seeing orange...


I know we don't do a lot of color here on the blog but sometimes it is fun!  I keep coming across beautiful bright colors as Summer begins and we get to embrace the feeling of bright and fun things.

The orange in these spaces is bold and dramatic.  Such a big chance to take!
What do you think, do you go for it with color?  I have always held onto the idea that color and trends are for accents, these seem to go against that idea with a strong expression of orange.

Mary McDonald for Schumacher


While searching for fabrics a little while back for some clients I came across the new line of Mary McDonald pieces for Schumacher.  I fell instantly for the Chinois Palais collectionThe colors are beautiful and the touch of greige in each piece is perfection.  I put them into several fabric groupings for upcoming projects and I am just keeping my fingers crossed that we get to use them in some way soon!

Off course...

 We have been busy at work here while the holidays are going on all around us.  This is a little peek at the project we just installed on Tuesday.  It is always nice to see it come to life when all of the pieces come together.

Wishing you a wonderful Thursday!  We have another install today- wish me luck!

final...


Ahh,  a few little snaps from my final install of last week.  It was nice to put the major part of the work behind me.  There are always little changes to be made and switch outs that need to happen as with all installs.  It seems that inevitably there is something that arrives broken, in the wrong color or just does not arrive at all, and you have to be able to make the decision on a moments notice as to whether making a switch will change your vision for the project or if it will make it even better. 
There is nothing relaxing or easy about the install days, it is a bunch of work with the greatest of rewards- a finished project!

Southern California Spring Garden Show



This week is the Spring Garden show at Crystal Court - South Coast Plaza.  I have not been in several years and had a chance to visit yesterday.  They had a great display at center court from Fiesta Floats of Pasadena.  It was amazing with several large butterfly and giant cone shaped containers filled with flowers.   I have not been to the Rose parade since I was a little girl so seeing the detailing on the pieces was pretty amazing.  It was about 2 stories tall.
 



Room and board had a small display- Love this long simple arrangement for the outdoor table.
 
I need to look this up because these were wood pieces that held water.  I want one of these in my new garden.






There was an abundance of miniature garden displays and Japanese Maples were everywhere.



There were several of these succulents- super cool!





We spied a cherry tree near the end, I now need to add this to my list of fruit trees.  I just have to see how well they grow in our area.




The variety of Orchids on display was also pretty amazing.  They are so beautiful, I wish I could figure out how to get them to bloom more than once when they are in my care...

The Garden show runs through the weekend with several events and lectures being held each day.  It was a fun morning visit but I suggest that you arrive early, it was very busy by 10:30 AM.

You can find more information here.

Flea Market Decorating




Since I am shopping the flea in Irvine this morning I thought I would share this super fun example of flea market decorating...  I love the sign and the chaise is super dreamy!  Do you buy all new or are you into the classics??  The vintage?  The mix?  What do you like?

I have some great new pieces to add to our flea market section in the shop- I just have to take the pictures and post them.... hopefully this week!
