Yesterday I had a chance to go up to Venice (I have lived in California all my life and never been to Venice, Ca.  I have been to Venice, Italy though - weird huh) to meet with Susan from H. Bleu.  Susan is creating a custom wall treatment or art piece for me in a project that I am working on, I am so excited!  Her shop was so fun and creative, she is super talented and has a love for all things vintage.   We had a chance to chat, which is my favorite thing to do with creative people, I could go on for hours.  Susan was also nice enough to direct me to a cute neighborhood where I could get some lunch and shop.... more on that coming next week.

This is the style of the piece she is making for me - I cannot wait to see mine in the space!  One of my favorite things about design is being able to work with people who can make what is in my head part of real life.  There are so many talented artists and designers out there and I so enjoy a collaboration like this.

Visit H. Bleu here to see more about Susan and The Shop!

I came  across this gorgeous space and had to share.  Love love the garland and the antlers.  How are you doing on your holiday decor and shopping?  Still no tree here- hoping for tonight if it is not raining too badly, shopping is going a bit better.

Enjoy!

I was working earlier this week (honestly working) and stopped for lunch in South Coast Plaza.  I was so excited to see that they had finally opened the Joe's Jeans shop.  From my lunching vantage point I was able to see there fun window display of hanging vintage items.  Loved that!

I was lucky enough to be able to chat with the sales people in the shop about design and the great look they had going on.  I cannot wait to see what they have in store for the holiday displays.  

They did a great job of mixing vintage and new and the texture in the space was so well used.  I completely loved the rainbow colored jean wall.

Their room within the space was created from vintage windows and doors painted in a heavy white.

Thank goodness we are onto the weekend again.  Although there does not seem to be an end in site for our busy fall season I do have hope that our home will soon be back to normal.  Things are moving along well in the kitchen and the flooring is completely in.  We just have painting to go and  a few little things here and there.  

How are things shaping up for you this fall?  Does it seem that there is not a dull moment in any season as of late?  I feel like we are all go go go around here.
