I guess it’s time for me to fess up, although very embarrassing.  Clients have been calling to ask if it’s true, “are you out of commission”?  Yep it’s true, I’m not making any appointments outside of the studio because of a large fall I took while vacationing in Colorado in October.  I am continuing to do business from the studio which involves completing projects that are already in the works and offering help through on-line and phone consultations.

In two weeks I expect, and pray, to be driving again although I’ve been told I will stay have the fashion statement of a full leg brace.   Good times!  I keep telling myself it could be much worse and just to count my blessings.

I’m thinking of of “decorating” my leg brace?  What do you think?  Do you have suggestions?  I was thinking of clear rhinestones.

This 9-acre Rancho Santa Fe estate sold earlier this month at auction for $13 million, one of the highest prices secured for a home this year, according to public records.

The estate, called El Milagro, Spanish for “The Miracle,” was listed in July for $19.995 million.

The property includes a 21,000-square-foot home that has seven bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, three half bathrooms, and a variety of amenities, including a tennis court, pool and putting green.

The owner purchased this home in 2010 for $8.5 million and then invested $7 million of his own money to renovate and improve interior design.  If someone knows who the designer was on this project I would love to give them credit because the pictures of the interior are stunning.

According to U-T San Diego, the owners had planned to make El Milagro their home, but decided instead to live in one of their other properties closer to the coast.

Today I’ve spent most of the day in the studio working on a design presentation for Saturday.   I’m working with the colors black, gray and yellow with a fairly eclectic feeling . . . to me this equals fun!  Here are a few pictures where I’ve found inspiration, what do you think?
