this entry wall elevation popped up on my FB page from 9 years ago. the project never materialized, but it's nice to know 9 years later, i wouldn't change a thing. randomly blocked pewter teapaper wall, lucite and waxed linen console and nickel floating framed mirror. coulda been chic.😕#maison21 #interiordesign #christianmay #losangeles #interiors #interior #design #moderndesign #moderndecor #interiordecor #interiorinspo #elevation

#tbt there is a great article in the new yorker this week about #hgtv. i suggest y'all read it. in the meantime, here's a home i designed a while back for an episode of #househuntersrenovation, where yes, in typical hgtv fashion i made a homeowner's dream of open plan living come true!🤣🤣🤣someday, when i launch my new website and blog, i'll tell you all about the adventure since my planned publicity around the episode never happened as i was fresh out the the hospital when it aired, and had vey limited use of my hands. it was an experience i'm glad i participated in, but boy was it stressful. the results are nice though, and the homeowners got an instant equity bump, so all's well that ends well. #maison21 #interiordesign #interiors #christianmay #losangeles 📷@tessanuestadt, styling by #jamesbender.

after almost 2 years, i finally moved my rehab bed out of my dining room (with the help of a good friend). the bed stayed because of a) inertia and b) i've had so many setbacks since my spine surgery that i was scared perhaps i would need it again if i had trouble getting up and down the stairs. time to let that go! no more setbacks! i sold my dining chairs to a client a loooong time ago, and since i doubt hosting dinners is in my future anytime soon, i'm enjoying the spaciousness of my tiny dining room without them. gives doris and i a place to play ball too! 🐶🎾#spinalcordinjury #rehab #design #art #interior #interiors #interiordesign #maison21 #losangeles

new maison21 interior design website coming soon!

i've started working on a new website, and who knows, someday i might even blog again. feel free to enter your email to get an update if i do. don't worry about spam- post-surgery me will never have the manual dexterity to write a weekly news letter or anything crazy like that! in the meantime, as usual, follow me on instagram for cute pictures of my pets. twitter is all politics, and i'm not accepting new FB friend requests right now, though feel free to like my maison21 FB page. posts there are mostly my IG feed, with the occasional panda video or real estate listing, so something for everyone!

i'm slowly making my way back into the real world and hope to be interacting with y'all soon.

ps- i hope all my imaginary internets friends (YOU) are well! xoxoxo!
