Well, Spring has certainly sprung already here in San Diego and it’s got us running around cleaning, organizing, donating piles of clothes and dreaming of ripping out flooring and tiling the counter and backsplash. But alas, we are renting just like millions of others, stuck with the decision (even if the owner lets you renovate): …

This thing is downright ingenious actually.  I found it over at Fab.com which is aptly named.  Made in Germany, QLOCKTWO takes LED to a whole new level.  It’s so sleek and stylish, black and white, subtle but stark, and incorporates words where numbers once were.  Oh and did I mention it actually comes in stainless …

Happy Wednesday everyone!  To celebrate our descent toward Friday, I wanted to share with you a featured guest blogger with their take on one of my favorite pieces of furniture- the ubiquitous yet distinctive Chesterfield sofa. Thanks to Kenny at Arcadian Lighting for contributing to my blog! Arcadian Lighting is the best source for home …

I love a good glass of wine every once in a while, and being from California I have fond memories of wine tasting while taking in the gorgeous vineyard views.  Joel and I just fell in love with one of the ports we tasted at one of the lovely wineries in Temecula, Leonesse.  Drinking wine …

DelysiaManifesto? As I come up with the images and words to narrow it down, I will be developing my ongoing design manifesto in installments. I love all sorts of design ideas and can appreciate that a lot of different people will like the different spaces I share, but in these “My Style” posts I will …
