Grey and natural in the kitchen..

 

I thought it might be nice to ease into the weekend with a beautiful kitchen image.  I love the softness of the cabinetry and the contrast of the natural wood- um and the floor is fabulous!

Have an amazing Friday...

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!

Natural beauty

 

I love that depth can be created with texture and interesting objects.  This is a perfect example and I love that marble cocktail table.  Eclectic and simple at the same time.

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!

Dramatic dining..

 

I love the simple drama of this space.  The blank chalk board makes such a contrast from what we might normally see when they are used in decor.  The chairs and the chandelier are by far my favorite part of the otherwise simple space.

Cozy Nook...

 

I love a little place to relax and enjoy and isn't this just perfection.  I love the style of the cushions, which I am totally coping for our poolside cabana this summer.  That little touch of color is perfect and the light is just right.

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!

Unique

 

I know I was going to post about our trip to LA today but the schedule just did not allow.  So I am sharing this amazing bar photo.  I love the unique construction of this piece, it is so very unique!  Lately it is harder and harder to come by really unique inpiration images and this one is just dreamy to me.

You can see more of the space here.

Also, congratulations to Andrea at The French Basketeer on winning the Nathan Turner book giveaway!

 

   

beach time.. San Clemente, Ca

 

I made a little promise to myself for this year, well several actually, but this one involves you my lovely readers... I wanted to include more original content here on the blog.  I have a deep love for photography and I used to spend a lot of time taking photos, but had really abandoned it last year in the hurried life I was leading.  I promised myself that I would pick up my "big" camera and use it, really use it, try to capture more of my life in photos, my work in photos and all of the things that I want to share with you.  I found that through my love affair with instgram, that what I love most is manipulating the photos I take and the artistic part of changing them to how I want them to feel.  I hope you don't mind, it is just time to evolve a little here.  

I am hoping that it will also give us a chance to see a little more of California, as in get me out of the office a little more to inspire me creativity.  Besides who doesn't love the beach in the middle of January!

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.

tucked in..

 

This tucked in look gets me every time.  I am not sure if it is because it seems like such an organized idea or what.  I love the waist stools too, along with the pair of lamps.  My entry is a little smaller than this but it could be done.  What about you, do you have a large entry?  Do you use it or is it just a welcoming stage?
