Grey Stone Mansion/Jonathan Fong

Worked on this project with the amazing Jonathan Fong. Jonathan created this room if god had a guest room what would it look like.

Turqoise another great color. Don't get overlemed or be afraid to use this color. I used this color in my Upward Bound room. It created an environment of tranquility.

Amethyst

Amethyst is the color of spirtuality and transformation. This new color for 2010 is a trend for fashion and your home.

Aria/Lennar Homes-West Elm

Worked on a small project with Lennar Homes/Aria in Ventura, CA. The colors I used were nuteral and texture. I used a puch of red to bring in some warmth.

UpWard Bound Housing.

I had the opportunity working on an amazing project called Upward Bound Housing in Culver City. This project had 18 top designers in Los Angeles adopt a room. Each room helped to support 4 families a year that are in need. Everything was pro-bono and donated. T.C. Carlson and I came up with the idea to bring in a beach inspiration. The blue represented water which brings in tranquility. We add some organic texture with punches of orange to bring out some warmth. I had the best time working on this room and it was rewarding. It makes you think what a human being can do that will impact others. I wanted to thank everyone that made this happen.

thanks Amanda!

Does your new rug shed a lot?

Does your new rug shed? The secret is to vacuum several times to slow the processes. Will it stop, no but slows the fur balls hanging in the corners. Keep your receipt and ask what is the store return policy. Most company will exchange/return due to quality issue.

How do I clean my rugs? Tip 1: Use distilled water first. You could blotted with a white cloth or spray bottle. Tip 2: If the stain is deep use a carpet stain removal that would be delicate. Spot test it first to make sure there is no discoloration. Tip 3: It may be time for a new rug.
