Texture and light

 

What is there not to love about a sweet home in the snow...  I love the raw texture and the beaming in these spaces with the clean white paint.  A wonderful backdrop for just about anything.

Distressed wood walls...

 

Good Monday morning friends....  it is beautiful out today and I hope that you are enjoying it!

I know this is a simple thing but I adore this wall and the little swing arm light!  The wall treatement is what really gets me.  I love the distressed wood walls they give a space a sense of history where there may have been none.  We used one in our cabana out by the pool and I love love it.  We had our family photos taken out there and I cannot wait to share with you!  It looks so cool!

Anyway- busy day ahead and just wanted to wish you a good morning and a good week!  The holidays are about to take us over so I am squeezing out the last bits of quite time and enjoying every single minute!  

Also, a quick Happy Birthday to my Mom!  xoxo

weekend wishes....

 

It's the weekend again!!!  Aren't you excited?  I cannot wait to take it a little easier and get to my fall cleaning.. I know it is similar to spring cleaning but I really feel the need to simplify and complete projects right now.  Maybe it is mental preparation for the upcoming holidays, I am not sure, but I want to clean everything out and eliminate the excess in my life.  

A few things that are inspiring me this week...

I found this while looking for a piece for a client and I need 2 for my bedroom!

We all may need new dishes this year - yes?

Perfect picnic salad

I keep moving these around the house while I decorate for fall..

Are you ready to go back to Paris yet.. I am... this time just to relax and take photos of everything I see!

Also, don't miss your chance to win a copy of the new Vintage by Nina book!

Palm Springs inspiration.

 

Yesterday I took a quick trip out to Palm Springs to look at a property that I will be working on.  I can honestly say that even though it is just over an hour away from me I have only been to Palm Springs a handful of times.  I am not sure why exactly why that is but I think I might be visiting a little more often, not just for work.  

Once I arrived back at the office I wanted to keep the inspiration going so I pulled some ideas for the exteriors and interiors... here is what I was thinking... natural wood horizontal fencing, dark stained or painted paneled doors, vein cut marble floors, slab counter tops, wall hung cabinets and mod lighting.  I love getting excited about work!

Casual Lux..

 

As the days grow warmer and longer and we start to dip our toes into summer I long for clean casual luxuries..  Fresh greenery, fresh from the farmers market fruits and berries, time worn linens and a mix of old and new.  It gives me a feeling of freedom and getting lost in the days where our schedule is less restricting and scheduled.

Looking forward to beach days, pool days, lazy reading days and little spritzings of work in between the fun with family and friends.

Happy Summer!

Simply stunning in dark wood..

 This is such a wonderful use of naturally dark stained wood in heavy doses.  I love it.  It feels like a comfortable home that I would love to visit!  

Simple and clean with just that bit of detail is perfection..

Wishing you a wonderful Monday my friends!

Wine bottles...

 

I have a soft spot for the re-purposed  wine jugs.  They are usually such a great natural shape.  I simply adore them with a little grouping of tree branches or full tropical leaves, the perfect accent.

clean slate..

 

Oh my goodness are we really moving on this new year thing.  Without a moments rest we will be having a photo shoot with One Kings Lane today and then in a dead run to complete some projects for February.  I am looking forward to redesigning the shop and the portfolio site for a fresh new face for 2013 too.  I did take a little time late on Saturday night to catch up on some blog reading and I noticed some very inspiring New Year Resolution lists out there, I feel as if I should make a formal one for myself, how about you did you make a list?

What have you been up to in this new year?

 

Vintage reinvented...

 

Umm.. I am in love with this- what a fun update to a beautiful piece.  So modern and vintage at the same time.  So what are you up to this Sunday?  My sister and I will be hitting the flea market and then it is off to the Cleopatra exhibit in LA.  So excited!

check out the details on this bed makeover here.

 

a quick hello...

 

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!  We are trying to get it back together here, catch up with reality and take some time to enjoy ourselves.  This year has been an amazing ride and I realized this morning how very many places we have been and how much we have accomplished.  I am excited for the New Year and looking forward to sharing it with all of you!  Thank you for everything, for every comment and every email I truly appreciate your support and encouragement here on the blog and in my businesses!

Texture and Lignt..

 

Is this not an amazing space?  I love the texture of the brick with the curved lines over the windows.  Such a wonderful detail.  The fresh clean lines of the furnishings are a great way to offset the rustic ceiling in the space.
