A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Lee of Lee Stanton Antiques. While we were chatting about antiques and traveling I mentioned that I was disappointed to have missed their recent event, Legends of La Cienega: Celebrate Art while traveling.  Lee was kind enough to give me the opportunity to have a "private tour" of everything that I had missed via their photos of the event.  I am so excited to share some of the fantastic window displays from the event with you!  An amazing amount of detail went into each display - just fantastic!

Next year I will be there to enjoy all of the fun for sure!

I fell in love with this space in the recent show house from Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles.

I even used it for lifestyle inspiration for a client and in doing so I was trying without much luck to find the source for the chair pictured in the room.

  

Well- found it- Barbara Barry for McGuire of course!

Love Love it! But I always love their chairs!

Do you feel like life is always a work in progress.. Like you are always trying to get somewhere? Some days are like this... I am not even sure where it is that I am trying to get to but I know it is out there..

Right now I am working on the lovely Amy's bedroom design...  She gave me these two photos as her inspiration.  Let me tell you this girl knows what she likes.. even thought these pictures are from very different homes they have the same feeling.  

I am wondering- can you pinpoint your likes and dislikes?  Do you know what you love?  Can you choose a picture or five and really have them have the same feeling in each one without really realizing it?  Do you know what it is about those inspiration pictures that makes you long for the spaces with in them?  I would love to hear what you think and see what you love.  Do me a favor~ if you want to~ post a picture of your favorite inspirational rooms on our facebook page and tell us all what it is about the room or space that makes it so important to you.. a little designer challenge for all of you!!

P.S. Don't forget today is the last day to enter to win a RAMSIGN piece for your home!

I am loving this gorgeous showroom!  What a great resource for designers. 

This is a project that I worked on last month with a great customer of mine. The house was built in 1916 in Fullerton and was purchased and remodeled to be put up for sale. It is a really cute house that had a very old remodel done to it. The house just needed a little paint and some updates to bring it back to life. This was a very fun project for me!

I hope you like it!

Family room before.  The floors were beautiful - we had them refinished and they look even better.

The dining room before - a little too red for me.

This is the kitchen- WOW- beneath the linoleum was original douglas fir which was also sanded and finished and looks great!

The cabinet layout was a little off because of the original stove size and position- this space needed to be reworked.

The main bathroom - the only shower!

With a bad 80's remodel....

The Back bathroom

Front bathroom- a little tight in here (3 inches for your legs that is enough right?)

Remodel time...

The new living room look's so clean and the floors look amazing!

The new kitchen - does this even look like the same room?

We refaced the cabinets and the contractor reworked the corner what a major difference.  Also, the floors look wonderful (who would hide this with  linoleum?)

The dining room with fresh coat of paint.

The main bathroom with a new layout that maximizes the space and all new flooring and wall tile.  I love this room now!

The back bathroom all cleaned up with new sink, paint and fixtures.

The front bath with the sink moved into the adjoining closet and the old bath made into just the toilet room.

I was so excited to see how this all turned out.  What do you think?  Better?
