Metropolitan Home Closes


The December 2009 cover of Metropolitan Home

Another one bites the dust…Publisher Hachette Filipacchi announced today that it will cease publication of modern shelter magazine Metropolitan Home, with the December 2009 issue as its last.

In the wake of Met Home’s closing, Hachette will focus its energy and resources on Elle Decor which just celebrated it’s 20th anniversary and is still holding it’s own in the shelter category.

Designer to Watch: Ryan Korban

Interior designer Ryan Korban has been on my radar since seeing his home featured on The Selby last summer. Soon after he was featured in Domino, then the New York Times, Style.com and most recently on Vogue.com and The Daily.

Oceanview Vistas


A home designed by Martin Lawrence Bullard

Since I’m fresh from vacation and still have the beach on the brain, a post on beach houses seems in order! I always say that one day I will own a beach house of my own. I love everything about the beach…the sun, the sand, the surf…there’s just something about a being near a beach setting that puts me at ease. If I were lucky enough to live right on the ocean I’d want to design my home to include lots of floor-to-ceiling windows which allow me to enjoy the sweeping oceanview vistas …
