Entertaining | Connecticut Shore Meets Venice Beach

I was so excited when my dear friend Kadi Lee, Celebrity Hair Colorist and Blogger at Highbrow Hippie reached out to OneNine Design to collaborate on her upcoming 36th birthday. She wanted to bring her memories of Connecticut summers to California with an old school lobster bake. I love a good theme and couldn't wait to get started. I hope you enjoy the evolution of the planning, design, collaboration and celebration.

Custom invites encouraging everyone to embrace the theme
and pull out their, summer whites, seersucker and madras.

To keep things personal and authentic we pulled decor

items from Kadi's home and mixed it

with locally sourced finds.

Each kit included a personalized note from Kadi, napkins, lobster bib, mallet, lobster cracker, lobster fork, dinner menu, lobster bib and instruction on how to crack and eat a lobster.

Bye, Bye World Cup

Like most of the world my last month has been filled with the excitement of the World Cup. This photo taken by Venice local, Steven Lake pretty much sums up how I feel about the conclusion. Thank God this only comes around every four years, because I don't think my liver and pocketbook could take much more. Congrats Germany, we will see you again in four years!

First Impressions

I have always loved front doors. I am not sure if it's the intrigue of what’s inside, the power of a first impression or simply a design element that always seems to catch my eye.

On a recent trip to Tulum, I came across a charming Hotel and Italian Restaurant, Posada Margherita . I fell in love with it’s eclectic design and especially the colorful doors that lined the walkway up to the open air restaurant set on the beach.

What does your front door say about you?
