Dwell on Design 2009 - Best of show by JG


I was able to visit the Dwell on Design show in Los Angeles this last weekend at the convention center to work with American Clay and see my friend Cyril at EcoStucco. I had some interesting discoveries and of course many inspiring designs that will only make me and my clients happier and healthier. My favorite part of the day was hanging out with Design Star cast/ interior designer Matte Locke so we shared tales of behind the scenes gossip (we I unfortunately can't share but I will give the highlights of the experience). He is a truly genuine man with loads of talent and spunk.

Here are my favorite items from the show

Woolly Pocket Garden Company
which seets soft sided modular nests for growing plants on YOUR WALLS! Yes I said, your walls. They are breathable and it is so cool I'm going to do it in my own home. Like today.

AGI grass rugs. I have always loved the smell of fresh cut grass but now you can have it indoors (well the grass but now you don't have to cut it) with this fake grass for indoor or outdoor. I'm just saying I would use this instead of carpet if I can't have cork or wood.

Last but not least the totally amazing Astek inc. which offers vintage recreations, removeable wall coverings with eco-friendly solutions. You can even design your own.

The fourth season of Design Star is about to begin July 19th at 10pm eastern/pacific time and this year I found myself as one of the cast! I learned so much about myself and about what I termed "design boot camp" which was one of the most exciting experiences of my life. The ride isn't over...tune in to see more videos on HGTV DESIGN STAR daily blog for updates.
