Becky and I tried. Really hard. We wanted to bring you witty banter about this much anticipated Bravo series. We encountered one huge road block. The show is just not that interesting. We still love Kelly Cutrone and think she has a lot of great advice to offer to young, ambitious women but her show is kind of dull and her employees are pretty vapid. We just won't be staying up late on Monday evenings dishing about the show anymore. Kell on Earth is becoming one of those shows you randomly catch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend you continue to visit Becky's blog on a regular basis for hilarious updates on fashion, decor, and pop culture nonsense.

Week 2 of the Kell on Earth dish is up now at TheBubbReport. Head over to listen to Becky and me ramble on hilariously and to interject your own insights. That's right I said insights in reference to a Bravo reality TV show. This is important stuff people.

I recently collaborated with photographer Diana Brennan to create a room design inspired by one of her photographs. I was drawn to this Still Pond photograph and this modern room design quickly evolved around it.
The most fun part of this project is that Diana has taken my room design and using Google Sketchup created a 3-D model to show how it would all look in place. Check out Diana's blog to see how it came together. This idea came to Diana after having several clients who were unable to visual a print in their space or couldn't decide what size print to order. Is this is a genius idea?!

As promised yesterday, Becky and my commentary on the premier of Kell on Earth are up at TheBubbReport now. If you caught it last night join in on dish.
The best thing that has come out of starting this blog is the friends I've made in the process. Many of these friends are people that I may never meet in person, only know what they look like from their profile photos, and may not even know their last name. It seems a bit odd to call these folks friends without knowing the very intimate details of their personal lives. They are so different from my "real life" friends which are a very close circle most of I have known for more than half of my life. Besides these differences I still consider these online acquaintances true friends.
One the friends I've made through blogging is Becky. While she is trained as a landscape architect, has a great eye for design and writes for both Hatch the Design Public blog and Houzz what we actually bonded over was reality TV. We both watch way too much of it and love to dish about it. Anything on Bravo is usually high on our list of favorites. Imagine our excitement when Bravo announced their new reality show Kell on Earth featuring Kelly Cutrone, founder of the PR firm People's Revolution. If you watched The Hills or The City you probably know Kelly as Lauren then Whitney's scary boss dressed all in black. Which is kind of sad for Kelly who built up People's Revolution to become one of the biggest PR firms in the fashion industry. Becky and I can't wait to see a show where Kelly is center stage. She's incredibly blunt, works really hard, and at the end of the day is a loving single mom to her 7 year old daughter Ava.
Any of you who already follow Becky's personal blog TheBubbReport know she provides hilarious weekly wrap ups of shows like Project Runway. As a fun little project the two of use have decided to join forces and provide our commentary of Kell on Earth. Since fashion and reality television are a bit of departure from the topics I usually write about here we'll post our commentary on TheBubbReport and I'll provide a link here to the post each week. I hope I can be as witty as Becky is when it comes to dishing about what I can only assume will become my new favorite show.
Kell on Earth premiers tonight on Bravo so check back tomorrow to see our commentary and join in on the conversation.
