Yesterday I had a chance to go up to Venice (I have lived in California all my life and never been to Venice, Ca.  I have been to Venice, Italy though - weird huh) to meet with Susan from H. Bleu.  Susan is creating a custom wall treatment or art piece for me in a project that I am working on, I am so excited!  Her shop was so fun and creative, she is super talented and has a love for all things vintage.   We had a chance to chat, which is my favorite thing to do with creative people, I could go on for hours.  Susan was also nice enough to direct me to a cute neighborhood where I could get some lunch and shop.... more on that coming next week.

This is the style of the piece she is making for me - I cannot wait to see mine in the space!  One of my favorite things about design is being able to work with people who can make what is in my head part of real life.  There are so many talented artists and designers out there and I so enjoy a collaboration like this.

Visit H. Bleu here to see more about Susan and The Shop!

I know a beautiful kitchen may not be the first thing you want to see on a Monday morning but I do!  I have been given the green light to start my own kitchen renovation so I have been spending my free time gathering images and ideas to get me going!  I am always a little nervous to start my own projects... 

I love love this one- so pretty and clean.

I am knee deep in the process of designing a commercial space right now and I am completely inspired by the work of AvroKO.  We are taking the darker library approach with an industrial modern twist.  I am excited to use some wood flooring treatments for paneling on the walls and adding a brick to the space to create a sense of age that is not already there.  All of the details are like a layering effect in the space.  I have found so many ideas and they are all swimming around up there just waiting to get down on paper and made in physical forms.

It should be fun to say the least!

I am still completely and totally in love with tolix and this mix is so clean and just so perfect!

What do you think?  I really like the combination with the chrome accents and the clean modern/traditional details.  

Clean, Unique and Interesting!

I fell in love with the light that seems to be pouring into this space.  It makes the cabinetry almost seem grey when I am pretty sure that it is white.  So simple and clean.  

Someday (hopefully soon) I will get to change up the kitchen here!  I found the most amazing tiles for the back splash and I think that they will set the mood for the entire kitchen.. 

Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend- I hope it is filled with family, friends and sparkles!!

One of my favorite images ever!  This door is amazing!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend planned!

The herringbone floors are to die for and the wall of windows..
