Grey in my kitchen

 

Our kitchen has been finished for just about a year now and we love love it.  I am so excited to be able to share some of the beautiful photos that Ashlee took for us while she was here.  The way she photographs is so so amazing!  Just the right feeling for my design style.

I am so excited to share the finished product with you first!

Feeling fancy...

 

So have you had your house or your work photographed - professionally?  I am sure many of you have.. I have not aside from commercial projects that I work on.  This week my favorite photographer.. Ashlee is coming to take our family photos at the house and to snap some pics of my remodeled kitchen.  Some real photos that I can use and share, this is a big step for me as I know I have been holding out on all of you for almost a year about how the kitchen project turned out.  Personally - I love love it - I hope you do to! I promise to share once they come in!

I would love to hear your experiences with having your projects and/or home photographed.  I know it is a pretty personal thing as we all interpret our design differently.

oh and don't forget to get your entry in for the Vintage by Nina book giveaway!  We have another book giveaway coming later this week!

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.

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.

Vintage Fabrics: Batik

 

I have a little problem when it comes to this indigo fabric.. well I just cannot resist the beautiful details of each piece and how different they are.  (Please excuse the weird angle of the photo below).   I love these pieces with their intricate patterns and the soft hand of the fabric. The fabric pieces were made in China with a wax resist technique and each is unique, most of these pieces began as clothing and bedding and are now being re-purposed in all different ways.

As you can see I cannot resist the temptation with these pieces! Some of these will go up for sale, most are my personal collection, and I will be using some of the loose fabrics for upholstery projects that I have in the works.

 

While we were in LA for this quick little visit it was a beautiful day and the neighborhood was so pretty, so I snapped a few pictures.  I love how each house is so unique and full of character, this one was so cute!
