Design inspiration {the musket room}

 

Just a short time ago I came across a photo of the this beautiful space and just last night I came upon another, only this time it had some additional information..  The Musket Room in Manhattan is gorgeous!  I am so excited to use this space as inspiration for a new commercial space I am starting on.  It is amazing with the use of texture and light.  Perfectly perfect if I don't say so myself!

Happy Monday my friends!

Is it Spring yet?  I really could use the green and the flowers..  I know it is only January but I need it! Lately I have been coming across some great inspiration.. I love the solid blue above with the brick wall, perfect and simple.  Don't forget to take a little time to day dream today too!

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...

Stephen Gambrel's first restaurant design.. Cole's NYC

 

Stephen Gambrel has ventured into commercial design with Cole's Resturaunt in Greenwich Village, NYC and I love the outcome photographed here by Adrian Wilson.  The Grey and yellow make a wonderful statement in the space along with the vintage mix.

Their site discribes it best:  Inspired by the artistic scene of 1950�s Greenwich Village, Steven Gambrel designed the 94-seat space to evoke the decade that earned the neighborhood the romantic reputation it has to this day. Each one of the intimate rooms has its own distinct feel, incorporating retro and contemporary design elements. Burlap panels in the Dining Room are the backdrop for the art provided by charity partner ACRIA (AIDS Community Research Initiative of America) as well as pieces from Swet�s own collection, ranging from �50s-era sketches to �90s street art. The Caf�, situated between The Bottle Room and the Dining Room, is lined with wooden plank booths ideal for groups while The Bottle Room offers seating at the bar and high tables, and is lined with amber-toned panels reminiscent of the warm hues emanated from light hitting a whiskey bottle.

Gjelina, Venice

 

When I was in Venice last month I stopped in at gjelina on Abbott Kinney for a little lunch by myself.   Which is perfectly fun if you ask me.  I was a bit before the lunch rush and much of the restaurant was empty when I started taking photos inconspicuously with my phone.  I know it is bad but I like to take photos of things that make my imagination spin, and I was not sure if they would say yes.  

It is one of the best restaurant interiors I have seen in California lately, and I fell for the boho charm that was pouring from everywhere, even the wait staff had a little boho hippy vibe going on.  

 They have a great vintage mix of furnishings and details, with a lot of communal seating which reminds me of  my favorite restaurants in France.  

 

Usually a  restaurant with a great vibe will carry it all the way to the bath rooms.  Which they definitely did and they did it well.  I loved the little wheel to turn the water on and off mounted directly through the mirror.  Hello!

 

Super cool embossed wallpaper in the hall.

 

Not to mention that my lunch was amazing.  By the time I was finished the place was full and a little loud.  I left wanting to come back for more- with a friend even would be nice!

Good Food Center Street Anaheim

Yesterday morning we went to the small flea market in downtown Anaheim, there was not much for me at the flea market but I fell in love with the new shops in the area.  This little cafeteria style restaurant was one of the best local designs I have seen lately.  LOVED the doors and windows along with the tile detailing and furnishings.  A great concept and very well done.  There are 3 eateries in the space and then there is communal seating inside and out.   

 

It is a little hard to tell from the photos but the front of the building is curved which I love loved.

Need to make some of these for outside at our house!
