A Salty Aftertaste

Cascabel’s trendy tequila has got salt on my brain! Opaque, transparent, metallic, red, purple, green, yellow, black or blue, these frisky ionic compounds are wild to study.  Because salt is created through the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base, it can be sweet, sour, and bitter…interesting, huh?  It’s used for industrial purposes also, like … Read more

Not photographed yet by anything other than my phone, MSM just finished a beautiful renovation in Manhattan.  The owner was set on using modern furniture he had from another home but had a few sentimental pieces he wanted to mix in.   We placed his grandfather’s footstool, complete with needlepoint done by his mother, in his … Read more

Ireland

On a recent trip to Ireland for a client I came across an antique shop that had a terrific selection of slipper chairs. I often add a slipper chair to a room as a charming way of having extra seating and playing with scale. There was also a great magazine stand that doubled as a … Read more

Check Out MSM Handiwork for Hotel Oceana Santa Barbara on Blik website

Blik wall appliqués are wonderful for residential and commercial spaces. They can be easily applied, don’t cause a mess, and are perfect for the “commitment-phobic” as they are not as permanent as graphic paint designs or wallpaper. One of our hotel renovations is featured on the Blik website. Here you can see photos of the … Read more
