15 Major Interior Design Trends for 2023 "Design trends during the 2010s tended to veer toward minimalism, so that spaces often showcased clean lines and pared-down decor that was often impersonal. Now, the pendulum is swinging in the other direction. People today are embracing personality, eccentricity, and maximalist joy from their homes. You'll be glad to know that 2023's interior design trends will put you at the center." Courtesy of the Chicago Tribune

Local Happenings

March 19th LA Marathon "Kicking off at Dodger Stadium, this annual parade of physical endurance and community spirit winds its way through 26.2 miles of L.A., and usually would wrap up in Santa Monica—though this year’s route again loops back around West L.A. and toward Century City. More than 25,000 runners will participate, and even if you aren’t one of them, being a spectator can be an exhilarating experience as well." Courtesy of TimeOut

now at hollyhock house Entanglements: Louise Bonnet and Adam Silverman at Hollyhock House "The century-old Frank Lloyd Wright structure has been adorned with paintings and drawings by Louise Bonnet and ceramics by Adam Silverman. Silverman’s ceramics, like conical pieces by the fireplace made with ash from nearby olive trees, and Bonnet’s paintings, which draw your eye down the house’s various hallways, respond to each other’s work as well as the original bones of Wright’s design."
