EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Brooklyn Nets power forward Kris Humphries may have to undergo an MRI after experiencing issues with his abdominal muscles, coach Avery Johnson said Monday."He didn't feel great today," Johnson said. "(Trainer) Tim (Walsh) is gonna send him over to our doctors to get him checked out. He said he feels worse."Humphries' status for Tuesday afternoon's game against the Boston Celtics is unknown. Johnson said he would provide an update prior to the game.The 27-year-old Humphries was a DNP for the first time this season on Sunday and has fallen out of Johnson's rotation. Gerald Wallace moved over to power forward and Keith Bogans was inserted into the starting lineup at small forward in place of Humphries.Humphries, who signed a two-year, $24 million contract in the offseason, is shooting just 38.3 percent from the floor in December. He has started 20 of the 25 games he's appeared in this season, and averaged 7.1 points and 7.4 rebounds.

Kris just can't seem to catch a break! Maybe things will get better for the multi-million dollar NBA player since Superior Court Judge Stephen Moloney recently told his attorney and Kim Kardashian's attorney that they will be returning to court in February to get the ball roling to relieve them of their marital debacle. They will either get an annulment (Kris is pushing for it) or divorce with only being happily married for a mere 72-days.

Wallpaper Kimberly Lewis Home

I have been looking for a reason to use products from Kimberly Lewis' wallcovering line since meeting her at Blogfest this year.  When I decided to switch directions with my business, I was afraid that I wouldn't get the chance because I wasn't sure if I'd be involved in residential design again this soon.  But as fate would have it, the first day of my new job (Monday) provided me with the opportunity to throw her wares into the mix.  Turns out, my very first project at my new post is a ranch house re-do.  

Wallpaper Kimberly Lewis Home

When I got the images of the house on my desk, I noticed that the walls were all dark paneling and that the ceilings weren't very high.  I'm out of the painted accent wall phase, so I quickly started to think of alternative ways of making the walls special and the rooms appear larger.  
Kimberly's wallcoverings seems like the perfect fit.  I think that they're fun, creative, and provide just the graphic punch our otherwise white color palette needs.  The easy part is recommending the paper, the hard part is fighting for it at every production meeting until I can see it successfully installed in the project.  Wish me luck!

A Perfect Place for A Scandal - Olivia Pope's Bedding

To contact us Click HERE


I couldn't help but notice the yummy duvet cover on Olivia Pope's bed during last week's episode of Scandal.  Since I am obsessed with all things Olivia Pope, especially the hugely inappropriate relationship she has with the President.  Who writes this stuff?  Of course I know and of course, I think she deserves an Emmy.  Anyhoo, back to...The bedding.   I know you want it and here's where you can get it.

It's the Embroidered Frame bedding from West Elm and guess what?   It's on sale!  I know, I know!  I've seen this bedding and held it in my hands and ladies believe me, it feels as good as it looks.  I think we should all take it home and create our own little perfect place to roll around and have... well, lonely nights thinking about our ex boyfriends. :)  What?  That's what Olivia does.
Quick little side note.  If you are feeling really bossy or should I say presidential, have it monogrammed.I would.

There's a New Male Presence in My Life

To contact us Click HERE
Bold, unique, and oh so well put together.  Who needs the king's horses and men?  His confidence is unbreakable and his impression lasts way past the first encounter with his individual style.From his hair, to the way he rocks his jeans, to his choice of furnishings, the Blue Satin Male takes pride in the value of his brand.  He is a connoisseur of design that reflects who he is and savors decor that conveys his story through the language of color, form, and texture.See the way he strokes his 5 o'clock shadow?  He is not afraid to be smooth, yet edgy.  He is multidimensional, and knows how to give and take with a flare for artful negotiation.  The Blue Satin Male likes to mix it up, creating swagger at home without losing one drop of authenticity. 
I have had the pleasure to create exceptional spaces with many stylish men who exude the Blue Satin Male archetype.  As the inspiration for this site, it is my hope that the pictures and content curated here are a reflection of and an inspiration for all.Check out images from recent blog posts after the jump.

"How vain is it to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live" -Henry David Thoreau

Hello star,
Thank you for your heartfeltcomments. Here's the thing. It is natural for usto be in the middle of some type of change or evolution. My grandmother use to say,"You are either green and growing or you're brown and dying."  Onething I embraced very early in life is the idea of celebrating the journey. And please- don't mistake it- Life is a journey. 
You hear that all the time, but haveyou ever taken the chance to really examine what it really means? Two very important characters define ajourney. 1. It means moving from one place to another. 2nd it refers to theactual time that it takes to go from one place to another. In both cases a fewthings are for sure. You will be moving- and you will end up in a differentplace than you began. 
I think that the comparison to life asa journey also has a lot to do with the things found on the journey.Unforeseen obstacles, UN imaginable fatigue, and unexpected terrain are all synonymouswith journey.  But so are friendly villagers and breathtaking views.

I like to think of myself as ajourneyman or woman. One who is accustom to traveling.  This just means,that I've had enough experiences that I know what to expect in many cases andhow to navigate most scenarios.  Of course that accounts for places thatI've been before. I feel more comfortable traveling to New York for instance than I wouldChina.
Life is a little bit harder, becauselife is in fact a personal journey into the unknown.  I like to say it'slike running in the dark.
There are no travel guides any friendswho've gone before. It's your journey and you are beating the path. 
One of the biggest mistakes that we canmake while on our journey is looking around and comparing ourselves amongstourselves.  To me this is by far the worse thing that we can do toourselves.  I don't care how tempting it is to stray, you have to stay onyour own path and keep your eyes on your own star.
This has never been more important thannow that the world is literally at our doors.  Not only does the Internetallow you to look into other people's lives and possibly compare it to yours,but for them to look at your life as well and Judge it.  The fear of beingjudged is debilitating, and paralyzing. It stops books from being written,speeches from being given and dresses from being worn.

What we have to know is that we areperfect just as we are and well equipped to make the journey. Damn whateveryone else is thinking about you, your size or your talents. None of itmatters.  All that matters is that you keep moving.  All that mattersis that you trust God and allow your path to unfold in front of you.  
I often tell people that I haveeverything that I need when I need it.  For example, I went to the bookstoretoday to look for books on becoming a Vegetarian.  I couldn't find what Ineeded so I went to pick up my mail and go home.  In my mail was a previewcopy of "Betty Goes Vegan" by Annie and Dan Shannon. Just like that,I needed something and the universe provided it.  My life has always beenlike this.
In life we will face all types ofobstacles.  There will be illnesses to overcome, grief to reconcile, heartbreakto let go of and forgiveness to both give and receive.
One last thing.  Our body, ourconstant companion, is there to allow us to enjoy the journey. Our fivesenses, not our dress size is how we interact with nature and is ALL we need. God has given us what we need to see asunrise, smell a rose, touch a child, or hear a melody. 
You are going to do great things fromnow on. You will because after this moment, you will remember that this is yourlife and you already have everything you need to make it wonderful.
