All Done!

We have a new...beautiful...kitchen! It doesn't even feel like the same room. Myles of Style did an amazing job! After 2 weeks have having strangers in our house and dust on everything we own, we have a beautiful kitchen to show for it! And those strangers became people, and the dust became a story to tell.
Jim and I really enjoyed our times with the cast and crew of the show. They have a great bunch of people.
We will know the date of the show soon and we will be sure to let everyone know. I'm interested to see how they portray us...it could be anything!!
And just for a tease factor...a Barcelona chair, black granite counter tops, and a chandelier. Yes! It's that good!

It's a secret.

Yesterday was the first day of shooting for Myles of Style. I have been told I can't post pictures or tell much info...so I'm sort of stuck in terms of what I can post. Sorry!
All I can say is that yesterday was really fun. I love Kim's pitch for the kitchen. I was hoping we were going to knock out a wall...but I think it's going to be perfect just the way Kim envisions. The crew is super nice. Kim is a doll. I think this is going to be one of the most fun experiences Jim and I will have.
Thanks HGTV!

Cemetary Screenings

Living in a big city sometimes feels like we miss out on 'small town' activities. There really isn't very many events that make you feel like a community.
However, last year we were introduced to Cemetery Screenings at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. It's one of my favorite things here in LA. For $10 a person, you can bring food and alcohol into the cemetery and watch a movie...with around 1500 other people. It's one of the coolest experiences. You walk through the cemetery onto this large grassy field. You camp out, eat dinner, drink some wine, and when the sun goes down the movie comes on. It's projected on a large building and the next thing you know you are at a drive in with all the luxuries of home. It's really cool.

High Class Flyin'

Jim's dad is a private pilot. He flies out of Burbank for a real estate uber-wealthy man. A few weeks ago he called Jim and asked if we wanted to take a quick flight to Long Beach. We jumped on the opportunity! Who else can say they have flown in a G550...Oh yeah....the Rich.
We had a great time seeing how it feels to fly First Class....in a private jet.

Art. For Art Sake.

I am involved with Festival of Arts - an incredible art show down in Laguna Beach which features over 150 local arts. Amazing Artists.
One of those artists is Regina Jacobson. Her attitude towards art and her craft is inspiring. "I love painting figures captured in the momentary quality of arrested actions, or with an expression that allows us to glimpse the attitude of the heart." Wow.
Here is just a glipse into what Regina is able to capture using live models.

So True.

In this month's In Style Josh Groban's house was featured. He owns a beautiful Hollywood home that has tons of character. Imagine that....a celebrity's home that actually has life.
One of the pictures features Josh in front of a killer metal piece of art that captures the emotions of all that live in LA. The check mark moves so you can reflect your attitude. Mine changes daily. :)
