Christmas and Hanukkah may be over, but New Year’s Eve is right around the corner, and even Kwanzaa lasts until January 1st. In short, there are still holiday parties to attend, and thank goodness! We don’t want the season to end yet!
That said, every good guest knows that if you’re invited to a person’s home for an event, a hostess gift is not only a way to make yourself very popular, it’s also a great way to thank the host or hostess for spending the time and money to throw the party, plus using their home as the venue.

Is anyone else shocked that it’s November already? We are, and we think it’s because we’ve had such an Indian summer that we didn’t notice the time passing. Just earlier this week it was 90° here in Orange County! But today it’s raining, so we’re getting a bit more in the mood for that wonderful time of the year for celebration and family: Thanksgiving.
We wanted to share with you some easy, fun and affordable table decorations for Thanksgiving that didn’t involve pumpkins, corncobs, turkeys or cranberries. We love tradition, but we love to mix it up at this festive holiday time of year. All of these items can be purchased online, except of course the Martha Stewart item, which is more of a do-it-yourself. But that just makes it all the more special when everyone sits down at your beautiful Thanksgiving table. (read the rest of this post…)

Last week we put our newest employee and assistant designer, Ali Bacon, on the spot to come up with her take on dining chairs, and she definitely lived up to our LRM Interior Design standards. What great choices!
This week we present the guru of mid-century modernity, Senior Designer Jan Smith. Jan is a true fan of classic styling, and appreciates the quality that only good craftsmanship and design can provide. She’s also a stickler for comfort—Jan is not one to take beauty if it’s uncomfortable. As the Bauhaus motto enforced “form and function”, so does Mrs. Smith.
To the point, this girl knows what a good dining room chair looks like! Let’s get her top five picks: (read the rest of this post…)

With the holidays approaching, you should be thinking about your entertainment plans. Are you going to a family member’s home for Thanksgiving, or have you been invited to a holiday party? Or perhaps you’re like us, and you are in the process of putting together the party of the year?
And if you are organizing Orange County’s premiere party (even if it’s a small gathering at your home or office), you need to pull out all the stops and look at every detail. And that’s why we are looking at chairs for the dining room this week.
We’re also putting our new Assistant Designer on the spot this week with her list of favorite chairs and why. We’d like to introduce Ali Bacon, who recently joined the LRM team! Welcome! (read the rest of this post…)

The Les Alizés Collection from Brunschwig & Fils.
Everybody knows that we love Kravet—we love their furniture (especially the KravetSmart line!), we love their fabrics, we love their trimmings. And now there’s even more reason to love Kravet—they saved the esteemed fabric company Brunschwig & Fils.
This American company was founded in 1900 and has always been highly regarded in the industry, not just for their fabrics, but as a resource. Unfortunately, due to the economic upheaval, Brunschwig & Fils was forced to file for bankruptcy in late 2010.
But wait, that’s not all. Kravet president Cary Kravet swoops in like a superhero to Brunschwig & Fils’ rescue. Although they seem like a competitor, it makes complete sense for Kravet to add them to their line of offerings. (read the rest of this post…)

Our eyes are always peeled for the best of the best that’s out on the market. We need to keep au courant for our clients, who look to us to not only find what fits in their home, but also what’s new in the design world. Many of our clients like to freshen up their design with the latest colors, textures, accessories and pieces to keep up with the trends.
And that just means that our job = what we love the most. Shopping! And even if we don’t shop in the traditional manner, we bookmark these items we fall in love with, both digitally and literally, to refer back to when the time is right to purchase for a project.
So, here are some pieces that were picked out by the award-winner herself, Lisa McDennon, with her inimitable taste and style.This time we’re looking at pieces that are categorized as “modern”—whether that’s Mid-Century Modern or contemporary. Enjoy! (read the rest of this post…)

Even though we are basically fabric-obsessed—love that print you’re wearing, by the way—there’s a few companies we love more than others. You already know of our dedication to Kravet fabrics, as they have the combination of quality, durability and, of course, style, but Robert Allen has that certain je ne sais quoi that we just can’t get enough of.
We couldn’t quite make this a Top Five Faves as we couldn’t whittle our choices down from six. We felt that these fabrics presented a range of reasons why we squeal when the new Robert Allen fabric books hit the studio. So, without further ado, here are our top picks: (read the rest of this post…)

The main lobby for Golden Comm, an website design firm in Irvine.
We are officially over the moon! For the third year running, our bustling design firm, LRM Interior Design, has taken home awards from the ASID OC’s annual Design Awards! This year’s was held on September 11, 2011 at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano. Although Lisa McDennon, our esteemed leader, has always had a bit of a competitive streak, she only entered our work for the first time three years ago, and has won a total of four Gold awards during that time.
