Oh and the Lighting!

Always looking for inspiration, the theme was lighting.  No matter how fantastic a room turns out, if you do not create an environment that's layered with the ambiance of lighting, then it just doesn't cut it.  Below are some images of dreamy, sexy, energetic and relaxing rooms that all get my approval!

Oooh the Tile!

Just saw the completed tile wall in the galley of my clients house. I wanted it to be drop dead gorgeous as this is the first thing you see upon entering!  I think it hit the mark.

All new custom designed furniture with the new rug...still waiting on the coffee table but all ready you can see the dramatic difference.  So light and airy.

Waiting on this coffee table, the graceful legs will add softness to the setting.

Custom Furniture

Finding inspiration for a chaise.  The idea was to have one that wasn't so bulky and heavy in the room.  By reducing the base, adding soft nickel nail heads--on top of the gorgeous, hand picked soft blue leather, it is going to be amazing!  Sigh.

New Music

Elegy

Hours

Tycho-Musician and his alter-ego, the Artist ISO50 hail from San Francisco.  His music has an energy about it that is at once calming and inspiring.   

Inspiration--New Library

Planning the new library has had me stretching back through all my design images.  Hoping to find that perfect mix to inspire my retreat.  Here are some of the rooms that have all offered inspiration.

New Music

Nothing like getting ready for a night to Aluna Francis and George Reid of AlunaGeorge, from London this is Hip Pop at it's best.  While your're there check out Analyser, you might have to wait until you get to 1:00 to see why.  As a little bit of a dabbler on the beat pad, I gotta say this beat is sickk.

Daydreaming

Plus House in Japan.  Is there anything else to say?

 Architects of this perfection are Masahiro and Mao Harada, who founded Mount Fuji Architects Studio in 2004.

This house located in Sydney, Australia--now said to be known as the Skylight House, once had the bones of a traditional Victorian style home.  What a transformation!  Here is one photo of the atrium like passageway that the architects and designers at Chenchow Little.  The interior design by Janice Chenchow of Chenchow Little.
