Meier Ferrer

When I first walked up to the five foot hedged fence of Meier Ferrer in West Hollywood, I was almost too intimidated to walk through the gate. The curved paved walkway, mature trees and lawn give the feel of walking toward someone's residence. Upon entering the space, I quickly zeroed in on a vignette directly opposite the windows. It turns out that the furniture studio also features works of art from emerging artists and their pricing targets new collectors. I want all of the paintings below but with all the construction and furniture quickly depleting my funds, buying them all is not feasible. If I'm lucky, I can bring one of these guys home.

La Cienega Boulevard

The eclectic and beautifully curated shops on La Cienega Blvd. have been a draw to the best designers in the world and design junkies like myself. My decorator had suggested early on that we visit the shops and I am glad we did because we both fell in love with the mirror above from Downtown Outside, the sister store to Downtown 20th. I headed over yesterday to get another photo of it and get the dimensions accompanied by my friend Georgina. I am sorry to say it is too big to hang in my powder room and I am trying to figure out where I might be able to place it in my house. I met one of the very stylish owners of Downtown Outside, David Serrano, and he was kind enough to give my friend Georgina some advice on galleries in W. Hollywood she should look into for a show of her work. Aside from shooting portraits and pictures, Georgina also has a series of roomscapes and trees that are beautiful and haunting at once. All in all, it was a very productive day for the both of us.
