PRECIOUS STONES

When it comes to the holidays and the mercury dips below the freezing mark, an interior infused with sumptuous jewel tones just screams Christmas! Emerald, amethyst, topaz, sapphire, tourmaline, turquoise and ruby- all so decadent and warm! Jewel tones are rich color tones with a high level of color saturation making them very dynamic and highly distinctive.

Bring on the bling, but be careful…a little goes a long way!

GOING TO THE DOGS

I come from a long line of dog lovers, possibly, I mean possibly, we verge on being a bit OCD. Growing up with dogs, they were part of the family, an integral part of the household. As a designer, the care and comfort of my client's dogs is of paramount importance. We have designed many a custom bed, dog door, dog house, dog bowl and dog blankets for our canine-loving clientele. We anguish over the rug choices for Connor and Sophie. Is George's tooth going to snag the draperies, if so should the fabric really be $125 a yard? No matter what is there anything better than cozying up on your sofa with your dogs at your feet on a cold winter's day in front of the fire?

"Dogs are not your whole life, but they make our lives whole."

SANTA BABY

Who doesn't love Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby"? Every single year when the time comes to trim the tree, we put on Christmas classics to set the mood and break out the bubbly! My daughter and I have long had a favorite amongst all the time - honored classic tunes - and this is it! We always get the giggles listening to Eartha purr those lyrics in her fabulous raspy voice!

So Santa...hurry down the chimney tonight!


Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight



Santa baby, a '64 convertible too, light blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight





Think of all the fun I've missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list
Boo doo bee doo





Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot
I've been an angel all year
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight









Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight





Santa baby, I'm filling my stocking with a duplex, and checks
Sign your 'X' on the line
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight









Come and trim my Christmas tree
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me
Boo doo bee doo



Santa baby, forget to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean a phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight



Hurry down the chimney tonight
Hurry down the chimney tonight
