Okay.. I am in "crush" I would say love but I'm still in the intense moment that preceeds true love and well... it's not with my husband, nor a man per say... it's with a "STYLE". Through the archives and design magazines I scour; I have been collecting tidbits here and there and unbeknownst to myself they have all been from one designer! I am serious... I
have a picture of a chair that I have taped to the back door at the shop & a pillow and a living room and a kitchen, all collected seperately and wow... they are all creations of Thomas O'Brian.

Yes! He is cute, but he is better than that! He transcends the "decorated feel" and creates true living spaces. 
Ones in which I would kick off my shoes, grab a book from the coffee table and puruse it while cuddling my children. I imagine my husband happily making us lunch in the supurbly outfitted kitchen that has no snobbery only a collection of the beautifully useful. side note... I am on mission to slowly (as finances allow) create this style of kitchen and well whole home.I wish for us all to live in spaces surrounded by couches that cuddle back, fabrics that feel like a caress, books who tell the lovliest stories and items that whisper memories. 
I think we should all be surround by that which we have collected over a lifetime of living. Items such as books, rocks, found shells, dishes and art which constantly remind us of where and with whom we've shared our moments. Yes I am flowery and sentimental today, but I truly admire spaces that don't feel too "Designed or decorated". I like things!... most would call them junk and the kinder people call them accessories but they fill my cupboards and when I bring them out they warm my soul.
I am sure that in this world us Toscana girls are not the only ones whom crave the creature comforts of life while surrounded by beauty. This man has created spaces that are in my absolute favorite pallette of white, cream and my passion Chocolate! Other spaces are layered in charcoal, black, and white completely Toscana girl Ulli! He has also blended the feel of modern style with traditional elements to a level that is beyond both looks yet still tangible and real. His storefront Aero, in SoHo New York, exudes high style carressed by a slight glimpse of a human soul.
