what I have been up to..

 

Ahh.. it is so nice to be on this side of the installs that I had last week.  This was one of my favorites and I am excited to share it with you.  (Sorry I forgot my real camera just instagram and iphone pics for now.)  I hope you are looking forward to a relaxing weekend like I am, we are relaxing around the house and enjoying the sunshine today and then off to the Clippers game on Sunday to watch my little one cheer before the game.

 

Also, a BIG THANK YOU to Hinkley Lighting for including me in their 2013 catalog under Expert Advice!!  I was so thrilled to be included with the other amazing designers and experts!

flash back...

 

I spent the better part of the day on Tuesday looking for inspiration to get my point across.   Often times it is the picture that inspires me when I design but sometimes I search for the perfect photo to convey what I am trying to do.  This week it was difficult!!  I did however find A LOT of inspiration in an archived issue of Lonny Magazine from a while back.. These are just a few of my favorites- there  are definitely more in this issue.  I wish each and every magazine came with so much wonderful inspiration to it!

A little something...

 

It has been a busy week already and it shows no signs of slowing down..  I thought I would share a little bit of what I have been working on.  This is one of the two projects I am designing this week.  I am really loving it.

Hope you are having a wonderful week so far!

contrasts..

 

I find that contrast is so necessary in a space, it doesn't have to be as obvious as this, which I love, but it can be simple and textural as well.  This combination is beautiful and interesting, the antlers make it for me.

I hope your weekend is full of beautiful days- we are expecting another 80 degree day here in California before it cools again.  If you are visiting us from One Kings Lane- Welcome - we are happy you are here!

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!

Mix it up...

 

I adore these two dining rooms for their great sense of style.. so fun to mix it up don't you think.  I am not really a traditional person and I think that being able to use things that you truly love in this way is what makes a house a home.  Keeping it interesting is the point right?

Dramatic windows..

 

This old cement factory converted into a home and office is amazing!  The windows do me in.  So so beautiful with the trees behind.  Can you imagine waking up to that?

Are you looking forward to the weekend?  We have many many plans here and I hope to get a few moments to enjoy the warm weather and keep up on my reading!  

Look for a Valentine inspired giveaway here on the blog tomorrow and so many great things are coming for next week on the blog as well as many new things in the shop.

Finding inspiration at the LA mart... January

I truly enjoy going to market, no matter where you go it is very inspirational.  There are so many talented creative minds that work on the showrooms it is really a treat to see most of the time.  This past weekend we visited the LA Mart for the show and found some great new pieces and some really great displays.  

Two's and Tozai never disappoint!  This book display was amazing!

 

The Walls in this room were painted gold and were super cool.

 

Love the paper runner- great idea!

 

I think I need this even if I have no place for it, so sculptural and cool!

 

Our best seller the star pendant with mirror.. love!

 

This is my favorite chandelier and I have been desperately trying to find a special place for something like this.. I know that one day it will happen.

I am off to Las Vegas for the furniture show there today, wish me luck!
