Thom Filicia dispels myth no. 12

December 18, 2007/9.15

Thom Filicia uses a good fashion analogy here in his latest design tip on our home page today. Myth no. 12: there’s no need for there to be a single pattern in a room. This one should make immediate sense to anyone browsing this site. […]

Cadillac heads Down Under

December 14, 2007/7.06

[Cross-posted] Cadillac will head Down Under, according to General Motors–Holden’s boss Chris Gubbey.    It makes sense: the brand is well known despite not having retailed here postwar, thanks to American media, President Bush and The Matrix Reloaded.

Thom Filicia dispels myth no. 2: that all furniture must match

December 13, 2007/11.43

Here’s today’s MyStyle.com clip. I love how Thom Filicia from Dress My Nest dispels another myth about interior design. This episode’s myth: all furniture should match. Thom says, ‘Cobblers!’ (Not that exact word: his statements are far better, as you’ll see below.) […]

I’m not entirely sure of the context—sometimes we just get links to these things—but I assume it’s the end of a speech. I do know this is part of the Forecast Earth Summit which the Weather Channel hosted. […]

Missing the holey table

/4.38

In Lucire issue 24, one of my criticisms about the Quadrant Hotel in Auckland was directed at the table. This table is full of holes as an arty feature. Not a good idea: keys, cards and Strepsils kept falling through the holes.    Quadrant sales and marketing director Penny Evans wrote me today to note that […]
