Staging @ the beach...

Friday, July 19, 2013

Last week I was asked to stage a beautiful home that's going up for sale in Marina Del Rey, flanked on one side by the ocean and the other by the canal, the minute I stepped inside I knew it lent itself to a slightly mid-century vibe. 
So off I went back to my office and started to plan the design...


Living Room before...

Dining Room before...

Loft space before...

The stunning views...
 My Inspiration was this amazing piece of art that I'm obsessing over from West elm, very Franz  Kline

Loft space design plan...
It took one day to transform this empty space and give it an identity, and if I've got to work I couldn't have asked for a better environment to work in, surrounded by amazing views and cooled by ocean breezes, I'll buy it... 



Living Room after...

And of course that art...

                                          I definitely got my exercise on this one...


The end of a long but fulfilling day...
Amen...

Happy 4th of July...

Thursday, July 4, 2013

Well we're all decked out my bike included so today I plan to lay by the pool, eat some hot dogs, and maybe a few sweet treats, get together with a few friends and share a fourth of July cocktail, then ride our bikes to the jetty to watch the firework display, let the festivities begin...






A few red, white and blue design inspirations...








Loving these...

The impeccable style of Jackie O 
Wishing everyone a safe and happy 4th of July...

Not just any old LOFT...

Monday, June 17, 2013

Last night HGTV'S Design Star contestants were given the challenge to design a loft space for their imaginary clients, they decided that their clients would be a young, hip couple, he's a rock star she's a fashion designer, the loft was to be chic, glamorous and little rock and roll, what did you think? 
Here are a few amazing loft spaces that I love...


A little Hollywood Glamour in California...
Warmth and style in Tribeca...
Industrial and neutral...

Warm and Inviting entry...
A powerful pop of red in this Taiwan Loft...
This lighting steals the show...
My personal favorite, obsessing over those windows...
Such a great division of space...
❤❤❤
Lofts cry out for you to think outside the box, to repurpose the unusual, what would you do with these open spaces?
