Feeling fancy...

 

So have you had your house or your work photographed - professionally?  I am sure many of you have.. I have not aside from commercial projects that I work on.  This week my favorite photographer.. Ashlee is coming to take our family photos at the house and to snap some pics of my remodeled kitchen.  Some real photos that I can use and share, this is a big step for me as I know I have been holding out on all of you for almost a year about how the kitchen project turned out.  Personally - I love love it - I hope you do to! I promise to share once they come in!

I would love to hear your experiences with having your projects and/or home photographed.  I know it is a pretty personal thing as we all interpret our design differently.

oh and don't forget to get your entry in for the Vintage by Nina book giveaway!  We have another book giveaway coming later this week!

Beyond Chic {design library}

 

I love a good design book as we all know, but this one is so unique.  Beyond Chic is full of the amazing homes of Fashion's most creative minds!  I love the layering and collected feeling of the spaces.  It is always so interesting to see what inspires people so much that they fill their private spaces with it, don't you think? 

"Some of the most important people in fashion�Chanel, Ala�a, Yves Saint Laurent, Pucci, Kenzo, and Missoni�are known for their public image and their iconic designs. But what kind of world have they cultivated behind closed doors? From France to Italy, from England to Morocco, come along on a private visit to the remarkable homes of couturiers, stylists, muses, and fashion personalities. Photographer Ivan Terestchenko shows the d�cor, works of art, and the personal collections of these legendary designers. Some interiors, such as Chanel�s apartment at 31 rue Cambon, are mythic, while others like those of Giorgio Armani�s ch�let or Vanessa Seward, Azzaro�s head designer, are completely unconventional. From minimal (Nicole Farhi) to exotic (Franca Sozanni), to a deceptively simple French apartment (Loulou de La Falaise), this book explores the spaces and places created by some of fashion�s biggest names."

Sherwin Williams 2014 Color Forecast...

 

 I am always on the search for beautiful paint colors to compliment my work and it can be really difficult to commit to just one.  Having a variety of greys and greige colors on hand while I design is so important because just the slightest variation can make such a difference in the overall feel of a space.  I was so excited to partner with Sherwin Williams to bring you their  2014 Color Forecast, and I am even more excited to share with you the idea board that I came up with based on their Reasoned Pallet. 

 This is just one of the new color pallets that they have in addition to all of their other amazing colors I use regularly from them.  It is a perfect grouping of of greys, light to dark, to mix and match inside or out.  I am scheming to see where I can use the dark rich feeling of the Tricorn Black in an upcoming project, love love it.  A few of my favorites are below.  Stop on over to see the entire collection!

Jenny Andrews-Anderson artwork..

 

I have a thing for art.. all mediums and so many different styles.  I fell for Jenny's art over the summer and the feeling continues on today!  I love her pieces because they seem so alive and would bring a space to life so easily.  Bold beautiful colors mixed perfectly.  There are 2 pieces in my office that I need to frame and hang still and I cannot wait!  Check out some of her other pieces and grab one for yourself - you will love it...

dining room inspiration: casual lux

 

It has been a little while since I shared a lifestyle board with you.  This is for a client I am working with on her kitchen and dining remodel locally.  I am excited to see how it all comes out as she is still under construction and we are working hard to find the right fit for her dining room pieces.

I love the casual but lux feeling to the space that these pieces create.

Las Vegas Market Summer 2013

 

We spend Monday running through the Las Vegas Market.  I am so excited that the vendors have returned to the market this year with a wonderful amount of creativity and beautiful new product!  We found some great new pieces and vendors that I am so excited to share with you online and with my clients.  The displays were so inspiring I came back ready to design with everything.

 

Visual comfort was there for the first time. LOVE everything!

 Four Hands had a great new grouping of sofas..

 

There were flowers displayed everywhere.  If you did not come away with some great party inspiration I would be so surprised!

 

Gorgeous guileded lighting and mirrors..

 

Noir was wonderful as always!

 

Fun displays of reproduction vintage items.

 

My favorite art company was there!

 

I want this chaise piece- it is perfect and I love the fabric of course.

 

Jaipur for rugs..

 

I was excited to see Cisco Brothers in Vegas!  I love everything that they do and everything is made locally in Los Angeles so that makes it even better!

 

Art and details were what we were ordering though. I love this piece!

 

I almost died when I found these lights... amazing!

 

Tara Shaw mixing vintage and modern so well!  As well as the beautiful art of Christopher Marley at Pheromone.

 

At the end of the very busy day they served dinner and desert outside.  With music and entertainment going strong we rushed to catch our plane, next year we will plan a couple of days there now that the vendors have returned.
