design i love

My job affords me the chance to travel the world. In almost every instance, it's a complete blessing and adventure. The other instances, well, they include uncomfortable airline moments, toilets that are in the ground (brings a new definition to "squatting") and stolen passports in Communist countries. One day, I'll bring you up to speed on those moments of insanity.
My first time in Paris, I was tucking in and out of side streets and discovered a fabulous shop called Conran. It intrigued me because it contains this amazing combination of modern furniture with a great library of design books and accessories. A few years later, I discovered the "anchor store" in London and was even more blown away by the breadth of design contained within the walls.

Mike and I have plans to, one day, build a home that truly represents our style. If my pocket book would allow it, I could decorate the entire home with product from Conran and never look back.
