What has just happened? How a week off turned into 3-month break? Let’s trace back a little..
WOW!…Now that we’ve finally caught up I’m back with my regular daily posts. And I have a LOT to share, so stay tuned. I really missed you guys!
All of the new Hicks‘ work couldn’t fit into a single post so I decided to follow up with the coverage of this hospitality and commercial work. What an attention to details! Indulge.

When I started my blog back in October 2009, the thought of the 100th post was so far our of reach. Not knowing how to start, I just wanted to capture my musings and inspirations one day at a time and idea of somebody’s reading/following my scribbles was unimaginable.
Here I am at my 100th post, my first milestone, and I can proudly say I’m here to stay. Researching and writing has become a habit, and seeing everything as another post topic has made my life that much more exciting and adventurous. Now I can’t be just lazy…I HAVE to see that new exhibition, I HAVE to visit that showroom opening, I HAVE to be there and participate… because I owe it to my blog and you, my readers.
Starting from 75 visits my first month (most of which, I’m sure, were my supportive husband) I’ve come to 1,146 (and counting) this month. Quite a shocking number for me personally. So thank you everyone who’s along for a ride. Your feed back is very important to me, in fact, I always scream in excitement when I see your comments.
Let’s go for another hundred…
Can you imagine being an interior designer and having the name David Hicks. How hard might it be? No pressure, right? While browsing through archives of our well-known David Hicks, the trend setter in the design world from the 70s, I came across another David Hicks, the contemporary one.
An Australian interior designer, David Hicks brings a different set of cards to the table as his interiors are rather subdued comparing to the works of the older Hicks. Monochrome, strong, handsome and incredibly sleek without being unlivable and hostile. And still you can trace the heritage of the master in the eclecticism of the furniture pieces as well as accessories. Another proof that 20th-century classics never look outdated while providing warmth and character to the space.

Jeez, I totally forgot to tell all of you guys about the incredible art exhibition in Westwood. Persian-American artist Kamran Khavarani presents his abstract romanticism works inspired by the Persian mystic, Rumi. The exhibit closes June 17 but it definitely is worth stopping by. The intensity of colors and the unique painting techniques are something to amaze at and abstract visuals will make you ponder. If you miss it, at lease browse through his website for the full collection of works. So inspiring.
To visit: Private Gallery 1020 Westwood Boulevard in Los Angeles
