Great team, great boss, great mid century house. 4 hours of sleep, a night spent at a seedy local motel and a great 'big reveal' this morning for the homeowners and the cameras. They cried. And I want to live in the space we put together for them in just 5 days. Thanks to <a href="http://www.the-brick-house.com/">Morgan</a> and <a href="http://hrrrthrrr.tumblr.com/">Heather</a> and Mike and Mark. I'll let you know when the show is on air. I'm glad we have another episode to do together.

The mix of people (from the folks at <a href="http://www.fireclaytile.com/">Fire Clay Tiles</a> to <a href="http://www.saavedradesignstudio.com/contact.php">James Saavedra</a> to Gabrielle from <a href="http://www.designecology.com">Design Ecology</a> to <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1344797/">David Metzler</a>) were intelligent, thoughtful and interesting. We were served an incredible meal by Chef Michael Garner, waited on by a great serving team and it was just low key and fun.<br /><br />You can see a little sneak peek <a href="http://standardmag.squarespace.com/journal/2010/9/26/taste-makers-dinner-a-photo-essay.html">on the Standard Blog</a>. <br /><br />My favorite thing (besides that Kelly had found all the serving ware and dishes second hand and so the table was a beautiful mix of mismatched vintage) was that we each had a little card at our seat with a multiple choice question and an essay question. Kelly put so much thought into each one and we read them aloud to get to know each other (and even though I normally hate that, it was great) -- they'll be printed in the next issue of Standard.<br /><br />I felt so official seeing my name in print (and even spelled correctly).

My week ended up being packed with a lot more than I thought it would be, including helping my friend merchandise her storefront. I only have this crappy iPhone picture but we had so much fun rearranging the space and I had forgotten how much I love physically putting rooms together (and not just <a href="http://www.laurejoliet.com">photographing them</a>). It was a nice change of pace (to not be glued to my chair in front of a computer and photoshopping <i>all</i> night long).<br /><br />Next month there will be an official launch of the showroom so I'll keep you posted so that you can go there, too.<br /><br />I also nailed down plans to go to New York for the launch of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rue-Magazine/133115066707419?ref=ts">Rue Magazine</a> (did you see the latest <a href="http://cocokelley.blogspot.com/2010/09/rue-of-week.html">sneak peek on coco and kelly?</a>) and get some East Coast in me before the long hard California winter. Also, before I turn thirty one. Yes. Thirty. One. Sigh.<br /><br />Also, have you guys seen what <a href="http://www.the-brick-house.com/2010/09/brick-house-design.html">Morgan has been up to?</a> Yes, she is finally officially offering design services. Hit her up, she will school you (in a nice way, I promise, she's really very nice).<br /><br />And for those of you obsessed with tomatoes (I mean, who isn't?) check out <a href="http://www.themarionhousebook.com/?p=2790">Emma's gorgeous post on the subject.</a><br /><br />Happy Weekend Everyone, stay out of trouble!laurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04783545818294797306noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225354449389195574.post-82633950685146526102010-09-09T13:12:00.000-07:002010-09-09T13:26:08.389-07:00New Spread in Standard Magazine<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TIlAjXqJW-I/AAAAAAAAGWQ/EBXVP8vtPFk/s1600/standard1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TIlAjXqJW-I/AAAAAAAAGWQ/EBXVP8vtPFk/s400/standard1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515010195082271714" /></a><br /><br />September might not be so bad after all. A bunch of work I did over the summer is making its way into the public starting with a spread I shot for Kelly LaPlante's new online magazine (with a focus on green): <a href="http://www.standardmag.com">Standard Magazine</a>. I got to shoot this incredible home in the hollywood hills that married indoors with out. It was for a piece called "The Modern Man's Guide To Hillside Living' and it starts on page 66.<br /><br />Here are some of my favorite shots (including some outtakes that didn't make it into the spread).

I spent some time with friends and family out in Palm Springs. Thanks for everyone's suggestions for dealing with heartbreak. If I can offer my insights so far:<br /><br />1) See friends often<br />2) Wear nice clothes (don't just sit around in sweats)<br />3) Exercise<br />4) Watch funny things (like <a href="http://www.hulu.com/louie">this</a> and <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/2b68dc4d5f/drunk-history-vol-3-featuring-danny-mcbride-from-drunk-history-danny-mcbride-derekwaters-jen-kirkman-and-jeremykonner?playlist=94888">this</a> and <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/search/a?q=between+two+ferns&x=0&y=0">this</a>.)<br />5) Keep Busy (thankfully I've gotten a chance to work with some amazing people recently: from <a href="http://www.standardmag.com/welcome/">Kelly LaPlante</a> to <a href="http://www.ruemag.com/">Rue Magazine</a> to my old boss <a href="http://nadiageller.com/blog/">Nadia Geller</a>).<br /><br />Once I have my own place again I would love to get a series of these amazing Cake Paintings from <a href="http://paulferney.bigcartel.com/product/meyer-lemon-cake">Paul Ferney</a>.

They built the house 28 years ago and, as you can see, it's made of logs. The inside is warm and comforting and filled with artwork and textiles from their travels abroad: afghanistan, mexico and asia. <br /><br />It was perfect for my second trip up to Alaska, due mainly to the fact that E and I are breaking up after 5 years together. I went up to be taken care of, to be outside and to be comforted. It was a lively house with all 3 of of my cousins, aunt and uncle, 2 dogs and 3 cats. I'm glad I took the time to indulge in trip #2.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TH1AeYk10AI/AAAAAAAAGTI/hFE3Gu1GJFU/s1600/weed14.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Well, if you're curious to see more, I posted a <a href="http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/house-tours/jon-and-tykes-modern-cabin-house-tour-124778">house tour with a bunch more pictures on AT</a> the other day. It's such a great house and Jon and Tyke are such an inspiration, happy they let me broadcast it to the world!laurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04783545818294797306noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225354449389195574.post-35735381074475368652010-08-20T16:36:00.000-07:002010-08-20T16:57:48.943-07:00Summer Travels<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TG8U63UomCI/AAAAAAAAGRg/RC0FfzQ8U2c/s1600/summer.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 370px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TG8U63UomCI/AAAAAAAAGRg/RC0FfzQ8U2c/s400/summer.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5507643870812870690" /></a> A week ago I was at <a href="http://www.acehotel.com/palmsprings">the Ace</a> in 109 degree weather by the pool. Now I'm in Alaska (<a href="http://athomeathome.blogspot.com/2010/08/alaska.html">yes, again</a>) fresh from a camping trip with my cousins in Denali National Park where we saw bears, wolves, eagles, moose, caribou and loads and loads of striking landscape. Anchorage has been clear the last couple of days so I've soaked in some stunning sunsets and views across the cook inlet. Summer is rolling along bringing change and some space. Back to LA soon enough.laurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04783545818294797306noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225354449389195574.post-82489831606440180492010-08-14T09:00:00.000-07:002010-08-14T09:00:03.120-07:00Before Photos<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TEYn7tJ9yNI/AAAAAAAAGPY/pBp7cblbtRM/s1600/Picture+16.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TEYn7tJ9yNI/AAAAAAAAGPY/pBp7cblbtRM/s400/Picture+16.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496124301939427538" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TEYn7E7X8bI/AAAAAAAAGPQ/lvP5FfUgQ7M/s1600/Picture+15.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 264px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TEYn7E7X8bI/AAAAAAAAGPQ/lvP5FfUgQ7M/s400/Picture+15.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496124291140809138" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TEYn6_n3BbI/AAAAAAAAGPI/EtG4YIgskec/s1600/Picture+13.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 265px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TEYn6_n3BbI/AAAAAAAAGPI/EtG4YIgskec/s400/Picture+13.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496124289716782514" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TEYn6QoA9WI/AAAAAAAAGPA/aWkmk5Y6bHI/s1600/Picture+12.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tf1pYLF_IJg/TEYn6QoA9WI/AAAAAAAAGPA/aWkmk5Y6bHI/s400/Picture+12.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496124277100967266" /></a><br />I have a soft spot for the mundane, the broken down, the empty and slightly sad in photographs. So it isn't really any surprise that I love these <a href="http://www.tylergourley.com/covehousebefore/">before pictures</a> from a mid century remodel. They're a little <a href="http://judyfiskin.com/photographs/dingbat.html">Judy Fiskin</a> , a little Bill Eggleston, a little <a href="http://www.google.com/images?q=candida+hofer&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=gyZGTLGsBoK8sQOpv7ztAQ&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CDYQsAQwAw&biw=1440&bih=747">Candida Hofer</a>. They speak volumes about the history of the house. And though the finished house is basically a <a href="http://blackeiffel.blogspot.com/2010/06/classy-mid-century-modern-update.html">dream house</a> (my dream house, even) the before pictures are so rich in texture and history that I have trouble looking away.<br /><br />More images from Alaska are on their way, in a twist of the time/space continuum I'm actually <s>going back up for a couple of days (leaving tonight)</s> there right now, camping with my cousins.laurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04783545818294797306noreply@blogger.com6
