IS: Beautiful

Last night ISD had the pleasure of attending the launch party for the incredibly beautiful de Gournay showroom in Pacific Heights. The lovely foliage draped entrance was just the beginning of what it felt like to be swept away into a wonderful enchanted garden. The flowing champagne, oysters on the half shell, and artisan chocolates were very befitting.

Exquisite hand painted and embroidered wallpapers, furnishings and porcelain, each de Gournay creation was a work of art. We're looking forward to the possibilities of mixing the old world with the new. Such incredibly vibrant hues of everything, wow! We are beyond inspired.

Happy Birthday Garland! An ALC Benefit

IS: Charitable

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of co-hosting the 40th birthday party and ALC Benefit for my dear friend Garland Godfrey. The AIDS/LifeCycle is a yearly, fully supported, 7-day bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money and awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

After donating to the ALC for years in support of his friends rides, Garland realized that he could raise more money through his own activism and participation than he could ever donate. With ride number eight on the horizon...he has raised close to $68,000.

Making art, as long as it is accessible, is a great benefit to the community. It feeds the cultural life of the community and enables individuals to engage and think creatively to benefit their own lives. IS: Fine Art and Design is happy to donate 25% of this weeks profit to the cause.

Thank you to everyone who came to support Garland and celebrate his Birthday. He is such a loving and caring person. We need more Garland in the world!

Gallery Hours:

Open: Tuesday ~ Saturday 10AM to 6PM Closed: Sunday ~ Monday

David Adler-designed homes harken to ‘Gatsby’ era grandeur

Whether haunting or romantic, there’s just something about David Adler’s 1920s architecture that has set the stage for many movies. Adler’s Instagram-worthy portfolio includes 43 houses in the Chicago area — many of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. If you want to take a look inside the work that defined Adler’s style, look no further than these private residences in Lake Bluff and Lake Forest, Ill.
