Greetings,

Well - let's start our tour through some of my favourite Los Angeles designers with the perfect combination of style and charm.  Windsor Smith.  I had the great pleasure of meeting Windsor last year when I was down in Los Angeles - and I can assure you that her gracious designs are matched by her charming personality.  Her LA home was recently featured in House Beautiful - enjoy a peek into this glamorous space . . . bright.  balanced.  chic.

The Master Bedroom
“I found this amazing embroidered satin from Bergamo Fabrics and used 
it on the bed, to create a little jewel box,” Smith says. “And then I added 
that whimsical Italian mirror. It’s like a star hanging over us.”
- Windsor Smith


The Family Room


"For a dinner party, the chandeliers are lit very low, and all the silver sparkles. 
You feel as if you're eating in a fine restaurant, yet you're at home. 
People feel so relaxed. We linger for hours"
- Windsor Smith

Cheers,
Scot
