Grey in the kitchen




Grey makes a great accent in the kitchen too.  This island is amazing!  My kitchen has a island set up similar to this or it will when I am finished with it, I love the X detailing and the pendants.

Secrets to Finishing Beautiful Interiors
A little while back I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this amazing book,  Segreto: Secrets to Finishing Beautiful Interiors.  I am a sucker for design books, they are stacked around my office and home here and there just waiting for a free moment to be opened and explored.  This book is a fabulous resource of inspiration images and information from Segreto on their work.  It offers a view into some of the most beautiful homes I have seen and information on how these looks were achieved.  With over 300 pages of interior photos and details it is a great piece to add to the design library and the cocktail table alike. 

"Explore the breathtaking rooms within and enjoy a multitude of design styles by the bevy of talented interior designers, builders, architects and homeowners that Leslie has been privileged to work with through the years. Segreto: Secrets to Finishing Beautiful Interiors gives you the knowledge of what is available today and the confidence to create an ambiance that best reflects the particular period or design style you desire, by simply applying the right finish." from Segreto.

Teen Bedroom design


 




I have had the pleasure of working with one of my clients on a bedroom for her 16 year old daughter.  It is really fun to see her inspiration and what she wants to do with her space.  

I wanted her to have something fun and functional with a little bit of spice to keep it interesting for her.  I suggested a large leaning bulletin board and a lot of smaller photo/art frames, as well a bright splashes of color in the rug and pillows.  

It is always nice to do something a little different!

If you are interested in our online design services you can check out some of my other projects here.

Totally loving..


These things are totally not related..  I love the vibrant green in this outdoor space.  We are searching for the perfect hedge for our yard and this picture caught my eye.  Any hedge suggestions are welcome!




I was at the design center yesterday pulling some fabrics for a job and had a chance to see the new line from Kelly Wearstler for Lee Jofa- love these!  It is nice to see some new fabrics.  I also had a chance to see the new pieces from Windsor Smith which are also fantastic.

Wishing you a great start to the end of the week!

Going somewhere..




I saw these and was immediately in love- this is some amazing talent!  

I have a presentation today and then it is back to the ordering grind for ongoing projects.  I wish I felt like I was moving forward but I am not sure if I am really getting anywhere anymore.

Tomorrow I will share with you a little bit of what I have been up to and I am hoping to get to share some great new books that I have discovered too!

Wishing you a lovely Wednesday.

Vintage Chic




I am so glad for the weekend, although I won't be resting too much, I like the idea of it.  Just a little vintage chic inspiration here..  

I received a sweet comment on the blog that made me think about somethings I had planned for this year in blogging.   I wanted to share more of my personal projects with you here, more of what truly inspires me to design in my own home, is that of interest to you my readers?  This year looks to be really great for getting some of the personal projects I have been planning actually done, making them so much more fun to share!

Have a great relaxing Saturday - it's always nice to spend a day doing things for yourself right?

Tufted sofa love...


So I am completely smitten with the tufted vintage style sofa, chesterfield or not I am loving the fun styles out there.  I have a simple high back sofa in my living room from Cisco brothers that has served me well for years- I think 7 or 8 years to be exact and it is still in great shape.  However, you know as well as anybody that girls like me like to day dream.  When I day dream it is about furniture and travel typically.  (the photo below makes me weak!)  So anyway long story short, or vice versa now, I was not shopping for a sofa but you know how things happen when you least expect it, I found a beauty that I could not resist!





This one is so cute with the contrast of the nail heads...


This little beauty looks vintage but it is not..


Love the yellow but I know it is not for me...


So here she is my new to me vintage sofa... LOVE LOVE LOVE   the only question now is which fabric and which color??

Do I go with linen in a natural tone, linen in a charcoal grey, velvet in a light grey??  Oh the delimas I get myself into! 

What do you think?  I am over the moon- it was the perfect find for a ridiculously low  price (I am not sure I should say).  I will say that flea market shopping is some of the best shopping EVER!

Grey in the kitchen..


Lately I have seen some of the most beautiful grey or gray kitchens.  I know that these are some of my most popular posts over time.  So I thought that it would be nice to do a little series on them until we run out (could be forever).  

This is the first of the series and I must say that I am loving this too..  the grey with the white is very clean and simple and the addition of a little exposed storage or display.

Collected in Grey and Gold



It is so nice to realize that I am not the only one who needs to collect things like vintage textiles, and cameras and all kinds of other little goodies that are unnecessary to everyday life..

What about you what do you collect?  Have I asked this question before?  I need to know- it helps me feel more normal!

Cement Walls




The texture of cement is so fantastic when it is natural or with a smooth finish and a small amount of nuetural color.  The color is truly an artistic endeavor.  I am using a custom made cement counter and molded sink in an upcoming project and I am so excited to see how they turn out. The finishes had the smallest differences and I really loved them all.

These walls are so amazing with the natural light in this picture.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!  Maybe this weekend I will have a little time to take some photos of my treasures from the last few weeks of shopping.  

Don't miss your chance to enter our giveaway for a Voluspa candle!

Man Candy...





Sometimes I think I don't post enough masculine design.. This space is amazing (as is the car).. it is a little something for the guys out there.

I love the sofa and the contrast with the walls along with the artwork and industrial pieces.

  I would love to hear from you..  leave a guy comment below so I know you are there if you want to.

Bobby McAlpine in Veranda


It was nice to see something from Bobby McAlpine in the latest issue of Veranda.  I love the natural texture mixed with the simple color combination.  This is just a little peek- grab a copy for yourself!
