I get inspired by many things. Some may be whole rooms and others might be a little finish on a small table in an antique shop. This week showcases the top things I was exposed to that caught my eye. This great room blends a lot of pattern and color but the room is rich and lively. I really like the underuse of overhead lighting, but the accent of the Moroccan inspired ceiling fixture . What incredible shadows this will cast on the ceiling when serving cocktails.
This great planter box caught my eye when I was internet shopping for plant containers for a current project in Manhattan Beach. I thought it had a light but sophisticated edge to it.
What I liked about this wine room is the fact that it uses heavy materials in the stone and wood but feels a bit more youthful and not so subterranean or Mediterranean. The use of steel windows helps keep it light and the use of low voltage lighting grazing the stone is a nice touch. When I install stone on interior walls, I love to graze the walls as it adds texture to a room. If budget allows , adding stone to a wall is an excellent design feature.
Great lines on this lavatory faucet. Gracious and stylish – the small details are what makes a project, so when I antagonize over the Master Bathroom Faucet , my clients roll their eyes but are very appreciative at the end of the project .
The warm but light finish on the wood and the antique fireplace are great compliment to the floor! Can see this being a great concept for a wonderful Palos Verdes Estates home. And the black lab certainly loves it.
