I'm being stalked by "Sea Vessel Pottery!"
It's everywhere!!!!
It's lovely but not at all inexpensive.


She left behind a pair of angel wings on my bedside table, for an angel to watch over me.
Although it has to be said, "What were they thinking with the shredded bedspread!



If you can't be on a gorgeous Italian Yacht in the South of France, 
you should at least get to look at pictures! Enjoy!

My final trip to Tatoosh is one of my fondest memories. The design work was essentially done; all that was left was to add some essential accessories.
A helicopter picked me up on the heliopad at the port in Antibes.
My Louis Vuittan luggage and I were whisked away like royalty to our destination in the middle of the Mediterranean where we landed on the roof of Tatoosh! There is nothing like landing a helicopter on huge yacht in the middle of the ocean. After years of hard work it was ten minutes of sheer heaven.
We landed and I stepped out of the helicopter, the wind was blowing, I was in this glorious setting and I was struck by the fact that I was staring in my own little Prada ad.
You know what I mean, glamour, excitement and gorgeous luxury everywhere. The memory still makes me smile. The immaculate crew of beautiful British tanned young men and women whisked my luggage away and my Prada ad fantasy was over. Within minutes I was hard at work doing what I do best creating tasteful interiors.
This is me with my assistant at the time, aboard Tatoosh.
I was asleep but my friends woke me up to see her pass. I was so excited to see her.
It was great to see the guests on board enjoying all of the sweat and tears that went into making Tatoosh what she is today.
Glorious Tatoosh...I miss her.
I spent 3 years designing the interiors for Tatoosh,
an amazing private yacht that is currently owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, but at the time was owned by Craig McCaw.
Tatoosh was a labor of love for me. She is the ultimate in luxury yachting. The clients really wanted Tatoosh to feel like a stately home at sea.
The mood we created was relaxed elegance. Tatoosh was a welcoming haven for friends and family. It remains one of the largest private yachts in the world.
With five decks sporting several salons,
staterooms,
a master suite, (all stone slabs through out the yacht were hand picked in Italy)
multiple dinning areas,
a ginourmous six foot deep shaded swimming pool that can double as a dance floor at night
and even a movie theater
Tatoosh was and is luxury defined.
All of the furniture that you see was custom built and or purchased for Tatoosh from various showrooms in Los Angeles, with a small amount added from Miami and the South of France.
You can see why Tatoosh is a fond memory.
But life is short and couldn't we all use a little island luxury right now? If your budget won't accomodate it at least you can take a mental vacation for a few minutes and DREAM of island breezes and warm sand between your toes.
