design daydream {restaurant design}

 

As a designer there is always something you would like to try your hand at, something that pulls at your creative strings..  right now mine is restaurant design.  I day dream about it and all of the fun creative things you could do.  Unique interesting conversation pieces that will make a space memorable along with the food and friends.  I love this space and the little details...

Equestrian details...

 

I have had several requests to share Equestrian style interiors and I came across this space in my wanderings... it is pretty much perfect!  Love the grey bookcases and storage mixed with the bright colors of the ribbons and boxes.  A little bit quirky/A little bit classic....

Grey in my kitchen

 

Our kitchen has been finished for just about a year now and we love love it.  I am so excited to be able to share some of the beautiful photos that Ashlee took for us while she was here.  The way she photographs is so so amazing!  Just the right feeling for my design style.

I am so excited to share the finished product with you first!

Grey in the garden..

 

The simple clean feeling in this garden is so alluring!   I am leaning towards this style for our garden in the front of the house.  The little rabbits are less likely to nibble on these drought tolerant guys too which is a huge plus!  Hopefully this year we can put that plan into action!

 

Also, don't miss out on our Tastemaker sale!

Designers at home.. life in flux

 

So sorry for the silence for the past few days... it has been a little wild here and this coming week is going to make last week look like a cake walk!  We finally had some photos taken, by a real professional, last week and I snapped a few myself which could never compare!  But the kitchen was styled and the house was clean so it is always a good idea to check and see what will be seen through the lens..  I was thinking about it though and I realized that I, like I am sure many designers, live in a constant state of change.  We are always changing this or that - a chair here- pillows everywhere - accessories like crazy!  (I really do feel bad for my husband but what can you do!)  So this is my still my first table and chairs since the remodel in the kitchen... something new is coming though.

How about you- are you a changer/exchanger throughout the house?

For those who asked the chairs can be found here/the table is custom. :)

Garden Inspiration from Arne Maynard..

 

Finding inspiration for the garden seems like it would not be difficult but I am not sure that I have found this much in just one place as of late.  I am deeply in love with the outdoor spaces that Arne Maynard has created and will be referring back to them often as I start to plant again here in our garden.  I think I may love everything I see.

Design Traveler: Si from French By Design

Bonjour, I am Si from the FrenchByDesign blog. France is my home country, so it�s only natural that when sweet Christina asked me to guest post in her �Design Traveler� series, I chose a bed and breakfast located in Southern France. Ready? Pack your bags, we�re heading to the beautiful Cathare country, a few miles away form the gorgeous village of Carcassonne. 

Welcome to Camellas-Lloret, a culmination of a love affair with France and a desire by a couple, Annie and Colin, to share it.

Located in Montr�al, a picturesque village, 15 minutes away from the gorgeous village of Carcassonne, and on the route of St Jacques de Compostelle, Camellas-Lloret is an 18th century family home fully renovated with two main focuses in mind: authenticity and comfort. Annie and Colin host this Maison d'H�te [BnB] with brio: from morning croissants and caf� au lait, to evening drinks on the terrace, they will make everything they can to make you feel at home. Bon voyage!
