We are all so excited about Pantones color for 2011 - It is so cheerful that we have now done our entire entrance around it...

Then we added Michael Cutlip's amazing paintings and WOW!

Honeysuckle, when combined with aqua and yellow creates a buzz of energy and we defy anyone who adds this combination to their home to be grumpy - ever!

In Marin we are known for our plethora of talented musicians, of which there certainly are many, BUT we also have an incredible number of talented artists as well. One of our very favorite ways to spend a day off is to jump in the car, (top down), and cruise around to all the different Open Studios..... right about now from Sausalito to Pt. Reyes artists are opening their doors to visiting guests and enthusiasts. One of our new haunts is the Donna Seagar Gallery featuring artists like Carl Dern, Kay Bradner, Brigitte Reynolds...

As designers we feel strongly about the role art plays in a space.

It can completely change the mood of the room and the people who use it!
