As we were dismantling our La Cienega window recently, I popped over to Downtown for one last look at the incredible Pedro Friedeberg sculpture the talented and hilarious Kim Alexandriuk used in her Diego Rivera-inspired window.
Spring has finally sprung in earnest here in Southern California and there is something about this time of year that always makes me want to change up my bedding. For me, spring cleaning always includes a fresh look for the bed. Therefore, I have been shopping and thought I’d share some of my finds. One of the easiest ways to change the flavor of your bed is by throwing a colorful bedspread or blanket into the mix. I love this 100% cotton Verre Bedspread from Heidi Merrick. It only comes in a queen but you could fold it at the end of a king bed and use it as a blanket. The saturated colors and stitched stripes on the reverse side make me smile:
And as I am now into exploring the pastel side of life, I found this Stone Soup Blanket from Pine Cone Hill very appealing:
I had an absolutely lovely afternoon there on Monday. It all starting of with a boozy lunch (that rare treat) in the beautiful BG Restaurant designed by Kelly Wearstler.

Hey people. I’m Molly Luetkemeyer (loot-kah-my-er, just so we can get that out of the way). I have been a practicing interior designer at my firm, M. Design Interiors for the past 10 years (for the full back story, check out my about page). My ongoing mission is to guide clients to create personal, comfortable, chic homes that reflect their needs and particular tastes. No one should live in a showroom or someone else's house. Period. I am inspired by a range of sources from modern and contemporary art to nature, fashion and vintage design books to stuff I see on the street. It’s always coming at me and I want to share a little of it with you.
So take a look and as always, let me know what you think at molly at mdesignla dot com!
