Cool Off This Summer with New Hot Tile!

Tile is a great way to being in texture and color into a bathroom, kitchen or really any space for that matter.  These are some cool tiles that are sure to make your space heat up! With so many options for tiles who would want to be ordinary? Pick something that represents you and your style.  Enjoy!

 These tiles remind me of tetris! Simple color with various thicknesses to give lots of depth to what would normally be a boring flat wall.

 Geometry is one of my favorites. These slightly varied shades give the illusion of 3 dimensions.

 Stainless crosses wow! Alternating between polished and matte finishes gives depth to a wall.

 A city map on a wall?! Genus! I definitely want this. 

 How about a plain white tile with the most texture you can think of. These horizontal tiles do just that! Or if you aren't into lines how about these hex shaped tiles angled various ways for added texture!

I'm on a boat!

I have seen more modern houseboats than ever before! History shows us that people migrate to where water is....so why not be surrounded by it?Having an unconventional house literally floating on the water isn't for everyone (especially if you get sea sick) but it makes for a unique home that you can move it virtually anywhere! These are some houseboats from around the world. Enjoy!

Concrete Jungle Fever!

Caught the fever, yet? Be careful, it's contagious! Concrete can morph into just about anything- counter tops, tables, floors, benches. This unique material is environmentally sound, durable, and dynamic. Despite its hard and tough feel, it can be stained, polished, and sealed for a finished look. Concrete may seem intimidating, but he's not such a tough guy- just pair him with some soft goods such as linens or an over-sized club chair. That way, his tough edge gets taken off with a softer look. Haven't caught concrete jungle fever yet? Just take a look at these great designs. Enjoy

 

 Sturdy and portable concrete tables- a simple, highly functional design.

Take a seat on concrete! This sculpture may not be as comfortable as your sofa, but it is much more fun!  

Re-think your sink! Concrete can even be used in your bathroom. 

 This piece gives 'set the table' a whole new meaning!

Frame Your Walls!

Displaying wall art can be a challenge, especially if you can't figure out away to make different pieces feel connected. These are some great ideas to display your works of art! Enjoy!

All these pieces are different but putting then in various black and white frames gives them a cohesive feel and keeping a simple shape like a rectangle can make them feel as a whole.

 Overlap your art and put on an art shelf for added height. 

 Center the center of all the pieces together on the wall so it feel like one big piece.

Put all your art in the same style frames to give a simple elegant look.

The Eames Lounge Chair.

 The first chair created by American design couple Charles and Ray Eames.  Over the last 6 decades this chair has evolved with the interiors it has been place so carefully in.  This is great design, something that is well-known for over half a century. One day I will own one myself, but for now I dream. I just wanted to share these wonderful interiors.  Enjoy!

Color palettes for design inspiration!

Color is a great way to enhance a design, and in some designs that makes or breaks it.  I currently am working with a client who love the ocean and all the colors found in scenes throughout the color changing day.  Sunrises and sunsets have some of the most beautiful color combos when over the water. Design-seeds takes photos and pulls colors from them to create these amazing palettes so here are some I found!  How could you not relax with these color palettes! Enjoy!

 When I first looked at this photo I was trying to pick the colors that would give lots of depth, but design-seeds did a great job of that!

 Fun! Love this combo, its simple and sophisticated.  Also depending on how much of each color you use your room can have a totally different feel just be changing the amount of one color. 

 Ah relaxation! This makes me want to be laying on the beach...

If you travel and remember a great spot you went to make sure to take a photo of it because that could always be you next design inspiration.

Sea glass has always be a favorite and this palette pulls the perfect hues out to incorporate into a space.

Concrete Ideas for Concrete Floors!

Concrete is a material that for some is not something that goes in their home. Its cold, uninviting, and seems to raw for a home.  Things have changed. Concrete is a sustainable product that can be manipulated in so many ways. You can stamp it, score it, painted it, stain it......the possibilities are endless. These are a few examples of what can be done with this versatile  product. Enjoy!

 This simply stained concrete with subtle graphic detail gives some interest to a space without being overpowering.

  This looks like wood planks, I know! It is just the concrete playing tricks on you.  Stamped concrete give you texture and durability like hard wood flooring would but its better for the environment and on your wallet.

 

Painting with a bold pattern and lots of color is like having a built in rug.

  Making concrete resemble other more traditional materials is becoming a popular option for those who love the look of expensive Italian tile. Adding two or three colors can make a bigger impact on a space.

Decked OUT!

No matter what region you live in there is something to be said for having a deck of your own. Need to tear out your old broken one or maybe your home never had one? Now is the time to build your dream deck!  Spend some time this summer with BBQs, pool parties, or just livin' easy out on the deck.  Here are some ideas on how to get decked out this summer. Enjoy!

 Enjoy the view without anything blocking it! Except glass, of course... just remember it's there.

   Try to focus on the deck here, people! This view is breathtaking, complimented by a cozy and nearly camouflaged deck designed for optimal comfort.

 

 This deck is sleek and sexy- perfect for the sunbathers!

 This deck is incredibly spacious! I love the checker-patterned wood floor. Also, this home has a sun room: great for admiring the outdoors while still inside.

 Step out on the deck and into the pool! This modern deck flows so well and the Palm Tree Island is a perfect touch.

 Many levels, many opportunities! Instead of having one floor, this multi-level deck subtly designates areas for different activities.

 Decked out on the water! I've always wanted my own island... ;)
