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!

Collected by
David Wiseman
Earlier this week, my lovely friend, Rodman, invited me to be part of a small group of people to preview David Wiseman’s extraordinary new sculpture at the fabulous West Hollywood Library. If you are not familiar with Mr. Wiseman’s work, you are in for a treat. His gorgeous, organic sculptures grow out of walls and ceilings and stretch towards windows, as if they are seeking the light. For this installation, he chose to sculpt sycamore trees crawling up the central staircase as a way to connect the interior space to the natural space around the library (which is soon to become an amazing 5 acre park). Please enjoy:
Tuesday Mailbag
Happy Tuesday to you all. First mailbag of the new year and we have two good questions. Let’s get down to business, shall we?

I have a tiny powder room with Cole & Son’s Foretti in gray.
I need to get a ceiling fixture and can’t have one that hangs too low or it will hit people in the head. I really like this one but don’t want to spend that kind of money. Any suggestions? Any colors you recommend? I need your help! Thank you! Read the rest of this post »
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!
