Kitchen Remodel Before and After



I was in Orange County this weekend for a photo shoot.... 
We photographed a kitchen and family room I designed. 

My client lives about 2 hours from where I live so 
we had to go shopping for the last little details before the shoot... 

We shopped from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM...

We had a blast.....
My feet were so sore the next day...









These images are from my cell phone, you will see the professional pictures on my new web site...as soon as I get my booty in gear and give the web designer the images I want to use... 
















































This is the before pictures of the kitchen 























My sweet client gave me this dome that's on the island....

I love it! 

 Its from Z Gallery if anyone is interested in buying one... 

Talk to you all soon!

Decor Jewelry....

Elli


I'm leaving Thursday for a photo shoot and have been shopping trying to find unique pieces... 

I've also been busy finishing up several clients homes...
Adding little details to bring their homes to life...

Its like adding the jewelry to an outfit....
It gives the room personality!

The photo above has shells in a silver dish to create interest.

I love this shot...
The chandelier sets it off...
There are so many unique pieces... 
but... 
are those potatoes in the dish? 









The Ivy House Tumbler



Look at all the decor Jewelry in this room... 










Masseria Potenti




A simple collection of beautiful glass bottles makes a wonderful statement... 










And on the random side of things...

I bought this coffee table for my living room...
I should get it next week...
I can't wait! 
 Hope you have a great week...

Pink and Lace-y

(Houzz and on my Pinterest)


 

Oh my gosh...
I have re-written this post a hundred times...
Ive gone from Valentines day, love songs, quotes to poems...
to sharing things I love that are pink, lace-y and...feminine.

I love getting flowers ...they look beautiful in every room.













(John Robshaw)


I love when a room is creative and has a Bohemian feel...
18 patterns in one room....
If I counted right. 
Shoot, have you ever tried 18 patterns...this is not easy to pull off!















Chanel...lovely anytime!














 Patina... 













Soft and feminine vignettes..

Blue and White Decor and I'm Back!


(Cacomma  Interiors)



I missed all of you!  
 I want to thank you for your prayers, emails and checking in on me...

With two parents being sick and a son who was in an accident...its been very hard to blog, but I'm learning to breath in between life's little surprises.. 

Here are a few things I learned the last couple of months...
Thank God for my hubby and good friends that support me no matter what I'm going through....
Love you guys! 

Always try to find the silver lining in every situation....
Find time to take care of yourself. 
That's a hard one! 
When your taking care of everyone else its hard to find time for yourself..

 Most important, you gotta laugh at yourself! 

 Yes, even though things are filled with hardship you gotta laugh at the situation... 

Erma Bombeck had a saying...
(my Mother loved her)

 "Laughter rises out of tragedy, when you need it the most, and rewards you for your courage."


I thought this was a perfect time to get back in the swing of things and join The Pink Pagodas blue and white party... 







(Vogue Living)



  Have you noticed we are finally seeing blue and white in the stores?

 Hello Pottery Barn!
Its about time....

It seems like we, in blog-land, have been posting and talking about blue and white decor for so long.... 
Its nice to finally see it out and about.....







Ralph Lauren


Oh Ralph, you've done it again....

Look at the beautiful patina in the wood work. 
I love the color of those doors.
