… or at least the best bathroom in America in 2009, according to the astute and discerning people at Professional Builder Magazine. DMA was awarded the “Best in American Living” Platinum Design Award for Best Residential Master Bath Design 2009.

We’ve been selected to participate in this year’s San Francisco Decorator Showcase! Needless to say, we’re really excited and can’t wait to unveil our fantastic design, Modernism Talks Back, to the world at large. By the time we’re finished, we’ll have transformed a traditional and rather lack-luster bathroom into a space that proves that modern design doesn’t have to be serious or severe. Stay tuned to track our progress as we race against impending deadlines, resolve decorating emergencies and coordinate the work of all of our friends in the trades who will help this room come to life.
The tradition of Monday lunches started when Michelle and I were tired of making meals just for one. To make our lives easier, we decided to cook larger meals and trade off with anyone in the office who wanted to join in on the fun. Of course, everyone jumped on board and since then we have been successfully making and enjoying Monday lunches.
Lets be honest, some worked out, while others didn’t. It figures that when we decided to do this blog the launch date landed on my lunch week, so I had to step it up. No more last minute buying burgers or using frozen turkey meatballs which end up tasting like rubber. So for this
wonderful and tasty meal, I took my inspiration from my
recent trip to Australia where at every restaurant there was
pumpkin risotto on the menu. The salad and dessert are
personal favorites of mine, which pair nicely with the risotto
and look impressive in a photograph.
To Start : Pear & Goat Cheese Salad with Champagne Vinaigrette
Main Course: Pumpkin Risotto with Goat Cheese
Dessert: Molten Lava Cakes
Carrying over a tradition from earlier in his career and always looking for a reason to throw a party, Gregg rallied the troops and reinstituted the Holiday Gingerbread Extravaganza given for the kids who reside at Edgewood Children’s Home. With our superior project management abilities and propensity to decorate anything that isn’t moving, we spring into action every October to ensure that no detail is left unchecked. Transforming ourselves into Santa’s elves, we construct many, many (about 40) gingerbread houses, recruit generous volunteers, provide every type of candy under the sun and let the kids loose to create their own vision of what a cookie house should look like. While it’s something we truly enjoy putting together,we get the most pleasure hearing that our little decorating
party is something the kids look forward to every year.
