Jamie House Design Relocates from Houston to Berlin
Hallo, wie geht es dir heute?
I've relocated to Berlin and opened a JHD outpost here. I know it's a bit out of the blue. It's been a dream my husband and I have held for a long time. We decided to take the plunge
Hallo, wie geht es dir heute?
I've relocated to Berlin and opened a JHD outpost here. I know it's a bit out of the blue. It's been a dream my husband and I have held for a long time. We decided to take the plunge when AJ turned one. It's taken longer to be settled than we could have ever imagined. How naive of us. That seems to be how it goes with me, always assuming things will work out. And they do. But not necessarily on my timetable.
Katie Steele, design assistant extraordinaire, is running the JHD Houston branch. Thank goodness for Katie.
We've settled into a darling old apartment in the Prenzlauer Berg area. Our lifestyle without a car, walking around the corner to dinner/ groceries/ coffee, parks on nearly every block, has certainly upgraded. One huge difference is the apartments here do not come with lights or kitchens. So we're still awaiting our kitchen install. I'll post more about that soon. Here is Berlin as seen by me:
Auf Wiedersehen!

Wynn Encore Vignettes
I was in Vegas for the latter part of last week taking part in the Bold Summit (Business of Luxury Design). It was great. It was exhausting. What is it about Vegas that is so exhausting? I slept for days afterwards and believe me there were no "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" moments for me. I witnessed those moments for others, but I was there to work.
Of course staying at the Wynn Encore is itself sensory overload for a designer. It was beautiful and tastefully tacky all at once. The hall to the conference rooms is excruciatingly long. I wore flats and brought my cute shoes, the walk is killer. Along the way are gorgeous vignettes though. Beautiful studies in accessorizing. So many perfectly symmetrical and others perfectly asymmetrical. Just really tastefully done vignettes. Here are my shots from my phone of a few of them.
Isn't the attention to detail stunning? The scale of each of these is really very large, it's hard to see that in these shots. I have a lot of respect for Roger Thomas and his team to pull off such tasteful interiors on a grand scale.

Culture Travel : Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth
I got a long weekend in Fort Worth this past weekend due to my husband speaking at an Android conference. I got to meet with a client, eat great food and visit my favorite museum. The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth was designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando. The building gives me goose bumps, it feels alive. I love the art of course, but the building. The building is a modern piece of art itself. The concrete walls. The amazing windows and the shadows the mullions create is beyond. Goose bumps. I always get emotional in this space. I didn't get a shot of the famous windows, I was running out of time and my phone died midway through the museum.
