"Going Turquoise"...


Love this images with key pieces in the turquoise tones which can make any design stand out from the ordinary.  Mixing the beautiful blue takes courage but if we use white as the off set contrasting color, there is no problem!  Whether we have furniture, lamp or even a lampshade it looks sharp...
Happy Monday

"Glass Urns"...
































Glass urns are so much in style now days...The transparency is perfect for any type of filler you wish to do.  In this case, using faux pears gives a casual but elegant look.  The filler can be from fruits to shells...

"A Small Bathroom"...

This small bathroom is so beautiful and traditional.  It sort of reminds me of being on a train ride, being restricted by space but the luxury makes it just perfect.  Love the wood tones and specially the basket under the sink.  I cannot think of a space that is not wasted.  The mix of the old and the modern with the stainless sink bowl is a great design idea and also continuing with the same look, don't forget the plumbing under the sink...it matches.

"Teacups"...



































Can you help me decide which fabric pattern to choose for the new Dress My Shade "teacups" collections.  I love the black and white vintage but also adore the retro style of the colorful one.

"A Modern Affair"...



































































Love these images of a modern small bathroom after its remodel...The glass subway tiles are so small but we still see the horizontal lines floating gracefully from side to side. Now, the entire wall space can be covered by tile or we can leave one wall painted or with wallpaper.  Updating the cabinets is a must, undermount or bowl sinks are a plus and to finalized a nice unusual flooring is necessary...look at this pebble tiles, they have such much Zen...

Happy Monday!

"Adding Artwork"...














This master bedroom was finished but client came back asking for more little details...The request is to add artwork above headboard.  Sometimes projects are finished according to customers ideas and you think you are done but there's more to add.  It's refreshing to continue to add decorative items and continue with the theme/design idea and scale.  The prints are small 14 inches wide by about 22 long.  They are dry grasses, which add such an organic feel to this Elegant-Shabby room!  {more to come}
