Weekend wishes...


Another week seems to have flown by and I am not sure where one day began and the next ended.. but there is hope for relaxing in site so I keep going!

This is a little peek at a living room project I am working on with a special client - more on that later though...

Some great things to check out this weekend..

Andrea always has the best entertaining and cooking ideas.. I cannot wait until she has another party!
I still want to be a stylist when I grow up... so inspiring!
Totally falling for this etsy/craigslist hybrid
I am pretty sure I need this real bad!
This little goodie should wrap itself up and be delivered right to me..

Have a wonderful weekend!

What I've been up to..


Wow I cannot believe it is Friday..  it has been quite a week and I have a lot left to do..  Anyway here is a little peek at what I have been up to this week.

I installed two different jobs this week and I am pretty sure this one is my favorite..  I love the colors and it came out the way I had imagined, which is always nice. You can see where it started below.




I just loved this succulent piece we made.  I have to have one made for me!

In other news we are moving forward at what seems an amazing rate on the pool area.  We had Brandon from Monkwood come and install our reclaimed wood wall in the cabana and I am in love with it! Everything still needs some finishing touches but once the cushion is made for the daybed he made and the pillows it is going to be an amazing oasis in there!  The "green" is coming tomorrow and I could not be more excited to see it in the place of the dirt that we have been living with for months.

Our Pool.. getting from there to here...


I finally feel like I can share a little of our pool installation and design with you because I feel like we have actually accomplished something.  So far the process has taken about 10 or 11 weeks and we are still knee deep in work, but we are swimming.  Everyone says we won't swim much after the first few months but that's okay we are living in pool bliss right now and swimming almost every day or evening and loving it.
 

Before we dug the hole we actually had grass and many many trees.  We pulled everything out to completely overhaul the yard.  It is big by Southern California standards and was begging for a pool.  We could not have been more excited to just have a dirt hole.  The first weekend (and the second) we sat out there and stared at it in the sunshine.
 


This was just 10 days after they started digging.. so excited!
 




Our fire pit area with gridded slabs.



Then came the concrete.  This was put in just a week or so before I left on my trip so I have an entire missing section of the progress here..  it went from this to a real live pool with water and everything while I was gone.
 

I also came home to this.. our cabana being built.  Which is still in progress. I cannot wait to get it all together!  
 


There is still a lot to do and I promise to keep you updated..  We expect the sprinklers and the cabana to be finished at the end of this week, so soon we will be able to plant and put in grass.  I have never longed for green and trees so much in my life!  The details of this project have really been challenging and I am so glad to see it coming together! 


Follow along on Instagram to see all of our progress..

Finished up...


When you work on a project for years it is so nice to finally have it wrap up.  It makes all the difference to see all of the decisions and hard work come together to make a space that you are really happy with.  Design is a collaboration between the designer, architect, builder, tradesmen and the client and when everyone is happy it is one of the best feelings you can have.  This is a little peek at a project that just finished up last month and we could not be happier with the results.  It feels so good to see it in use and working so well for everyone.

By Invitation Only: A great challenge

A challenge...  The girls from By invitation only have asked us to write about a challenge for this month's post.  Something to over come possibly something to accomplish.  I think this might be the perfect opportunity to speak up, to get it off my chest so to speak.  I have been writing this little blog for (omg) almost 4 years now and I have felt that it was challenging many times, sometimes a fun challenge but challenging never the less.  I think it may be time for a change, maybe a regroup so to speak.  It has been itching at me since the beginning of the year and I am just now accepting it I think.  I would like to make some changes around here... I know you have changed in the past 4 years and I know that I certainly have, hopefully in good ways!  So I want to add a few things and organize a few things and possibly omit a few things...  I ask you to be patient with me as I work through some changes here on the blog, in hopes of making it better and fuller.

Last year was an amazing year full of projects and wonderful growth for me.  I worked on and completed about 15 projects in a 12 month period, not including my residential clients and my personal projects.  Sometimes that can leave you feeling a little over cooked, if you know what I mean.  I want to make the blog a reflection of what really truly inspires me each and every day not just what I think you are going to want to see, in hopes that it will inspire you too.

Beach house inspiration..


Sometimes you just need to escape to a little beach house for some R and R.  I love all of the natural textures and white mixed with that pop of color...

Happy weekend!

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!

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!
