We love to stroll around the Art District and DTLA over the weekends just to explore the emerging things on art and design.
One of the fun things to do is to walk along the long long exhibition hall filled with nature light.
They did a very good job to to have some faux fur on these white wicker chairs and sofas. It’s so warm and inviting.There are some greenery and pretty awesome lighting fixtures, too.Here is the close-up of the sofa.Here is the close-up of the chair.Here is the close-up of the chair.

We have a tradition for every New Year’s Day. Yes, we will go to beach to enjoy some sunshine , to be close to the ocean to feel its abundance and greatness. Ocean has a magic power that always calm us and show us there are actually tremendous opportunities and hopes out there in the world. And the most important thing ocean teaches us is to be kind, generous and tolenrant from those who are different from you.
Toast to 2020!It’s a beautiful day!The view on the patio is stunning.I really enjoy this warm beach day.Yes, we are in famous Japanese Nobu restaurant in Malibu.
Malibu is a city west of Los Angeles, California. It’s known for its celebrity homes and beaches, including wide and sandy Zuma Beach. To the east is Malibu Lagoon State Beach, known as Surfrider Beach for its waves. Nearby is the Spanish Revival–style Adamson House decorated with historical California hand-made tiles. Malibu is such a lovely beach town in SoCal with pretty relaxing vibes. Our trip this time is to visit Nobu, relax at its breath-taking beach-view porch, take a walk on the pier and just stroll around the town.

Nobu, Malibu is Iron Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s Japanese delicacies, plus California fare, in a modern, beachfront space. “Originally opening in the Malibu Country Mart in 1999 as the fourth Nobu location in the United States, Nobu Malibu moved to it’s current location in 2012. The views of the ocean from nearly every seat in the restaurant, as well as Malibu-specific specialty dishes in addition to all of the Nobu classics, make this a destination dining experience not to be missed.” We have been too Nobu restaurant and hotel in Las Vegas. I will say Nobu Malibu has more relaxing beach get-away vibes while the Las Vegas one gears more toward high-caliber clubbing experiences. Each restaurant has their specialities. But one dish we like from both locations is Black Cod Miso. You’ve got to order it if you have a chance to visit.
Inside of crowded Nobu Restaurant, Malibu on the New Year’s Day of 2020
Known for its five-star cuisine and decadent Japanese-inspired interiors, you’re likely to spot a Kardashian at this California go-to. The LA-based sushi bar is such a celebrity staple, it’s even name-dropped in three Drake songs and a Kanye track. That said, the opening of their luxury hotel Nobu Ryokan Malibu is bound to attract a star-studded guest list. We didn’t get a chance to visit the hotel this time since it is guests-only(maybe next time). But I found an article from Elle Decor talking about this newly opened 5-star hotel.
Overlooking Carbon Beach along the Pacific Coast Highway, the lodge draws from the area’s laidback California style while boasting Nobu’s signature Japanese design.The building’s original structure was a 1950’s beach motel, which architects Studio PCH and Montalba Architects have dramatically transformed. Each guest room has its own unique interior design, all incorporating teak, bronze, and limestone to maintain a calming neutral color palette throughout.

One of the high-lights from PDC Fall Market 2019 is Timothy Corrigan’s new fabric collection with Schumacher. I was able to take some photos from the launching party.
Here is the moldboard for the collectionLove this commingle of leopard and wide velvet stripes. So fresh and chic!Alternate of high and low pile-

I am totally obsessed with this new Timothy’s collection with Schumacher–they are modern, classical yet playful and will add a touch of haute cotour to any space. I cannot wait to use them for our next projects.
Hope you are just like me and are desperate for some colors for Monday to drive away the “Blues”. If that is the case, I just came across a fashion-forward colorful London town house and would love to share with you all here today. So, enjoy!
I am always fascinated by artworks installed in kitchens. This oversized navy-blue artwork for sure let me want to spend more time in this kitchen. Hot orange and warm cream create cheerful and inviting decor.
Sunny yellow is going to be huge for this coming fall and winter time. The reason? We have had grey tones for so many years. Time for so,methibg fresh and different.
It’s almost the end of August. I feel I just cannot wait to see all of the new color palettes in fall. Here are 3 colors that I start to see them everywhere and they may dominate the this coming fall season.
Chili Pepper Red— a little bit red on accessories like purses, boots, socks, …etc pairing with warm neutrals is fresh, exciting yet classic and ladylike.
Shop the color:
2.Cinnemon:
Cinnamon is a warm, medium shade of brown.
Cinnamon is darker than shades like tan and beige but lighter than chocolate or true brown. Its warm undertones mean the hue can sometimes look red or orange-tinged. Cinnamon color looks fashionable, youthful and sophisticated when pared with checkered patterns and animal prints.
Shop the color:
3.Vanilla Custard
If you’re looking for subtler colors to try this season, then sumptuous cream and beige tones are your perfect choice. The expensive-looking neutral shades are gorgeous when layered in different fabrics.
You may already see Turmeric color from runway, cars, objects, etc… The color is kind of catch your eye now—fresh, fashionable, youthful and exciting.
Turmeric is an enlivening orange that infuses a hint of pungency into the palette (Color descriptions by The Pantone Color Institute).
I guess we may have stayed millennium pink and pastels too long and truly need something different or something to break through to. The more I look at this color, the more I fall in love with.
Le’s take a look from fashion inspiration first:

All right, let’s tour some interior spaces featured with turmeric color.
Industrial style is still going pretty strong in Los Angeles–concrete, gray-white-black color palette, organic forms and casual vibes, …etc. A lot of objects and furnishings are mainly from local artists. So, they are very detail-oriented. This weekend, we were invited by a loft showroom opening. Please take a tour with me.
Here is where the party started. Love this all-concrete vibe and how they did the lighting design.The wall decors (mirror and lights) are very zen-like and set the tone for the whole space.
Great idea for dividing walls.High-ceiling spacious living room is filled with artwork, plants, unique lighting fixtures and beautiful crowds.Please pay attention the back of this mid-century sofa–it’s kind of cool.creative artwork
Here comes the kitchen–very industrial and kind of layback style. but check out what they got for their appliances.High end appliances–this one is True brand.

Good morning! How’s your Sunday going so far? I woke up earlier and watered my garden first. I feel it is such a bless for me to enjoy my garden in the morning. I love to observe how morning sun light shines through the greeneries with a little cute dew drops. It is such a romantic moment for me. What’s your Sunday mood? what color are you in mood for today?
We visited an art installation yesterday and it is about colorful rolling-hill landscape in Ireland. I’ve never been to Ireland and I guess people there must be very happy. You know that is true since we all have a good time on St. Patric’s Day. so here is my sunday color block mood-board. Enjoy!

DTLA has being gone through the major transformation within last several years. Every time, we are here, we always can see something new and feel something new. So it is pretty exciting experience to explore new DTLA for food, cafe, architectures, boutique hotels, museums, etc. And often the landscape of the mix -and- max of the new with historical buildings make the city so charming.
We were recently invited to a preview party of new property in China Town which is really close to city hall. The property is multi-purpose combining with retails and residential. I am pretty amazed by how they use the color, patterns and mid-century furniture they choose.
Here is the pretty cool location. You can see the city hall is right in the middle. Photo by Robert Ke The property has several buildings featured cheerful bright color blocks.
When you enter the 4th floor lobby, you see this kitchen first. First of all, I really like the color palette they chose here–cool high-glossy navy blue on the cabinetry with warm textured brown copper tiles on the wall and floor. The white quarts countertop finishes the whole vignette look with a touch of fresh modern crispness. Second of all, I quite like how they design the shelving box around the fridge—it’s kind of not that serious but pretty stylish and thoughtful vibe. Yes, a good work flow, plenty of countertops and relax vibes often create a dream place to host a big social party.Here is a huge industrial chandelier at one of the entries. One of the cool features for this property is how they mix and match different styles of lighting fixtures which makes ceilings and vertical spaces so interesting. Different layers of lighting design make your eyes always look up and move around and find that unique object.These playful pendants hanging over the large table in the lobby contrasts with the masculine chandelier by the entry we were just talking about above.This is another example how they mix different styles of light fixtures.
A perfect picture frame. Now you know Pantone Live Coral really plays big this year.
And of course, I cannot miss a great selfie opportunity with this colorful and alive urban landscape.
And here is one I stand outside on the roof of the building.These cute pool side chairs carry Brazilian cheerful vibes and you feel they invite you to have a seat on them.These cute pool side chairs carry Brazilian cheerful vibes and you feel they invite you to have a seat on them.And I am really obsessed with this day bed. Can I have a drink here, please ?Hahaha, with my pink flamingo.

We just got some decorative pillows for the client—all shades of blue. I hadn’t been a big fan of color of blue. But I am right now, maybe because we just saw so many blue sea and blue sky during 4th July vocation. Anyway, Those pillows in shades of blue just look so adorable. I think you totally agree with me that color of blue make a calm, chic and elegant spaces. Today we share e 8 ways to use shades of blue:
Just use as pop of color among the large area of background white to create super modern atmosphere:
2. Of course, use on the wall to create different yet cohesive feels from the next room.
3. Use on the panelings and trims only to create historical highlights.
4. Yes, on the cabinets to have that timeless, crisp and chic style:
5. How about layer different shades of blue to create that super upscale and sophisticated feel?
