes collection rugs (for 27 ground available exclusively thru woven accents) featured in the debut issue, well that's just icing on the cake.

a print magazine launching in today's environment is a rare and fragile thing, so i urge you, to run to the newsstands and BUY THIS MAGAZINE!  support print! it is truly the magazine that "gets" my POV and that POV of my peers. if you live outside of CA, find your city's newsstand with teh most international magazines and CHD will be there. oh, and look for the gorgeous cover of my buddy molly luetkemeyer's coldwater canyon project (shot by jon coolidge). simply amazing. molly has always been super supportive of my career, so i couldn't be more pleased to see her prodigious talent get some print coverstory love. i've always said, if i wasn't an interior designer myself, i'd hire molly to do my house... but i am, so hire me- she's waaaaaay too busy for you. tee hee. ;-)

welcome back CH+D and long live print!

hello, i'm maison21, and i'd like you to follow me on instagram! #followme #design #itsfun

 hello loyal readers! (those three who have weathered thru the last 7 years of this crazy social media journey with me!)

i know you haven't been seeing much of me around here, and that's because i'm super busy, but i do love to stay in contact, so while the blog may be a twice a month activity, i am an instagram FIEND, and post 4-5 times a day on my feed... so you can follow along at @maison21 on IG, or if you aren't quite ready to commit to IG, or to commit to following yet another interior designer, check out my tumblr blog- all my instagrams post there automatically.  my IG/tumblr feed is a smorgasbord of design, pets, flowers, sunsets and sometimes life's little absurdities- always visual and i thnk, always fun. you be the decider.

either way- 2x a month or 4x a day, we'll see you on the internets!
