spring tips!
April 16th, 2010check out oprah.com for several fun spring decorating tips, including one from me, yay!
feathers!
April 11th, 2010i was at the design center this past week when i saw what i thought was a pretty, wave patterned wallpaper at schumacher. upon closer inspection i realized that this paper was in fact comprised of a million feathers, creating this look which drew me in – feathers!! it was stunning!!!
these papers, the nest collection, are apparently handmade and all the feathers humanely gathered, which is important. as this process is difficult and time consuming, im sure, the papers are quite pricey, but if able to spring for it, totally worth it! samples are not available, but the entire collection can be seen here
definitely my latest obsession!!!
some examples from the website
tweet, tweet my chickadees!
April 5th, 2010ok, i’ve finally done it! i can’t guarantee clever, witty or riveting tweets every time, but if you want to see me try, (or at least want to see what im up to), join me on twitter! xo
confetti!
April 2nd, 2010my obsession with the confetti system was recently reignited when i caught a glimpse of their latest endeavor, these amazing garlands! i might be a bit behind in taking notice of these, but now that i have, i cant stop thinking about them! i get the same feeling from these garlands as i do when stepping foot inside my favorite vegan bakery, babycakes nyc - the colors, the textures, the whimsy – delicious! you can buy their glam pinatas here, or contact them for details on the garlands. for me, its love!

March 23rd, 2010hey guys, anybody out there a writer with design writing experience and at least one book under their belt? new project in the works, deets to come…potential applicants email me at info@kishaniperera.com.
hb!
March 9th, 2010for as far back as i can remember, ive obsessively poured over house beautiful magazine, dreaming of the day when i may see my name, even in teeny tiny print, grace one of its pages. well… in a few months, that dream will come true! today photographer joe schmeltzer and his team came over to shoot me in my bedroom for the piece, why i love my bedroom, yay! it was a blast, and my boys may even end up in the final pic, but i guess i’ll just have to wait till summer to find out for sure!!
