ROOMS AND WORDS

Belly — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 13:39:43 -0400

I have something to admit... I've been keeping a secret from all of you. Yes, I hinted about it here and there, made some vague promises, but I never actually told you what to expect. Please don't blame me, I only wanted to surprise you and when deadlines, work and life pushed the expected launch a bit further I didn't want to promise anything in vain. Didn't that sound like a soap opera scene? This was so much fun to write! So, anyway, on a less melodramatic note, let me announce the launch of Rooms & Words this August!

OFFICE REVEAL AND GOOD NEWS

Belly — Thu, 26 May 2011 04:04:19 -0400

Phew... You must be thinking this post is fata morgana at this point, huh? So where have I been? 1. I've been finishing the office redo. Yep, there are photos below. I must say I regret having them taken (by the talented and charming Dana Israeli) at this point. I...

DESIGN CRUSH: GILI UNGAR

Belly — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 09:42:08 -0400

Once in a while, if you're lucky enough, you fall in love with an image, a vision, a room, a design. I'm sure all of you design bloggers and lovers know what I mean. If you're lucky enough it sticks with you, inspires you, maybe even transform you in some...

OFFICE REDO PART DEAUX

Belly — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 19:00:35 -0400

Why hello there, people! It's been ages, hasn't it? I've been busy working on the "during" of the office I'm designing for my parents (see the "befores" here), plus meeting some writing deadlines. How have you been? Source: emmas.blogg.se via Chedva on Pinterest So, as promised, I'm back with the...

BEFORE THE AFTER

Belly — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 09:08:21 -0500

Is there anything more flattering than family members asking you to decorate for them? I think not. I was touched when my parents approached me regarding their neglected ex-guestroom slash craft room slash basement substitute. Being a successful social worker in a field where privacy matters the most, my mother...

BEING GRAPHIC

Belly — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 05:46:41 -0500

I'm running late to a collection preview in one of my favorite home wares stores, so I'll keep it short: What is graphic design ... what a graphic designer does from Design Council on Vimeo. I don't know a lot about graphic design (though I'm at awe of those who...

DIRTY SEXY MONEY

Belly — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 09:58:21 -0500

Hi Guys, ready for my first podcast ever? I'm warning you in advance: it's not really polished (because that's how I roll) and the subject isn't really sexy. In short, I'm talking about how product-centric blogging has made me "want" much more than I really do and how that made...

GOING GOTH

Belly — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 06:20:13 -0500

Recently I've gotten to know more and more work of Israeli designers and decorators, and I must say I'm impressed. When Ally of From The Right Bank asked me to guest post while she's away, I was honored. And I was happy to highlight TaGa, one of my recently discovered...

READY FOR YOUR CLOSE-UP?

Belly — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 08:46:45 -0500

Who would have thought a close up on a cabbage would make such a fine piece of art? Sometimes, extreme close-ups almost have the feeling of an abstract painting. I once took a picture of my grey sweater really up close, and the result took my breath away even though...
