I can not tell you how much I admire California designer
Rose Tarlow. I first met Rose when she shared her spectacular home on my show
"Homes Across America." She is one of our Design Icons and she continues to inspired us all with her superb design sense. She and
Luxe magazine hosted a lecture on design at the spectacular new showroom on Melrose Ave.
East Coast/ West Coast design influences was the topic,
during
La Cienega Design week. Seems like everyone in the Design community turned out for this event:
June & Scott Brown visiting from Oregon, ,
Michael Wollaeger, Editor at Large with Kelly Persellin of Luxe; Rocky LaFleur,
Barclay Buttera, my daughter
Meg who joined me for the day,
Peter Dunham, Marcie Bronkar...to name only a few. What a wonderful new home for Rose Tarlow.
Beth Brenner, Publisher of Traditional Home and her husband Bob; (far right) Jay and Ginnie Reardon; Jay is the President of Hickory Chair Company and one of the nicest, most accomplished men in the furniture business. 
Lovely designer Raji created a simply stylish Ladies Retreat.
Long time friends, Ann Maine, Editor-in-Chief of Traditional Home Magazine, Mario Buatta famed decorator, and Alexa Hampton, knew her father well.
Robert Stilin (above) and the other designers who participated seemed to address real homes and real living. I found the rooms understandable and liveable.
