Inside Gracias Madre – West Hollywood’s Most Popular Mexican Hotspot

In honor of Cinco de Mayo I’m sharing a peek inside one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, Gracias Madre in West Hollywood. Gracias Madre features a 100% organic, plant based menu but even those who aren’t vegetarian or vegan will admit that the food and cocktails absolutely delicious! And the restaurant’s chic interiors are arguably even more yummy than its cuisine. Designed by LA based Wendy Hayworth in collaboration with landscape designer Scott Schrader, the space features an airy, organic vibe with, rustic touches and authentic finishes such as the stunning graphic tiles on the bar which were handmade …

Elaine’s Tiny But Mighty Studio Apartment Makeover

When my friend Elaine downsized from a large apartment in Harlem with roommates to a small studio in the West Village she couldn’t figure out how to make her apartment look cohesive and stylish so I agreed to come by to give her a few pointers. Living in New York I’ve seen a lot of small apartments but when I first saw Elaine’s place I was stunned! It was teeny tiny! The main living space is a little under 90 square feet and had a very tricky layout! And it was like the scene of a decorating crime. There was …

A Teen Vogue Editor’s Stylish Rental Bathroom Makeover

My friend Elaine is one stylish woman. She also happens to be the Beauty & Health Director at Teen Vogue and not long ago she moved to a new apartment in the super trendy West Village. Elaine says that as long as she’s been in New York she has always wanted to have her very own Carrie Bradshaw moment living in the West Village but in order to live in one of Manhattan’s most coveted neighborhoods, she had to make a huge sacrifice on space. Her entire apartment is just under 300 square feet! Elaine was stumped on how to …

Introducing Waterworks Kitchen

For more than 30 years Waterworks has been a leader in the bath industry and now the brand is branching out into the kitchen category with the launch of Waterworks Kitchen and a newly opened flagship kitchen showroom in Manhattan. Kitchens were a natural transition for Waterworks since many of the products the company has expertise in designing for the bath could easily be scaled for a kitchen environment.

A Peek Inside My Home for the Holidays with Balsam Hill

During the holidays when I was growing up both my mom and grandma went over-the-top with their Christmas decorations. We’re talking little Christmas villages, santa figurines, garlands up the staircase, twinkling lights indoors and out, and of course, the most beautiful Christmas tree ever. Having grown up with an appreciation for creating a beautiful and festive holiday atmosphere, decorating my own home for Christmas is something that I look forward to each year. Living in New York, however, the process of getting a tree and decorating can be a huge hassle. Once you buy the tree, you have to figure …

Inside Phillip Lim’s Studio

When people ask me who my favorite fashion designers are Phillip Lim is always on that list. HIs pieces are so beautiful and feminine but also a bit edgy and urban. I have a few Philip Lim pieces and I always feel like such a “cool girl” when I wear them. Fashion blogger Garance Dore recently posted a tour of Lim’s design studio and it’s just as chic as I would have expected. Although I am probably more known for my love of neo-traditional design, I totally appreciate a modern aesthetic and I’m absolutely smitten with Lim’s modernist studio, especially …
