London Shopping + Walking

I want to share amazing things I saw walking around London!
Follow me as we take a peak!

 Anthropologie on Kings Road

has a shoe shop (only one, they said)

Loved the Anthropologie gourd light fixture

Client and I were looking for furniture and went to Sweetpea & Willow

I thought this was such a grand idea!

Library wallpaper (which I Adore - could you guess)

behind glass then papered inside

Covent Garden street performers
There was another man in silver

Clever with all the boxes

On Bond Street

Could not resist

  skulls at an art gallery...

Wedding

Here are some snapshots as we were preparing for Maggie & Michael Jelenic's (dear friends) wedding reception @ Vibiana in Los Angeles.Yes, PBID did a Wedding!  Check out Vibiana's website- read the history of the place, amazing. 

These images are just a teaser, until we get the professional photos, but that is for another blog post. I promise!

The alter at the front of the reception before it got dark.

Darker with all the candles lit & the wedding cake table

This is a shot as they were testing the lights.

Beautiful Southern Ca evening before everyone was brought inside for dinner.

The groom's family is Croatian and a cooked pig is presented at the reception at midnight.

This is a picture we took before each morsel of the pig was eaten!

What fun Janet and I had + all the extra hands that day.

A BIG thank you to each of you!

Dennis Severs' House - London

I had heard about this Dennis Severs' House tour since the 90's but this last trip to UK, I finally took this amazing tour. 

The experience was really indescribable.

Lighted only by Candles, there are smells of food cooking, food on the tables half eaten, sounds of the household(They have speakers throughout the house). The tour takes about 45 minutes. I did not read (sorry) about no camera's allowed so I was clicking away madly... until one of the floor supervisors politely told me the policy. (there is a kind person on every floor, there to answer questions and guide you.) You must see this place - takes your breath away. (At least it took my breath!)

The attention to detail is quite beyond the beyond. 

Here are some pictures I took. Enjoy!

 Dennis lived in the house until his death -(loyal friends came in to care for him) the house has no electricity, running water - excuse me, this was amazing!!!!! 

If you ever have a chance to go visit, make sure you call and make a reservation. Spaces are limited and you don't want to miss this!

There is this website that has information of the tour here.

 Also the Dennis Severs' House website has general information as well.
