When we decided to make the move from Houston TX to Berlin Germany a big deciding factor for me was to travel and show AJ the world. We have a long running list of places to visit still, but we started with celebrating AJ’s 2nd birthday in Venice. He’s not old enough to expect a proper party, he’s young enough to keep strapped in his stroller, these were are reasons. I would have made any reason really, I wanted to see Venice.
Read MoreWynn Encore Vignettes
I was in Vegas for the latter part of last week taking part in the Bold Summit (Business of Luxury Design). It was great. It was exhausting. What is it about Vegas that is so exhausting? I slept for days afterwards and believe me there were no "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" moments for me. I witnessed those moments for others, but I was there to work.
Of course staying at the Wynn Encore is itself sensory overload for a designer. It was beautiful and tastefully tacky all at once. The hall to the conference rooms is excruciatingly long. I wore flats and brought my cute shoes, the walk is killer. Along the way are gorgeous vignettes though. Beautiful studies in accessorizing. So many perfectly symmetrical and others perfectly asymmetrical. Just really tastefully done vignettes. Here are my shots from my phone of a few of them.
Isn't the attention to detail stunning? The scale of each of these is really very large, it's hard to see that in these shots. I have a lot of respect for Roger Thomas and his team to pull off such tasteful interiors on a grand scale.

Get Your Art On: Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth
I got a long weekend in Fort Worth this past weekend due to my husband speaking at an Android conference. I got to meet with a client, eat great food and visit my favorite museum. The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth was designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The building gives me goose bumps, it feels alive. I love the art of course, but the building. The. Building. The building is a modern piece of art itself. The concrete walls. The amazing windows and the shadows the mullions create is beyond. Goose bumps. I always get emotional in this space. I didn't get a shot of the famous windows, I was running out of time and my phone died midway through the museum. Sidenote, all of these shots are from my phone, I apologize for the quality.
This is the one shot I didn't take. Isn't it a stunner?
