Happy Saint Patrick’s Day from Colleen Mauer Designs! We’re spending this sunshine-filled California day celebrating all things lucky: especially those of the gold variety. While we think every day is the perfect time to drape ourselves in golden layers, it seems especially fitting to highlight this lucky metal on March 17. Just don’t forget to […]

One of the beautiful things about rose gold is its effortless versatility. In the spirit of mixing metals (one of our very favorite things), we must mention how we love wearing rose gold alongside other finishes. Combined with matte silver, both metals play off one another for a whimsical, romantic vibe. Paired with something bolder, […]

Every four years the calendar bestows an extra day upon us, and today just happens to be it. We’re all about soaking up these bonus 24 hours, so we’ve turned to the blog to plan our dream day. First we’d start with our favorite coffee, followed by a bit of city exploring. Squeezing in a walk […]

The creative process is an special experience, no matter what the medium. The way a creator arrives at the finish line, final product complete, is a wild, windy road that’s hard to explain. My love and passion for design is instinctive, and part of the reason I adore our showroom on Valencia is because clients shopping […]
