Leave it to my uber-chic client, Lee, to turn me on to my favorite new line of lighting! How I love creative, collaborative clients. These pieces from Jason Koharik’s Collected by collection are so good that I seriously considered not sharing them with you all but then I figured, the more the merrier (sorry Lee!). Do you see un peau de Serge Mouille’s influence here? J’adore. For you LA folks, Mr. Koharik’s work is carried by Lawson Fenning. Use them in good taste and enjoy!

Aw yeah… Those were my first thoughts when I saw the amazing accessories and lighting from the dynamite interior design brain of Michelle Nussbaumer. I can’t get enough of these divine “Splendoras.” They feel like a modern take on a Mexican folk art cross – minus the religion and plus a little sexy. No doubt, Ms. Nussbaumer has been influenced by the treasures of the deeply chic Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende, where she is lucky enough to be working on a project.

Am looking for some round rugs, preferably 5 ft to 6 ft in diameter- maybe a sisal. any suggestions?
ML: I love round rugs in the right spot but they can be tricky to find. Never fear, I have tracked down some good options and hopefully one of these will work for you. Anthropologie is working out the round rug at the moment (and all come in the 5×5 diameter you are looking for). For starters, there is this Doily Rug (I particularly like it in the gray but in the interest of full disclosure, I should say it comes in brown, too)
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!
