A different view






I have been seeing a lot of photographs from this view lately and I think it really makes you see some wonderful details in these spaces that might get lost otherwise.. Love the stairs and the floors!

I am Las Vegas today at the furniture show.. hoping to come back with some great new pieces!

Happy February everyone!

Black and white storage.




I taken by this picture.  It is such a simple idea to have all white china.  It is easy but at the same time it seems impossible for me.  Maybe I should lean towards that light grey blue that covers my all time favorite dishes from Astier de Villatte.  That seems more reasonable right?  Just a whole cabinet full of them - dreamy.

thank you to elliot for the photo info!!!

Black and White (and a bit in between) by Celerie Kemble


 


I am a firm believer in the use of black in design, I am sure we all know that.  I think it gives that classic clean edge that every space needs.  I put this book on my Christmas list this year (I am a design book junkie) and I completely LOVE it!  I am amazed by how many of the photos in the book I have used here on the blog. 

Celerie Kemble did a great job in bringing some great interiors together and she even has a chapter devoted to my sweet grey!!  So I have still got to read more of it but I thought I would let you all know that it is a great hard copy of some really great design photos out there with some great content on design itself brought to you in a very down to earth way.

Also, I added a little design library link on the bottom of the blog if you are looking for some great inspiration in hard copy most of my favorites are there!

French in black and white...











I am completely dreaming of visiting this amazing French Chateau - Château les Merles.  It looks so charming, I will have to see if I can work it into our trip to Europe next year.  I am already daydreaming of all the wonderful things that next year will hold for everyone.  I hope that it is a year of great things!

Can you imagine...  Have you started planning for next year (I know that I get a little ahead of myself sometimes)??

 Have a wonderful weekend!

Our Master Bath...




It has taken a while, a long while, but our Master Bath is finally done.  I am so excited to have it complete and be able to use it again!  It is clean and simple just as I had hoped.  I am still working on accessories and I feel like I want to add something to the walls, but for all intents and purposes it is complete.


We finally decided to use the wall mounted faucets which I am very happy we did, it is just a little bit different from the norm.  We mounted them just above the back splash and they are great with the vessel sinks from Kraus.





I love the Walker Zanger tile accent, it is just what we needed for a little something special in the shower.


We used soapstone on the counter and bath tub.  Which is so pretty, a little delicate but it is perfection.


The counter is the perfect spot for a few little things like my new vintage vanity mirror from the Pasadena flea market and my new Barr Co. candle.  The cabinet we converted has a lot of storage so I can keep everything tucked away.


I think this is one of my favorite things!!  I love the custom sconces from Cleveland Art.  They are so beautiful the pictures do not even do them justice.  They were the last pieces to be put in and they truly finished the space up.













The shower was really hard to photograph so this is the best way to see it.  We opted for the rain shower head, love it, and a completely glass enclosure.  The remodel was a lot more work than I thought but a great experience, and I am so happy with the results.

Masculine and sophistocated




I love these dark and manly spaces.. the black paneling and shelves is so yummy!  It is like a winter retreat.. with the dark wood and clean lines.

Black in the kitchen



I am sure that many of you much like me, spent A LOT of time in the kitchen this week. I realized how completely not functional mine is!!!  I cannot wait to get to fixing that problem!  Next year the kitchen is in my plans. 

I am curious what do you like the best about your kitchen?  What is the most functional?

Top Row...


I am sure that you know by now how much I love Pinterest.  When I went on there last night these 3 pictures were in the top row... I just love the way they all worked together.  
Sometimes we find relationships in design in some very odd spaces. Texture and color love!

Hope you are having a great day!
