Actually The Brass Petal is dead. Died. Cablooyee. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Here's the deal: it is super hard to explain, pronounce and spell. The whole 'i like brass and flowers' is kinda a weird reason to name your blog The Brass Petal.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">SO please go to my new blog:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.stylebyemilyhenderson.com/">www.stylebyemilyhenderson.com</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">why yes, it is slightly pretentious, but it rolls of the tongue and needs no explaining when i'm meeting new people or in interviews, and it has my name in it, which is never a bad thing.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Again, i'm not saying that i have all the style advice ever, or that its my way or the freeway, </div><div style="text-align: center;">but its my style. take it or leave it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">(but please take it, c'mon).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">You will have to resubscribe to the RSS feed and any other subscribing stuff. And I have a new twitter:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">@em_henderson</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And you probably missed the last 7 posts, so get up to date my friends.</div><div style="text-align: center;">xoxoxo</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I've been getting the shakes and taking my withdrawl rage out on Bearcat. I'll snap at the smallest lack of purr or start weeping randomly. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Poor thing doesn't understand what is ailing her mother. I want to explain it to her, but there is a huge cat/human language barrier that no matter how hard we try, we can't seem to get over. </div><div style="text-align: center;">but that's another story.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So <a href="http://www.girl-domestic.com/">Corbett </a>and I went to South Bay on Saturday to check out Big Daddy Antiques, which was great in a way, but also every thing was the same expensive John Derian vibe. I thought it was going to be a big junk store, but nope, kinda fancy pants.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So not wanting to waste a perfectly good day of shopping we headed to an antique mall even further south that wasn't awesome, but not terrible. And determined to have something to blog about and to not have wasted 5 hours and a half a tank of gas i did find a few things after like 3 hours. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So my midnight post is dedicated to trying to find new houses to cast for the show. If your grandparents need a restyling, if your brother-in-law needs a restyling, or anyone really that lives in LA that owns there own place needs a restyling by yours truly, please follow the directions below. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<br />
<b>*****UPDATE:</b><br />
<b>Email casting@triconfilms.com</b><br />
<br />
Here are the conditions: You have to live in L.A. (if the house/people are so great I think we can travel to Orange County or within 30 miles of LA, but really ideally we are in LA)<br />
You have to own your space. I know. I'm a renter too and it would totally bum me out, but this is how it is will all these shows. <br />
<br />
If you live in a duplex and are best friends with your landlord then you might be able to swing it, but apartment buildings with a bunch of other tenants create a lot of problems)<br />
<br />
We will only be doing 1 room, not a whole house. <br />
<br />
At this time we are not doing any bathrooms or kitchens, if that changes i'll let you know. It's not a reno show, its a style show and those are to costly and timely for production.<br />
<br />
You will be on TV. <br />
And your schedule has to be flexible as we shoot 6 days a week<br />
(you won't be on all 6, but will need to be available when necessary).<br />
<br />
The bigger the personality, the better.<br />
<br />
Oh and the room should be 15x20 or else amazing. We need big rooms.<br />
<br />
In your email, include pictures of you/your family/your space and info on what your styles are and what you see for the space. And don't be conservative with your personality, bring it.<br />
<br />
Everyone that left a comment, just go ahead and email them to casting. I'll try to get back to people, but I probably shoulda just waited 'til I had the proper email to post....but instead I had some sake and was really excited to tell all my virtual friends...<br />
<br />
And remember - I want to do anyone. woah...<br />
<br />
You might think that your cousin that lives in LA has completely different style than me, but that's what we want. As much I love doing all vintage-flea-markety-hipster, I want to do some traditional styles (shopping from flea markets, too, don't worry) or crazy minimal styles, anything that will make the show interesting week after week. <br />
<br />
I can do any style tastefully - because every style can be beautiful when shopped correctly and when mixed properly.<br />
<br />
Bring it.<br />
and email<br />

So pretty if i do say so myself. The bride is one of my best friends, Nicole. I helped her with the vision of her wedding because well.....i'm a bit controlling when it comes with anything flower or fashion oriented (and she's a big Nike exec with not too much time). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The goal for the whole wedding was 'effortlessly beautiful' - no matching bridesmaid dresses or tight perfectly arranged flowers, but of course this doesn't happen exactly 'effortlessly.' </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">NOPE.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Chelsea from <a href="http://elseachelsea.typepad.com/">Frolic</a> executed the flower vision perfectly, she went beyond my expectations and styled them even better than i was hoping.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's exactly what i pictured.

A New Magazines in the Hizouse. (with pictures of hizouses)<div style="text-align: center;">Ok so in case you are dead or otherwise, well, "working all day" and "not checking the blogs constantly", a new on-line shelter magazine launched yesterday. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ruemag.com/"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Rue Mag</span></b></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's awesome. Oh and look....huh, that's weird...what a coincidence...<i>.I</i> have a story in it....styled and <b>written</b> by me. I rarely read the articles in magazines myself, i'm a much better "picture reader" in general, but check it out if you are up to "words" and "sentences". <br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I use very few big words, i promise. Unless you consider 'wallpaper' a big word.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In the story you get to see me hang out with some of my best friends: Brian (he's the best of all my friends), our LA best friends Ian, <a href="http://www.girl-domestic.com/">Corbett</a>, Leigh, and their best friends from Texas Anne and Andre, and our other great longtime friend Enver and his lovely lady Christine. There were like 30 people in our teeny apartment with photo equipment, lights, food, fashion, makeup/hair everywhere. Kinda a nightmare production-wise but nobody cared because it was super fun. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Don't worry, still slightly cuckoo, just mixing in a little awesomeness here and there. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For the special I kept putting off wardrobe shopping because I was so busy shopping for the house, and then i was out of time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">so this time, i'm a-thinkin' about wardrobe in advance.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now a lot of you who know me know that I can get <i>very</i> equestrian <i>very</i> fast. Maybe its because one of the few movies we were allowed to watch growing up was 'Man From Snowy River'. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Are you with me ladies? You know you are.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpvy8P260P1HYXou4loereWM5OLJVdRfPnBhPcpmNmNg5FV9gYJjA8OtWEyPy9hg-4_vxK7cXQZOvGY00CFCLE5mEXXs_ZSyJ6F5u0QyYY98zLJfRaEt44YBmSl91hCJjcPFbkX47ICLv8/s1600/man+from+snowy+river.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="260" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpvy8P260P1HYXou4loereWM5OLJVdRfPnBhPcpmNmNg5FV9gYJjA8OtWEyPy9hg-4_vxK7cXQZOvGY00CFCLE5mEXXs_ZSyJ6F5u0QyYY98zLJfRaEt44YBmSl91hCJjcPFbkX47ICLv8/s400/man+from+snowy+river.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Not sure how that chick was the leading lady....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I can get behind all the leather, tweed, canvas, princess sleeve jackets, denim and brass accents any day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So here is what i'm thinking: my new dream outfit for work:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><a href="http://www.emersonmade.com/collections/em-clothing-line/products/1960s-jacket-the-tweed">Jacket: Emersonmade</a>, amazing. Just perfect. $238 and worth every penny. Many of you might say, 'But Emily, you already have a jacket just like that. You wore it all throughout Design Star'. and I say to you, 'Correctamundo, my friend.' But i lost it the last day of the shoot much to my, and America's sorrow. One less princess sleeved, perfectly fitted vintage tweed jacket in the world.<br />

These kinds of crimes can't go unpunished.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ok, i will wear the jacket with these <a href="http://www.jamesjeans.us/new-arrivals/twiggy-china-doll.html">James Jeans</a> (twiggy cut, they have stretch but not jeggings and are super dark and therefore rather flattering) $114 (i have three pairs of these, different colors)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was going to call it 'just because I wear blue doesn't mean I am blue' tuesdays, but Brian nixed it and said it was too long, and then i said 'ah, i think its funny', and he said that it actually wasn't. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Whatever.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Welcome to I Heart Blue Tuesdays. Where i will feature my most beloved color 'blue'.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cindydiprima.com/">Cindy</a> and I shot the <a href="http://www.garnethill.com/">Garnet Hill</a> Catalogue probably 5 years ago here at Peter Franks house (via House Beautiful) up the Hudson Valley. It was the first time that I saw (or fell head over oxfords for) blue grasscloth. I remember thinking it is just so warm, but quiet - a texture without pattern. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Peter is a stylist and his house is beautiful in every way, but this room in particular looks so 'weekend' and comfortable but still high end. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">You guys probably have seen this, but I hadn't for some reason. (via <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/">apartment therapy</a>).</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was surprised to find out that it was a home, i thought it was a catalogue for whomever makes those crochet thingy's (is it their home, does anyone know?)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But the colors are what does it for me. And to all of you who think that wood panelling is out, i say to you, 'nay, NAY 'tis in'. Granted i'm the 70's girl, but i love some painted white or stripped and washed wood panelling any day. a la this one:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

You know it. $20 and about 10x14"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ethereal, moody yet totally in my color palette and with a ton of age and character.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I shall frame promptly.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

They are old brass English measurers for whey or hops for english beers. They are hand-welded and totally imperfect. I love that they have a modern silhouette, and act as a grouping of sculptures, but are old and could be functional as well. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They will go either in my shelving or just on a console as a grouping. If i feel crazy i might just put branches in the tallest one. who knows. i'm totally unpredictable when it comes to foliage. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">looky at the little stamped measuring details on all of them. these were $90 for the six. I know. it was a splurge but I love them very much. They catch the light so perfectly and make a huge statement without being gaudy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love an extendable lamp, $30. From the 70's. In brass. Lord how I am obsessed with the 70's. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Perhaps its because I was made in the 70's. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Does that make me vintage?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Wait, does anyone know the guy at the L.A. flea markets that was a hoarder and now is trying to get better so he is selling everything, but before he sells each item he takes a picture of you with it? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">he's awesome. And then he hoards the picture. I'm not kidding, which actually makes a lot more sense. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I find it so strange, but incredibly sweet at the same time. I imagine him just flipping through the pictures on a Saturday night, reminiscing on each glass bottle or silver pencil cup, hoping that it has a good home now and fantasizing that they will meet again. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I thought he wanted a picture of me because of DS and SFAS, but nope, he had no idea who i was (as it should be), just wanted one last memento of his lamp.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Let me know if you guys are into Flea Market Find Mondays.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I always like to know what people are buying so i can either scoff at them or envy them, but if you guys don't have the same neurosis, then i won't subject you to mine. </div>Emily Hendersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05580694037544558855noreply@blogger.com61tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402825992882722374.post-86915471699241577842010-09-09T17:35:00.000-07:002010-09-09T17:47:31.247-07:00I need a blogging intern. Yes i do.I don't know how to do a blog 'button' so I'm just going to dedicate my thursday evening post to this:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigu_xEW_AJ1DTIruuskaE2ab1rL6UkwXU7CLFQxbERvowjysnu5IMz1OgGaYg0bD-5A-Bh9F6RgWgBGbQI-ty0iA9x7bBhdCrq47f2iR8uflB9uGQy8pW2u6jK2iiuVv2fzxHSqccu8m9/s1600/Rue_button.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjigu_xEW_AJ1DTIruuskaE2ab1rL6UkwXU7CLFQxbERvowjysnu5IMz1OgGaYg0bD-5A-Bh9F6RgWgBGbQI-ty0iA9x7bBhdCrq47f2iR8uflB9uGQy8pW2u6jK2iiuVv2fzxHSqccu8m9/s320/Rue_button.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's the new online magazine that is dropping next week. I have an entertaining story in it, and so does my friend's (Jen Gotch) company, Ban-do.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Support people, support. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Pretty pictures don't pay for themselves, people have to read magazines for them to stay in business and for photographers and stylists to keep working. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ok, my lecture is officially over.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>I'M ON THE SEARCH FOR A BLOGGING INTERN!</b></span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">No, i'm not shouting, just excited. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Someone who knows what they are doing in blogging world. They probably can post videos, get sponsers, social network media stuff and help me blog when i start to get crazy busy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Unfortunately I need someone with experience and references, in both blogging, computers, photoshop, etc. and they need to love home style. So PLEASE only apply if you have those things - otherwise i would hire my husband....or Bearcat, i need someone with skills that i don't necessarily have, but with the style obsession that i do have - and i know you guys are out there. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am redoing my blog and web-site right now, thanks to Squarespace, but I know that soon i won't be able to dedicate as much time to it and I want someone who can be my right hand man. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Someone who has been in the blogging world for a while, knows how to research online, post everything, upside down if need be and has a personality. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Obviously this could lead to other opportunities.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">LA based is necessary, sorry. If I don't find anyone here, then yes, I will post this again, i promise.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But it would be crazy for me not to <i>try</i> to find someone who i can meet and work with face to face.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It will start as an internship, 10 hours a week, with credit, of course and mad linkage to your blog. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And hopefully it will be a crazy success for both of us and lead to more things.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I set up an email just for this, and will check it often for a while, but it isn't my main email (i'm working on getting one just for the blog as we speak) So if you email this address in 2 weeks, don't get mad if I don't get back to you because i may not check it too often.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">thebrasspetal@yahoo.com</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As you can probably tell, personality is important and resumes bore me. I'm not saying to not send a resume, but you know what i'm saying - let me know about you. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> And most importantly don't forget to link to your blog. and if you don't have a blog, then 'blogging assistant' probably isn't the best fit for me right now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I can't wait!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm back. and I realized that I forgot to post/blog about Ian's master bedroom redo. The below picture makes me want to build a time machine (as we all know i'm great at building electrical inventions) and go back 6 weeks to style this bed better. I'm not there when the pics are taken, I OK them, and then leave the house to do other around town shots, and then stuff happens. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbuKEvuoEqCkqIAu_ggQ94qbHsaG8PoWOGiOnHzukpkYsaheISJuxl6mKWA24fk43MDMCS7LxImYNrZT6qLOr96jgc2C35dQUi3t7AyJ9Q5smEsiENybphEiiEXtmARojBvJl1k_SW1GyG/s1600/bedroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbuKEvuoEqCkqIAu_ggQ94qbHsaG8PoWOGiOnHzukpkYsaheISJuxl6mKWA24fk43MDMCS7LxImYNrZT6qLOr96jgc2C35dQUi3t7AyJ9Q5smEsiENybphEiiEXtmARojBvJl1k_SW1GyG/s640/bedroom.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">So I love Ian's bedroom regardless of the messy bed. I really wanted it to feel masculine but not too hotel room and I feel like mens bedrooms can go in that direction really easily. And the more you decorate a man's bedroom, the less straight he looks. But at the same time I still need to 'design' the room. So here's what I did. I painted the walls 'Sandy Hook Gray (BM) which is beautiful, and toom down the window treatments. Ian didn't want any at all, and I agreed. That room doesn't get very much light and is surrounded by trees, so he doesn't have privacy issues.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">After replacing the carpet - OOH i haven't talked about that yet. So replacing the carpet wasn't in the budget, but i insisted on it because the bland beige looked dirty and just didn't work with any of the colors we had going on. I looked at a bunch of options that we could possibly afford and get in only a few days and most of them were either too suburban for Ian or too cheap looking. So we went with this medium toned gray commercial grade. Calm down. Yes, its kinda weird to put commercial grade carpet in a home, but YES it totally worked and looked great. (oh, for the record we got estimates for replacing the carpet with wood flooring, but because of the sloping of the hill and how irregular the rooms were it would have taken 10,000 and 3 weeks to do, so not an option unfortunately). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The carpet was simple and clean and while it was warmer than wood, it still feels modern. And the whole house (including 3 bedrooms, 2 staircases, 2 hallways and the TV room) was $800 - installation was $1200. To get the other carpet that I wanted or to get sea grass flooring - wait is that what its called?- it would have cost 3-4000 just for the carpet, plus installation and i'm not sure that it would have looked as good. This carpet, because it has such a low pile is still cool to throw rugs over. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVX0kDTs6Q2qfeKmD-0fFS7gg5GSaPLIfX4xMzXOEfQ8_mLI5IHw-hvruP7rEHFlwBsBe-GT4HZIrRF3m4c94LQ3vzu6Dt8-0jvVQSGp4dGKULbLPGfheY0RcX2ehcylXnFeHDE7CQWRzf/s1600/bedroom+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVX0kDTs6Q2qfeKmD-0fFS7gg5GSaPLIfX4xMzXOEfQ8_mLI5IHw-hvruP7rEHFlwBsBe-GT4HZIrRF3m4c94LQ3vzu6Dt8-0jvVQSGp4dGKULbLPGfheY0RcX2ehcylXnFeHDE7CQWRzf/s640/bedroom+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">The bench I bought at a thrift store and had it reupholstered, by the same guy who did the headboard. I handed the guy navy linen with a picture of the west elm headboard:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhReTJSTa7C_Jsi9x_OQ9wwuk-SL-PHfSDRswyjM1_Zb5ZgxB7GNW4nydsREbRuMEuMxTs6a7FVsMS5hwvtCwROg3h8t9v_nyLNnDShUIT8UvoJgwABqpLskbT-d5JJhCTkydy9YNwsYPW/s1600/west+elm+headboard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhReTJSTa7C_Jsi9x_OQ9wwuk-SL-PHfSDRswyjM1_Zb5ZgxB7GNW4nydsREbRuMEuMxTs6a7FVsMS5hwvtCwROg3h8t9v_nyLNnDShUIT8UvoJgwABqpLskbT-d5JJhCTkydy9YNwsYPW/s320/west+elm+headboard.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I like it what I got, but there was supposed to be box piping around the front of the sides and more tufting, same with the bench. Kinda annoying, but nothing you can do about it except learn from it and realize that no matter how much someone says they understand, put EVERYTHING in writing. The headboard only cost $350 for a queen (west elm was $510 with shipping, and no navy fabric). The bench cost $100 to reupholster and refinish - although he was supposed to strip the legs and just treat them without staining so it would be a light natural wood and instead he stained them dark which i don't hate, but i don't like. This is a case of 'you get what you pay for'. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Diamond foam and fabric (where i got the wingback and 60's chair reupholstered) does amazing work but they aren't cheap. This guy has a little shop in Echo Park and came highly recommended and is crazy cheap, but we took a risk, for sure. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGkTCDrPEZ6SR_aRUh1DNGeaZvdq54EUcUf0m0g7hmYZXNEVNPq5i1pS-I7U3UNiUw9Vr8KTWUJNTgBICND235mM2vm27ed6tdxvFB5eV-sCEll_4ltWsjP64v3x8U5xITEO7nDNIFjt7d/s1600/dresser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGkTCDrPEZ6SR_aRUh1DNGeaZvdq54EUcUf0m0g7hmYZXNEVNPq5i1pS-I7U3UNiUw9Vr8KTWUJNTgBICND235mM2vm27ed6tdxvFB5eV-sCEll_4ltWsjP64v3x8U5xITEO7nDNIFjt7d/s640/dresser.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The dresser came from Pepe's in Echo Park, it was $350 and its in perfect shape, but from the 60's. The lamps were Ian's lamps already, but in that terrible green color, and for the show we wanted to use as much of the owners stuff as possible, so I decided that the shape wasn't bad - and the shades were great, so we spray painted them. Same with that mirror. It came from a thrift store and was brown and ugly metal. Don't worry, i won't be one of those 'spray paint everything' designers/hosts. But some things just need it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The Sconces: yes I put goose neck lamps on the wall. because i be kerazy. they look awesome and totally work. For those at home - these lamps have holes at the top, but not the bottom and while they work on the wall ok with just the top being adhered to the wall, eventually with use, they move to much. So you need to drill a hole (with a metal bit) through the bottom, too.

Its strong durable, textural, cheap and gets softer and softer with age and washings. There are some linens that cost $30-$40 a yard, they are mainly imported from France and Belgian. But the American or Asian linens are great and sometimes cost around $7-$12 a yard. Wash them twice before you use them, so they get super soft and textural. And the throw pillow that is on the bed is a fabric sample from Diamond that I purchased, then put linen backing on it to make a pillow. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've added an awesome turkish rug in here, and put some art on the wall above the asian chest on the left. It just needed a couple more elements. I'll take pics. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Summer takes a toll on the body, especially a summer with a lot of celebration and a lot of stress-eating/drinking. My summers are always debaucherous and being the virgo that I am i always <i>insist </i>on going super hard and hitting bottom before the requisite Fall productivity mode. (I do this around the holidays, too....its strangely self-destructive and super effective at the same time) <br />

So my birthday was last week (same as Rachel Zoe's i was not surprised but extremely happy to find out) and I had my best friends wedding over the weekend - which was effing amazing in every way, will post pics as soon as i get them. So, I did such a good job hitting bottom, folks. I mean, i'm terrific at hitting bottom.<br />
<br />
And its time to move this pale little bottom into gear.<br />
<br />
..... starting tomorrow maybe. I have hours of RHONJ, RHODC, Flipping out, Rachel Zoe, Sarah's house, Real Genevieve, Project Runway and Top Chef to catch up on. Shut up. I used to feel guilty about the amount of reality tv i watched considering my husband is an actor (whose job is perpetually endangered due to reality tv), but now that i'm in the unscripted Hollywood world (thanks to a reality show), i feel its my duty to give hours of my week to the best of the unscripted. For it is thee whom i love the most. <br />
<br />
Regular post tomorrow. After a 3 mile run where i will not stop whenever i want to (every other block). I promise.Emily Hendersonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05580694037544558855noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402825992882722374.post-54671137770105843442010-09-03T11:46:00.000-07:002010-09-03T11:46:49.572-07:00Check what i'll be wearing, fools.No time to blog.

Rainy in August? YEP. Which is actually fine, I don't like hot weather clothes - I love my little short dresses, but only with tights as I am happily very fair, but unhappily constantly bruised because i'm clumsy and have very questionable spatial awareness with my body. Wearing tights in 90 degrees seems weird, but not here, when its 65. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">wow that was inane. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">In case any of you are left reading, I'm up in Portland for the week. I'm kinda art directing my best friends wedding this weekend and my friend Chelsea (from <a href="http://elseachelsea.typepad.com/">Frolic</a> fame) is styling and executing the tabletops. and she is awesome. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The bride wants (aka I want) hot pink, random, effortless, imperfect, weedy arrangements on the table. Very loose and organic. I don't do tight. And Chelsea is totally on board. Here is the inspiration picture. I love that some just have greenery, and i get the feeling that down the table every arrangement is different. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF_lRe77XXJcBv1Zo5uVN4GB_st3TbgsjwQHNUGAlHqQaNaHO6sxFbjzQExNmPtbVqQd9u_d2797fLqCnb8KvwrOcovaqAkKri_FAwQxiAjEY2yHkaabF_u1h4pJYzKbyRHYeNAr2arhZ-/s1600/flower+inspiration.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF_lRe77XXJcBv1Zo5uVN4GB_st3TbgsjwQHNUGAlHqQaNaHO6sxFbjzQExNmPtbVqQd9u_d2797fLqCnb8KvwrOcovaqAkKri_FAwQxiAjEY2yHkaabF_u1h4pJYzKbyRHYeNAr2arhZ-/s640/flower+inspiration.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I know. its ridiculous. We are using different flowers than these because we aren't millionaires, and peonies in Oregon are like $35 a stem off season. But Chelsea has ordered garden roses in corals and hot pinks (garden roses are in general super petal-y and can often look like peonies, way more organic and sculptural than the ubiquitous rose) and a bunch of awesome weedy greens, dahlias, blackberries. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">its gonna be sick.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">love this one too, prob not for the wedding because we are using all vintage different mason jars (which we are renting for 50 cents a piece from a 'collector' - craigslist fellas), but it's such a beautiful shot.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYBTw2G9zRyr9h4zXj9f523Fy11_7792W50gezM0U0NSlgo6n8qYEDWAF0Z-S4IKws3TGSUkG-nLfEel_L-cstkg3YA9HQZHwj7YB3x2m9YzLhe07VdddgeGtG9uaR68S_z6CuaY50WSzN/s1600/Picture+7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="484" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYBTw2G9zRyr9h4zXj9f523Fy11_7792W50gezM0U0NSlgo6n8qYEDWAF0Z-S4IKws3TGSUkG-nLfEel_L-cstkg3YA9HQZHwj7YB3x2m9YzLhe07VdddgeGtG9uaR68S_z6CuaY50WSzN/s640/Picture+7.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Amazing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We did put very simple blinds in the den so he could shut them to watch tv if he needs them, but you can hardly see them (they roll up to be about an inch at the top of the frame and are white so you don't really notice them.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnJ9FJIBHkcNaZxn9CwVgDAnyMJ4pyuQBg4zQ-EPSzzvGJCuPciI8QBxjwK3NsicY6nPkCagegbsgNZ9shS7UAbjnscgUAgecqTfO228gW4xwSTpbU89uh8Z9_XR2mVvgnyG23Wte2LuMr/s1600/ians+house+before.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnJ9FJIBHkcNaZxn9CwVgDAnyMJ4pyuQBg4zQ-EPSzzvGJCuPciI8QBxjwK3NsicY6nPkCagegbsgNZ9shS7UAbjnscgUAgecqTfO228gW4xwSTpbU89uh8Z9_XR2mVvgnyG23Wte2LuMr/s200/ians+house+before.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg31p0SVbDHNlQICblC3i2RT3Pa-LyQZ49m9GjM23blKFa4_psqrBgjfSZhsEoI_lyHhUS2oc1oaZDs66tneDoiS3diUtZipd4uMqfwrHJBo1L7LOMCLVXd1DjNw3M7OKQmAwOk-ui9dZEA/s1600/ians+house+after.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg31p0SVbDHNlQICblC3i2RT3Pa-LyQZ49m9GjM23blKFa4_psqrBgjfSZhsEoI_lyHhUS2oc1oaZDs66tneDoiS3diUtZipd4uMqfwrHJBo1L7LOMCLVXd1DjNw3M7OKQmAwOk-ui9dZEA/s200/ians+house+after.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">OH! here's also why: we all know that drapery hardware can be tricky (read: ugly) - its often over-designed, when i just want it to disappear. I love it best when its almost at the ceiling, but in the case of the living room you can't have it at the ceiling because it is vaulted. So then the hardware adds so much busyness and distracts the eye from the bookshelves, that feature window and the views. Also, the windows open in, so they fight with the drapery. We could have done some sort of wood or bamboo rolling deal thing, but it just didn't seem necessary - he doesn't have privacy issues and would have added a lot of cost. So no. no drapery here. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did talk about this on the show, but some of the things have to get edited out, so this must have been one of them. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ok, so lets go through some other pics. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sorry, this is kinda a blurry pic. This is the tablescape from the 2nd look, and I think i like it the best. I'm not normally a 'set your table 24 hours a day' kinda girl - i think it can be fussy and strangely creepy (like, did you almost have dinner and they you killed everyone?), but it did photograph really nicely. I'm a 'big-vessel-with-branches-and-maybe-a-few-candles-or-candlesticks-tablescape' kinda girl </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I bought 6 mismatchy farm chairs (ranging from $5 to $50) for around the table. and i lurve them. They bring so much character and history into the room, and were super cheap. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">OH and bells of ireland flowers - so easy to style (they pretty much just style themselves), simple, cheap, beautiful, last a long time and a great pop-o-green.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here what it the final tablescape looked like (below). And I like it, but Ian really didn't like the indigo runner (in fact he said it made him want to kill himself, now, now, Ian, dramatic much?) - i actually preferred it without the runner, but it needed color for TV. And i wish the lanterns were closer together. It's such a learning curve figuring out what looks good on camera versus in person. And again, i know i have a leg up due to prop styling, but video is different - the light is different and the angles are different and you have less control because you are busy doing shopping segments and interviews, you really have to trust the people you work with. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioSeaiVpaixiMbrDAgX2Tj_3LnU_wMRKsBWV82WfQjDerp0zc-6X1-nOVncrQwcnx_-lpwo4cbWaMQXgIV7u9VWgoYtELAC2Ia5v5rnOU5vAynOoFzhgxRHHqBQnUJ8g9qqGPkY3XqFZd-/s1600/third+look+dining.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioSeaiVpaixiMbrDAgX2Tj_3LnU_wMRKsBWV82WfQjDerp0zc-6X1-nOVncrQwcnx_-lpwo4cbWaMQXgIV7u9VWgoYtELAC2Ia5v5rnOU5vAynOoFzhgxRHHqBQnUJ8g9qqGPkY3XqFZd-/s640/third+look+dining.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But I LOVE the toile. And so does Ian. It's Thibault (I know, i know kinda old school decorator-y in a good way, right?) Here's the<a href="http://www.thibautdesign.com/Collection/patternDetailFab.aspx?pid=308&prdId=2143"> link</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And to the guest bedroom:</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here it was before as a tv room, which would be fine left as a tv room, but due to the fact that we plan on watching hours and hours of tv there in big groups, this no worky for our needs. The 'office' was unused and so much bigger and more inviting. So it only made sense that this be turned into a temporary use room.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZHIhtz0Q9u8aaIwJsU_FeMNnqf64Mn_wGC4WDny38OutOBPQs0gyeUOJkkZil9cE3REYB_k5XwHJ-rcV-lLjA__If3J4-amilvEqrMtdbzgtsUHVn_glKu2SKtk9nPDcVcvyUu4Lni8C1/s1600/harry+potter+room.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZHIhtz0Q9u8aaIwJsU_FeMNnqf64Mn_wGC4WDny38OutOBPQs0gyeUOJkkZil9cE3REYB_k5XwHJ-rcV-lLjA__If3J4-amilvEqrMtdbzgtsUHVn_glKu2SKtk9nPDcVcvyUu4Lni8C1/s640/harry+potter+room.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">And after:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7WrUcKlL_LpRR4_lJrzjch6yQWkTWPBDb6pAoArh86z9TA0Xc0V0LKHQPRg-yrE7H2RIx1IEf_4uNh5AuFH8V0sYu0Nzq_aeTaX3oWuSujsMJ6URCNB8m6YnqMsdXoF00ZI1ymPTSDc6Y/s1600/harry+potter+room+after+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7WrUcKlL_LpRR4_lJrzjch6yQWkTWPBDb6pAoArh86z9TA0Xc0V0LKHQPRg-yrE7H2RIx1IEf_4uNh5AuFH8V0sYu0Nzq_aeTaX3oWuSujsMJ6URCNB8m6YnqMsdXoF00ZI1ymPTSDc6Y/s640/harry+potter+room+after+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I actually really love this little room. Brian and I stay over there a lot and its like a little happy nook (of nooky). It's super cozy and has a beautiful view, although ***WAY too bright in the mornings, so i have little blinds coming (ones you can barely see). Ian doesn't want them, he loves the view, but its hard to sleep in past 7. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTqlCp-Y9f7dXDatfzR-riUOpPibEsgiDXt_xoNODfx1YT6Ef0V6qixxR4rMGXjkz8zy17uU7KrYAW2W32ZxFLzZEYvGkkI1Ecl-b0s7ijZodXXHN1ZeI7NgZo0UqcMIgfyyBvG6Ol_oUm/s1600/harry+potter+room+after.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTqlCp-Y9f7dXDatfzR-riUOpPibEsgiDXt_xoNODfx1YT6Ef0V6qixxR4rMGXjkz8zy17uU7KrYAW2W32ZxFLzZEYvGkkI1Ecl-b0s7ijZodXXHN1ZeI7NgZo0UqcMIgfyyBvG6Ol_oUm/s640/harry+potter+room+after.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">OK Sources: The duvet is West Elm, the wallpaper is Katie Ridder 'Leaves' in grey (I bought it from Harbinger in LA, to the public). It was kinda expensive I think $250 for that wall, but its really beautiful and interesting - a masculine color in a feminine pattern. The pillows were just sourced fabric from Michael Levines ( a toile to keep that theme going, and a silk grey and white stripe), and we sewed them to save some money.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh and I do wish I had been there when they took this pic - the bed is messy in a bad way. It's so hard</div><div style="text-align: center;">giving up responsibility, i never thought I was a control freak, but turns out I might have to be. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh9drbIuScOBol9XKUKzTGk1-231qlyfWYbrdfHSOxXOspy8PM6KDaMUecLHytFCLhZxn987D5Pg_xSeM7bC7JCcqUOhloS9O6T9XCOFR927aNBGtPtf9UTjjHC05LzzsR_dt5e76wOkVJ/s1600/harry+potter+room+after+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh9drbIuScOBol9XKUKzTGk1-231qlyfWYbrdfHSOxXOspy8PM6KDaMUecLHytFCLhZxn987D5Pg_xSeM7bC7JCcqUOhloS9O6T9XCOFR927aNBGtPtf9UTjjHC05LzzsR_dt5e76wOkVJ/s640/harry+potter+room+after+3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The trunk was a thrift store find for $100 (its big and old and sturdy as hell). Everything else was flea market (chandy was $20, lamp was $15, mirror $30, little bud vase from CB2 and buttterflies/wall ephermera was random flea market/thrift store 1 and 2 dollar stuff). The bed is an ikea platform base and their cheapest mattress which i DO NOT recommend - way too hard, i'm buying a pillow top to help out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The paint on the wall is Gray Owl (BM) and was beautiful. It's slightly warmer than the one in the living room and mimicked the color of the leaves. I painted the ceiling gray as well, which i feel like keeps your eye moving instead of stopping at 8 feet high. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Finally i got rid of the terrible sconce and moved the j box (well, I didn't, come now) to the ceiling. I decided not to put the little shades on the chandy bulbs (because a. they are hard to find pretty ones, and b. they add about $100 to the cost of the chandy, and c. they are slightly suburban). So instead i bought little round globe bulbs which are awesome, but need to be dimmed (which we did). I think it makes this antique chandelier look more modern. I found a matching black iron sconce (flea market, $5) that goes on the other side of the room (not-pictured), and did the same bulb-no-shade treatment to it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think with guest rooms you can go a bit quirkier. People are only in them temporarily and every time i walk into this room i get happy, it's a fun little surprise. It still feels like the rest of the house, but just a bit more feminine and quirkier. I could have oriented the bed to come out of the wallpaper wall, but it would have made this room teeny tiny, whereas there is still a chair/seating area in the other corner and room for guests to walk. There is a lot of Emily in this room, fo shizzle.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Alright folks. unfortunately i have to run because The RHONJ reunion just came on and its getting ugly really fast. and I have my unfortunate priorities.

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">Here was my inspiration board that i was working with: Things changed a bit, as you can see, but the general look feels the same. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih0n5Z9xAHzNVO0dxkHTTXBvXJ74KOapbU8jBT-p3-S6yOm8ANjzsnwlHFuDwOokoBS6BbI61Nuqhh-R96TXnPxjWZnJEek8PHuYRsC3w_65CyrAwn-PH433t8GBHswUwqESXkXq034adJ/s1600/ians+living+room.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih0n5Z9xAHzNVO0dxkHTTXBvXJ74KOapbU8jBT-p3-S6yOm8ANjzsnwlHFuDwOokoBS6BbI61Nuqhh-R96TXnPxjWZnJEek8PHuYRsC3w_65CyrAwn-PH433t8GBHswUwqESXkXq034adJ/s640/ians+living+room.jpg" width="499" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ok let's go around the room. The coffee table, sofa, pouf and lamp were all new. Coffee table ($1300) , sofa ($900) from HD buttercup and standing lamp (anthro $398). The pouf was $200 from Mosaik in LA. Everything else is vintage and came from either TINI, Hernandez brothers, 45 three modern and the flea market. So yes, the coffee table and table lamp were splurges, but i saved on everything else - i mean some of the side tables were $20 and the pillows were just 1/2 yardage that I bought for 10 bucks. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> I think that coffee table (while i couldn't afford it) was worth the splurge because it completely grounds the room, makes it look high end next to all the thrift store pieces and is heavy, but since its metallic it doesn't weigh down the room. And it has storage. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh and In case you don't know my feeling on legs, you should try to have at least one piece of furniture that doesn't have four legs, whether its a really low sofa, or a skirted sofa or chair or in this case a coffee table, it helps the whole space look more grounded and substantial. I forget who said it, somebody from house beautiful, but a designer said that a room with too many legs looks 'nervous' and I totally agree. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The paint color is BM Smoke embers, and i LOVE it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">The artwork is controversial, i know. I think its awesome, while some people think its creepy. Here's the thing with artwork on TV shows: it is super super hard to get things cleared, meaning that the original artist or their family (if they are deceased) has to sign off on it to the network - and its normally super hard to track down who the original artist is - especially flea market art. (this is not the case in magazines, i don't know why). I'm not an artist, so i can't make my own art (although i do have a few ideas of weird collage-y things that I can do). </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">Luckily Ian loves vintage maps, because those are cleared. And he loves antlers, which worked perfect with the FDR look. oh and to the critics who say that antlers are 'out', i disagree. Sure, they were ubiquitous a couple years ago, but things that are beautiful are never 'out', we just don't need anymore cardboard antlers or maybe high gloss pink antlers. Its like how coral was so huge 5 years ago.

My first day on the job. AHHHHH!!!!!<div style="text-align: center;">So picture this: you are a college football coach and you've dreamed about being a sports commentator for years - you just <i>knew</i> you could do it, but no, you actually had no formal training. But one day, you win a position on NBC, during the playoffs!!! AMAZING!! You are terribly excited, grateful and nervous as hell. You show up first day of your dream job, and you are reminded that yes, <i>your first day</i> of your new job will indeed be on <i>national television</i>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Holy eff balls.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Secrets from a Stylist debuts tonight. I'm super excited (i saw it this week) but I'm feeling pretty exposed and vulnerable, too. Here is how i keep it in perspective: </div><div style="text-align: center;">ahem.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Winning Design Star and getting my own TV show is an incredible new job, a job that was 10 steps ahead of what I was doing before, an unbelievable promotion in every way, but just a job. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The amazing parts of my new job are the creative freedom, daily excitement, immense responsibility (yes, i like responsibility, it keeps me out of trouble), and public effect. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The drawback of my job is that my first day on the job - untrained - is on national TV. </div><div style="text-align: center;">i mean, i know that's kinda the point of a TV show, <i>being on the TV</i>. But still, <i>I'm</i> on TV.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yep. With potentially a million people watching. (hopefully, but honestly i have no clue how many people watch TV shows, or even how many people 'a million' are).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I try to not think about all my friends, family, co-workers, fellow designers, bloggers, readers, admirers and yes, haters watching and judging. (hopefully instead they are laughing and smiling and not wanting it to be over.) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I'm really proud of my first day on the job. And the potential of doing it everyday is insanely exciting. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Do I have criticisms of myself? um, no doy. I always will. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But every time I think about the world watching me, a mini panic attack begins. </div><div style="text-align: center;">and that's when I remind myself: </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">it's just a great new job, its just a great new job.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> - one that I'll get better at everyday - because that's what happens on new jobs. You start out not knowing quite what you are doing - people help you along and give you tips, but there is a lot of learning and troubleshooting. It takes a while to find your rhythm, figure out what things you are good at, and what things you need more help with. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I want feedback, obviously. But pretend i'm a five year old who just finished her first piano recital in front of 100 people. Sure, you saw some things I could do better next time, but maybe wait a while - after the shows been for sure picked up and my nerves have calmed down to tell me about them. For now, let me know what you like about the show, what you definitely want to see more of, or don't want cut out. I definitely want constructive criticism, too, just not yet. please.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">oh and I'm not sure if HGTV reads these comments, so if you feel like it, comment on my <a href="http://www.hgtv.com/secrets-from-a-stylist/show/index.html">web-page</a> on HGTV. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Remember during the show when everybody was promoting their fan vote, and I wasn't? Well, obviously you know why now. But I'm calling in that favor - if you get a chance, and feel like it let HGTV know what you think about Secrets From a Stylist. Viewer feedback is super important to them. Click <a href="http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2010/08/27/secrets-from-a-stylist-premiere/">here</a>, to comment to HGTV. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">OOH, also I'm starting to do blog posts for them (which I'm stoked about). And my second one (my first being my 12 most memorable moments from DS, click <a href="http://blog.hgtv.com/design-star/2010/08/22/emilys-most-memorable-moments/">here to read</a>) will be up after the show - or maybe tomorrow I'm not sure, and you'll be able to comment on that, too. It is 10 tips to help shopping at flea markets and thrift stores.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So watch SFAS tonight at 10pm on HGTV. please please please. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you love it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And remember, It's just a great new job that I love very much. </div><div style="text-align: center;">And like that football coach turned commentator,</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll do the best I can, and get better at it every day. </div><div style="text-align: center;">And someday when I'm a total pro (which will happen, just watch) I won't give a sh*t about haters. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I've done a ton of blog and radio interviews this week to promote for the premiere of Secrets From a Stylist. I figured i'd start posting some of them here today.<br />

Alright folks, I can't show you pics from Ian's house (although you can see a bit of it above), but I<i> can</i> show you the inspiration pics for his house. These have been on my mood board (or notebook that i carry around shopping) for Ian's house since I started working on it. I love how they feel finished, yet not decorated. Despite co-creating Glee, Ian is a straight dude, so I didn't want it to feel overly designed. Just natural and lived in. <br />

In the show I combine three different styles. Very distinct, from different decades or countries. <br />

<br />
But I keep them coherent with the color palette. Which looks pretty amazing in person, and I hope looks as good on camera. I'm learning so much about how things are different on camera. Being a prop stylist for photography helped me because I already know the rules like: shiny things are annoying to photographers (they prefer matte), small busy patterns screw with the camera and 'amore', and mirrors are always a problem. But now I have a whole new set of lessons to learn. Everything from the fact that I HAVE to wear more fitted clothes (my blousey blouses are making me look about 4 months along) to my lipstick should pop more, to TV interiors need a lot of color and even then, the color can look much different in person than on camera. <br />
<br />
When shooting interiors for magazines or books, photographers can use natural light with the perfect lens and you don't need color (like above) to make a provocative, beautiful picture. But for TV, they have to put these films on the window so they don't blow out and get really hot (tv speak for blaringly bright) so natural light isn't really an option. <br />
<br />
Of course I'm slowly trying to revolutionize this process, because set photography is normally so so so so much less beautiful than this kind of editorial (magazine) photography and being the total photo snob, it makes a HUGE difference to me. BUT, i will say that our set photographer (the guy that takes behind the scenes as well as all the beauty shots) has an editorial background so I have higher hopes.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here is a sneak peak of the mag (not my shoot). <a href="http://www.shelterpop.com/2010/08/19/rue-magazine/">http://www.shelterpop.com/2010/08/19/rue-magazine/ </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhURmJnkc6qGPTmhTv9MzTyykZT2BDHxOlyD7AEfCH2dKjle14NGTrQ0bM-pOuDe5w8sWIKSXyTCQbwQq1S1Nedd7oXL8v3Cjrbgz8QZK6MkW-8jyYoYd5oziE2I5eoN0ESWeo3tiz3CYGJ/s1600/rue+mag+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhURmJnkc6qGPTmhTv9MzTyykZT2BDHxOlyD7AEfCH2dKjle14NGTrQ0bM-pOuDe5w8sWIKSXyTCQbwQq1S1Nedd7oXL8v3Cjrbgz8QZK6MkW-8jyYoYd5oziE2I5eoN0ESWeo3tiz3CYGJ/s400/rue+mag+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">photo by Manny Rodriguez</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I know. Magazines are like the 80's. They were almost gone, off the shelves, and then WHAM, they are back, except different, a little reworked. Well, magazines are awesome and the 80's were questionable, but i'm not the best analogy-er.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeju5Bh_yePfZ2OpgPHhd5aBXH3CEwh6dLn4TonsFs6r6D5rpThMkq6E0OVYsQ2oMZqBjBDXzDPBb88i5f6eE5z49SEroA4Axu_VLj2fwiAEH1u7Zmj8XhgMEoGy4kFnl0S6bcY3IeCHTb/s1600/rue+mag+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeju5Bh_yePfZ2OpgPHhd5aBXH3CEwh6dLn4TonsFs6r6D5rpThMkq6E0OVYsQ2oMZqBjBDXzDPBb88i5f6eE5z49SEroA4Axu_VLj2fwiAEH1u7Zmj8XhgMEoGy4kFnl0S6bcY3IeCHTb/s400/rue+mag+3.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">photo by Manny Rodriquez</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hello new media, you are awesome. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On to other topics. Oh right, i saw my TV show yesterday for the first time. 'I-saw-my-tv-show-yesterday' seems like a very weird thing to say. I filmed it in July, then the film production company (which I LOVED) has been doing their magic so I its been kinda outta my hands and i've had no idea what it actually looked like (or what I actually looked like). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> So I was excited to watch as you can imagine. I'm not giving anything away. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And I am DYING to know what you guys think. That's all I'm gonna say.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Except this: Ahem. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Dear readers, please tweet, facebook, and blog as much as you want about 'Secrets from a Stylist' which premiers this sunday on HGTV at 10pm. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's up against the Emmy's and Mad Men, and I think True Blood, too. harsh. Ian (and Glee), are up for 19 Emmy's so when you are tuning away from SFAS, you best be rooting for my friend. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">yo yo yo. i'm back. Woah, that was a rough couple days. Besides interviews, i kinda just checked out of life. I've never been so exhausted in my life, strike that, since my honeymoon. It's weird how your body knows when you were stressed even when you don't feel stressed. I had the most low-maintenance wedding ever (we literally had a taco truck cater it) but still i must have been exhausted because i slept roughly 16 hours a day on our honeymoon. And that is pretty much what I did this week, too. I feel better and ready to roll. ish. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">I'm working on the new blog (or should I say, somebody else is, to be disclosed soon***update, don't worry it will remain the same, run by yours truly, i just want it redesigned and updated, all fancy-like), web-site, interviews, you know, general 'taking-over-the-world-and-building-my-empire' stuff. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">Kidding, well kinda. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">The outpouring of support has been overwhelming and so appreciated. I'm just so happy to know that people (not all, mind you) wanted me to win and are excited for my show. I promise it will be unlike any show out there, ever. (aka, the fashion to home thing has been altered to create a more original show....curious, eh?). </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';">Secrets from a Stylist airs this sunday at the same time slot as Design Star - 10pm/7pm. Just a reminder, which i'll probably do everyday until sunday. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande';"><br />

Nuts, i know. I'm crazy excited and so exhausted. I took the day off yesterday to relax, i was pretty wrecked from sunday night. We had a ton of people out to celebrate with us. I'll post some pics as soon as i get them. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My saratonin has plummeted, such a big build up and adrenaline rush - almost like a wedding. I'm probably going to take today off again and go to the beach and relax. because that's what tv stars do. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh, and my 'client' (and friend) for the special is the co-creator of Glee, Ian Brennan, so if you like Glee you best be spreading the word about that. He's hilarious and awesome. And single, for all the ladies out there. Just sayin'. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So a lot is going to change here. The blog is going to transform a bit (it will still be a daily style blog), but we are still working out the details. </div><div style="text-align: center;">But for now, thank you guys sooooooooo much for all the support. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. You feel vulnerable when you are on national TV, and some people you can never win over. So having this kind of fan base that has supported me long before Design Star means a lot. </div><div style="text-align: center;">xoxoxoxoxoxoxo</div><div style="text-align: center;">E </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
