I especially like to layer stripes! This is a def. a look you'd catch me wearing. A faux fur vest + stripes = Yes! |

Love this quote I read this morning (yes I was up at 4:40 am for some reason) "Custom throw pillows are a touch of couture" - Jamie Drake.
I couldn't agree more! They make a huge difference on projects! Here's a peek at some pretties!
custom pillows and linens! Love this bedding |

california cool
Stylistically my tastes are sort of all over the place. This mind set affects both my wardrobe and my home selections. I tend to stay very focused while creating and devising concepts for my clients. I of course throw their designs off a bit with unexpected patterns and textures and my client's actually appreciate being pushed out of their comfort zone a little. (key word being "little") but for myself, I like to experiment. One day I may feel a little Boston preppy, the next coastal chic, the next slightly bohemian. I think the strongest designs blend a few styles seamlessly. Today I'm feeling California Cool. I read this weekend that January 23rd is supposedly the most depressing day of the year. I'm not sure if that's true or not but the rainy, raw weather, certainly doesn't help. No complaints here, I'll take this winter over last year any day!!
Today I'm drawn to fresh, warm, colorful styles, that use both modern and classic elements. The two homes below are from CA home + design magazine. The first space is by designer Vanessa De Vargas

Room of the week 1.18
Looking back at my posts, I seem to be blogging about bright, cheerful visual subjects. I can probably thank old man winter for that. It's sort of an intrinsic quality of blogging, your posts tend to reflect your mind set. I need to focus on up beat, colorful images when the days are chilly and gray. I love the quality of light in this space. The room is fairly clean and simple. I also like the mix of what feel like vintage pieces of furniture with the modern fabrics, Manuel Canovas wallpaper and Ikea (I'm not sure if this one is still available) light fixture. I'm also currently loving light pickled floors.

Loving..
How amazing is this watercolor? I may need to commission a piece myself someday! |
I was searching for artwork for a teenage girl's room I'm finishing up and happened upon artist Caitlin McGauley's work. Her bright, colorful but chic style beautifully captures her subjects. Caitlin is available for custom commissions but also sells prints on her website. I love her images for Kate Spade and Tory Burch. I may be using one of her paintings as inspiration for a new project I'm beginning work on. I just never know what will get my mind racing with ideas... |
