Guiliana and Bill: Living it up, West Coast Style.

Have you seen Guiliana and Bill Rancic’s new LA digs?  Definitely drool worthy!
If you have been reading this blog for any amount of time, you know that neutral is not my thing… But I am seriously digging this place and designer Lonni Paul’s use of a neutral palette.
Dying.
I love the grasscloth wallpaper and the tongue and groove detailing on the ceiling.
Still digging the neutral.
And just look at little Duke’s nursery.
I could live here.
A monogrammed crib, of course.
 Loooving this covered veranda.  One day, soon, I will have one.
Unfortunately, a pool is not in my future.  Booo.

Shelter Envy: Brooke Shields.

I have always loved Brooke Shields.  I think she is so beautiful.  Did you know that at 14 she was the youngest Vogue covergirl?  I am still bummed that Lipstick Jungle got canceled…. Seriously, it was a great show!  She also wrote one of my favorite children’s books that I read to my girls every night for what seems like two years, Welcome to Your World, Baby.
Anywho, when I was browsing the magazine section at the grocery store, I came across a a stunning room on the cover of Architectural Digest (I always kick myself for not subscribing as the money I have wasted on buying single issues could pay for my kids’ college education… Note to self– subscribe today.)  As a self-professed Brooke lover, I am sure that you can imagine my excitement to see her posing next to the oh-so-perfect mantle.  Just look at these drool-worthy shots of her Upper East Side townhouse!
