I believe in beauty. I believe it is everywhere. I believe it is powerful, healing and available to us at any moment, if we pause to discover it or create it.

Since my son went blind, I realized beauty isn’t just pretty. He experiences beauty constantly, and he helped me realize that beauty exists in dimensions far beyond vision. There is an immersive, experiential quality of beauty that I hope to capture here.

May you discover some beautiful inspiration (and a smile)! XO, L

7 Must-Haves from Mark D. Sikes for Henredon

7 Must-Haves from Mark D. Sikes for Henredon

High Point Market is well underway, and it is the most anticipated ever (for me, at least)! Two of my favorite designers - Mark D. Sikes and Darryl Carter - launch product lines this week. Today, let's focus on Mark's California-cool collection for Henredon.

If you read my Best Dressed Home post last week, you know I'm a big fan of Mark's super chic yet approachable Hollywood Hills home. Now, thanks to his collaboration with Henredon, you have a fail-proof way to nail the MDS look. Plus, many of the pieces like his Havenhurst chest are surprisingly functional too. Form and function! Amazing, right?!

MDS's Henredon collection also includes a variety of pedestals, perfect for displaying a standout piece of blue + white porcelain or potted plant. I've spent countless hours sourcing a basic piece like this. It's great to have a go-to resource that offers a variety of styles too, including a modern, lacquered version and a more classic, limed option. What didn't he think of?!XO, L
