working towards the dream...



I love all of the intricate details of Paris, I love that she stays there being beautiful just waiting for us to visit once again.  I have missed her this year!  We are planning a trip for Spring and I cannot wait to see how little she has changed!  

I hope you have a dreamy weekend!  
We will be here working hard to be able to visit next Spring!

Interior photography...



I think that among us there is a deep appreciation for quality artistic interior photography.  Even if we don't realize it the photography and often times the photographer are what make these spaces show in the best possible light.  It does take great styling and design I know that, but without the art of the photograph it is so hard to show it to the world, short of touring each and every space in person.

I love that a photo can capture light and depth in a space so beautifully.  So thank you to all of those interior photographers out there who make things oh so beautiful!

weekend of R & R


How has another week passed so quickly.  I could seriously loose a few days in this room if I tried.  Couldn't you just imagine reading with the natural light?  

What do you have planned for the weekend? I think I may have already mentally started the weekend!

Lifestyle in grey..


It is always a nice relief to do a little something creative when you get inspired.  These are just a few of the wonderful things I have been seeing out there and they make for a great combination in a sitting area don't you think?

black and light..





I am completely loving these pics.  Totally smitten with the details in black, I think they make the spaces.  I cannot believe we are already at Friday!!  I hope you have amazing plans for the weekend or no plans at all which is pretty amazing in itself!

Light in the Dining room




The natural light in this space is pretty amazing.  Those are the chairs that I keep seeing around too just in a lighter finish... might have to find me a few of those!

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday!

a little kitchen inspiration...




I have been hording images for months and after getting the green light on the kitchen remodel I have had to finally narrow it down.  So here they are most of my favorites...
Above is the beautiful kitchen from the home of Loi Thai from Tone on Tone.  Pendants love them and they seem pretty similar to the pair that I purchased last week for my kitchen!  Cabinets- beautiful color so soft and clean and just not quite white (well in this photo- I am not sure if they are in person).

 I love this glass front cabinet for dishes and glassware with storage on the bottom.
Something similar will go where our really large pantry is now.


Beautiful island love the cabinet color..  Our island will be a light grey to match the colors in the backsplash which will be a vein cut limestone (my color starting point).


I love the base detail on this piece and of course the color is super cool.


We will have a similar cook top- I am leaning towards the Kitchen-aid version with a griddle.
Yes please.


I love this cabinet too for dishes just deciding on the style.  Mine will have a dark espresso finish.


I love the huge molding detail on the top of the cabinetry in this space and the storage on the island.

As well as the amazing pendants!

Also, thank you for all of your sweet comments and emails about my last post!!  Keeping those fingers crossed for me always helps!  Off to start a wonderful week...

greige on the lake


A perfectly relaxing space inside and out.  I love the soft subtle colors mixed in with the glass beads and the the vintage bottles and accessories.  It just shows how much you can do with texture and beautiful light in a space. 





Note how each space has a beautiful light fixture.  I love this custom piece above the tub.

Kitchen pendants


So I am in the beginning design stages of my kitchen remodel.  Which I am super excited about but there are many very important decisions to make.  The sooner the better considering the lead time on some of these pieces!!  The first thing I had to figure out was my cabinet colors and the counters..  done there just need to get all of the pricing together (I will post those as soon as I make the final final decisions based on the cash).  But I have quickly moved onto lighting.  I love lighting!  So there is a small nook area that needs a chandelier and then we need to add pendants over the new island. 

My first choice on the chandelier is below..  this one if from Arteriors but I might have to adjust considering the price... (oops I always go based on looks for myself first then try to figure out pricing- it can be easier that way sometimes but in this case it is not really going to work).  Aside from that isn't she beautiful!  Another choice is the hand made piece above from Cleveland Art.  I have several pieces from them in my house (they made the amazing lights in my master bath) and I love them as each is a unique work of art.
 

So I like this one for a pendant but I am not sure about cleaning the shade and it may not be quite right but it sure is cute!
  This is one of my all time favorites from Cisco Brothers!  Love but it may be too small for there..


Another contender but it might be over done.  I have seen these in all kinds of kitchens...


I love this piece from Arteriors- new and fabulous!

Another Arteriors piece very similar to the Cisco piece but a bit larger...


This is fun and new from Arteriors too..
 Then there is the large bling that I decided half way through this post might work over the table in the nook too... 
 


Any suggestions?  I like the idea of mixing something a little fancy with something more industrial.  Lighting is the most visual accessory in a room next to artwork and I like to keep things interesting!
