Cafe Sydney - This is where Jordan Cappella would really like to be today!

2011-05-27T15:49:00.000-07:00

With its spectacular harbour backdrop taking in the life and majesty of Circular Quay to its wonderful ambience, quality of service and consistent standard of cuisine, Cafe Sydney is acknowledged as one of the centrepieces of Sydney dining.
One of the secrets of Cafe Sydney’s’ success has been the nurturing of strong working relationships with suppliers. With their help, the kitchen team serves up the flavours most associated with the harbour city: chilled crustaceans, oysters freshly shucked to order, grilled ocean fish and quality cuts of meat.
Now celebrating its 12th year, the restaurant has become a hub for corporate clientele during the week or international visitors and celebrities wanting top notch Australian cuisine in glorious surroundings for lunch or dinner. At weekends, the atmosphere changes with Sundays a cause of celebrations as musicians play laid back music from jazz to classical conducive to sun-drenched dining.

Love!!!!

The Elephant Caves Bali - GOA GAJAH (I loved this place so much)

2011-04-11T05:41:00.000-07:00

Goa Gajah (elephant cave) a frequently-visited historical site in Bali that contains significant meaning for Balinese Hindus.

Situated in Bedulu Village, Gianyar, Goa Gajah is believed to have been carved from a hillside as a monastery in the 11th century, though it wasn't rediscovered until 1923. The name of this cave is probably taken from the nearby Petanu River, which at one time was known as Elephant River, or possibly because the entrance to the cave resembles an elephant. It is used by the Balinese as a holy place for worshipping the God Shiva and his elephant-headed son Ganesha.

Buddha statues and fertility symbols can be found inside the cave, suggesting that it had a long history of religious use. Today, it is a cool, dark place to contemplate Bali's distant past.

The origins of the cave are uncertain. One tale relates that it was created by the fingernail of the legendary giant of Kebo Iwo. It probably dates at least to the 11th century, and it was certainly in existence at the time of the Majapahit takeover of Bali. The cave was rediscovered by Dutch archeologists in 1923, but the fountains and bathing pools were not unearthed until 1954.

Inside the T-shaped cave you can see fragmentary remains of Lingam, the phallic symbol of the Hindu God Shiva, and its female counterpart the Yoni, plus a statue of Shiva's son, the elephant headed God Ganesha. In the counter yard in front of the cave are two square bathing pools with water gushing into them from waterspouts held by six female figures. To the left of the cave entrance, in a small pavilion, is a statue of Hariti, surrounded by children.

Potato Head - Where all the Pretty People go in Bali!

2011-04-09T21:59:00.000-07:00

Potato Head is a sophisticated twist on the typical bistro and bar around the globe set in a unique original design complemented by a different interpretation of authentic bistro cuisines and a cocktail list that have set a totally new standard of drinking culture in Bali. Potato Head Club located on the beach in Seminyak, ushers in a new era with an internationally recognized venue.

That being said.......... if you want to be with the pretty people this is the place to go (I snuck in).....Think a Schrager property. And don't forget you swimming costume, you wont be able to resist a dip in the stunning infinity pool!

My favorite part of course a design feature..........the entire exterior wall is made from vintage shutters!

The Red Cross Red Tie Affair Gala Santa Monica, CA

2011-04-07T07:30:00.000-07:00

The Santa Monica Red Cross will hold its biggest fundraiser of the year, the Red Tie Affair gala, on April 9, 2011, at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica.

Betty White

Josh Duhamel & Fergie

Jordan Cappella Created an exclusive candle scent for Red Cross to be launched at the Red TieAffair

The one and only actress and comedienne Betty White will be the 2011 recipient of the National American Red Cross “Crystal Cross Award” for her outstanding contributions to animal welfare efforts. She is well-known for her warm heart, and loving and generous dedication to animals. Through her career Betty has been an inspiration to many people, including all of us at the Red Cross, and we are genuinely thrilled to honor her with this prestigious Red Cross award.

Josh Duhamel, Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet member, star of the “Transformers Trilogy” and hit movie “Life as We Know It”, will also be honored with a “Crystal Cross Award” for humanitarianism. Duhamel helped raise funds for Red Cross Haiti Relief by leading a “Youth Run for Haiti” on Santa Monica Beach. The run enabled more than three thousand compassionate young people to become involved in helping the citizens of Haiti through their fundraising efforts. Recently, Duhamel also helped raise funds for Red Cross Japan Relief by leading a “Youth Run for Japan”.

So proud to be a part of this.

Nate Lowman - Art available now at Exhibition a gallery

2011-02-28T10:56:00.000-08:00

I am loving Artist Nate Lowman's (boyfriend to one of the Olsen twins) print on paper "Paper Airlplane" available on line at Exhibition a gallery. - Paper Airplane depicts the urban legend where a folded $20 bill origami-ed just so, creates an image of the twin towers exploding. This painting is a contemporary deconstructionist's field day: the nexus of finance and terrorism, Warhol's penchant for disaster depiction, the American government's suggestion we shop our way out of the tragedy, and our country's obsession with conspiracies big and small.

Available in two sizes 10 x 12 @ $200.00 and 20 x 24 @ $400.00

Having lived in NYC when the towers went down, I feel a personal connection to this piece.

Enjoy,
Jordan

Tiger Palpatja - Aboriginal Artist.

2011-01-10T11:20:00.000-08:00

PLENTY FOOD
TIGER

On my last trip to Australia, I spent many hours researching and educating myself on different Aboriginal Artist, while i found many that I loved the Artist that most struck me is - Tiger Papatja - Born c 1920 this Amata elder is an important traditional healer who worked for many years as a shearer and farm hand. His remarkable career as an artist has only been recent and his strong knowledge of culture makes a potent mix with his dynamic images.

In his review of the 2006 Desert Mob exhibition in The Australian (September 11) leading journalist Nicholas Rothwell noted in reference to Tiger and his colleague Hector Burton that 'their canvases have a rough, vivid quality that sometimes calls to mind the earliest days of the painting movement, when Geoffrey Bardon was at Papunya, three decades ago."

Tiger's work has been acquired by the Flinders University Museum, National Gallery of Victoria and the National Gallery of Australia .In 2005 and 2006 he was a finalist in the NATSIAA (Telstra Art Award). He has had successful solo exhibitions in Sydney, Melbourne ,Perth and Singapore.

Tiger is also featured in McCulloch's contemporary Aboriginal Art the complete guide on page 124.

Tiger's work is more important given that he only started to paint in 2004.

Shanti Mission Harmony Centres

2010-12-18T13:12:00.000-08:00

Guru Shakti Durga
Lalita Sestito - My favorite healing and meditation teacher

If you are feeling lost, low in energy or just want to share abundance and joy with others. Then stop by the Shanti Mission Harmony Centres. After being introduced to the centre by my Mum, I spent 4 wonderful weeks enjoying meditation and healing at the Sydney location.

The Shanti Mission Harmony Centres are schools for the soul which means that they are centres of study in respect of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual good health.

The primary role of The Harmony Centre is to teach and demonstrate the role of our spirit in creating good health. Through understanding that we have to look after our spirit as well as our physical body, we can lead healthier, happier and more peaceful lives and often make astounding recovery from acute and chronic health problems and serious, stressful life events.

The concept that we have an energy field is now widely discussed but not yet universally understood despite growing research and anecdotal evidence of its role in wellness. Pain (physical as well as mental) as well as stress are held in our energy field, and we help people learn how to remove or minimize it.

Ignite Your Spirit therapy, an energetic healing modality (recognized and accredited by the Energetic healers Association of Australia and the International Association of Complementary Therapy) is taught and practiced at The Harmony Centres.

At the Harmony Centres there is always a (free) cup of tea and like minded people to talk to and to share experiences. People are able to explore their studies and their spirituality in a safe environment. We are multi-faith: Everyone is welcome and respected. People from all backgrounds come together to learn and practice ways to bring more joy, peace, well being and grace into their lives.

Through our seminars we educate the public about the benefits of meditation, energetic (light and sound) healing, and mental well being. The wonderful results we obtain in classes and healings at our Harmony centres is giving people hope and happiness, and a greater sense of personal empowerment.

The training programs are offered to the public by donation.

Check out the website for a location near you.

Jordan

Inspiration for my dining area

2010-08-26T20:13:00.000-07:00

What a fun day i had with my good friend Interior Designer Vanessa De Vargas, we were designing my dining area. I have attached an inspiration board.

I already have the Nina Campbell wallpaper $10.00 a roll from the last Designer Tag sale, You really would not believe the deals, and should make it to the next one if you like to shop for home decor. The Tulip dining table was picked up this week from out of the closet in Weho for $50.00, sisal rug $99.00 from Ikea, 80's chairs were $15.00 a piece from another charity store. Just bought the blue/natural zig zag fabric today (the last 6 yards for $10.00 a yard from a fabric store downtown) for the 80's chairs. The stunning vintage bamboo cabinet is on loan from My friend Alona the owner of Capri restaurant on Abott kinney Blvd, and is for sale $1200.00

Next week will search for the burlap window treatments and a light fixture.

Will keep you updated on the progress.

KELLY LAPLANTE LAUNCHING "STANDARD" ONLINE MAGAZINE!

2010-06-11T11:28:00.000-07:00

The fabulous Kelly Leplante is launching an online magazine This September. EVERYTHING in the magazine will be eco friendly or Green but neither of these words will be said. In Kelly's own words. The idea for Standard came, quite naturally, from the mantra I have been repeating for years: “green is a standard, not a style.”

Read more of what Kelly has to say below.

After almost a year of scheming and dreaming I am proud to announce that my new periodical publication, Standard Magazine, will debut online this September. The cutting below is a tiny portion of our fall cover, illustrated by Dallas Shaw. Journalism runs through my blood like a mint julep through a silver straw so this move into the world of publishing was probably predestined on some cosmic level. Over the years of penning this blog and my 2008 book écologique, I’ve realized how much power there is in the written word and how much I can continue to effect a positive change in the design industry by regularly putting forth something beautiful and inspirational.
The idea for Standard came, quite naturally, from the mantra I have been repeating for years: “green is a standard, not a style.” After more than a decade of pushing my industry toward sustainability I’ve decided that the time has come to really treat green like a standard—and that means not making a big deal about it anymore.
So that is what we are going to do at Standard. We will only ever feature sustainable products and design but we will not be giving out brownie points (or even mentioning) things that should just be status quo. You won’t see the words “recycled content” or “FSC Certified” but you can be assured that we are presenting you with the cream of the eco-crop on every page of every issue. That is just our Standard.
As you may imagine, this changes things for me as well. While I will continue to practice green design, I am no longer calling myself a “green designer” because, if I am not going to give anyone else brownie points for doing the right thing, then I’m not going to give them to myself either. The adventures will change too, and I look forward to sharing all of the ups and downs with you, here on my blog.
Now, I hope that you will go right on over to check out the Standard website and read our pre-launch blog where you can meet the contributors, see some sneak-peaks of the fall issue, view some great design and become a registered reader. (You can also “like” us on facebook, of course.)

I can't wait!

With Jonas Samson's high-tech light emitting wallpaper its possible to use a two dimensional flat surface as a light source instead of a 3D object. When the wallpaper is turned off, it is indistinguishable as a source of light and looks like regular wallpaper.

I love this for a club wall or my friend Carl Anderson's salon in Sydney the nailzoo

I will also be working in the Boutique on Wednesdays and Fridays feel free to call to make an appointment any other day.

LOJA DESIGNS - has been established on Abbot Kinney for the past 10 years. They design and manufacture, sofas, beds, side tables......... if you can imagine it Loja can create it. Feel good about purchasing from LOJA designs as everything is made locally in California. They also accommodate any Eco friendly request 310.450.6940

TURQUOISE - As most of you already know this is Interior Designer Vanessa De Vargas's showroom, launched just over a year ago which carries fabulous vintage furniture from the 50's, 60's, 70's and I have also noticed some fab 80's pieces on her showroom floor. Most pieces have been revived. 310.314.2010

JORDAN CAPPELLA 310.625.0822

Having both Vintage and Modern under the one roof is a great representation of what is happening in the design world at the moment.

Please forward this information on to all your friends, if you are in the area stop by and say hello.
