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!

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... ;)

¡Bienvenido! Willkommen! ようこそ! Welcome!

However your home says "Welcome!" make sure it says a little bit about you, too! The entry way gives your home's first impression: make it a good one! Make your foyer fashionable, functional, and totally unforgettable by implementing these design ideas- you (or your guests!) will feel right at home as soon as you walk in. Enjoy!

 This entry way says 'Welkom thuis!'- it's very European and modern. Without wasting any space, this design is highly efficient and useful, yet incredibly sleek and smooth. I love the wood texture mixed with the clean, bright white!

 Bam! This entry has a life of its own. Wild zebra rug, chunky console table paired with a white bold mirror on a grey wall sure makes a statement. Mixing straight lines with organic forms is a great way to give more interest to the space. 

 

 Clearly you have exquisite taste! The clear chair, mirrored table, and glass decor let light travel through and bounce off surfaces to visually maximize space, while the bursts of color maximize style!

  Welcome to a world of wonder! This entry way mixes natural elements with classic and vintage designs to create a wonderful walk-in. 

 

Say 'Honey, I'm home!' without dropping a thing. This metal apparatus is convenient, classy, and keeps you organized! You will never have to hear your honey ask 'Where are my keys?' again.

 

 Not sure where to put your stuff when you walk in? Hang on- there's a place for that! These hanging-storage duos are on double-duty! Notice the color accents inside the bins? Love it! Perfect for a back door, utility room entry.

Not Your Average Coffee Table

Coffee tables often get over looked in a design, but what about making it the feature! More akin to a piece of art than a necessity. These are some not so boring coffee tables that are sure to pump your room up. Enjoy!

 This one reminds me of the matchbox car tracks I had as a kid. It provides fun table space without making a big footprint, which can really open up a room.

Perfect for a music lover, possibly in a studio or a space that could use a little musical influence. Solid wood provide a durable surface while chrome plated legs give this piece stability.

 I love the way transparent coffee tables exhibit the functionality of wood or metal but allow visual breathing room.

 Do you love fish? More specifically keeping them as pets? Keeping an aquarium as a coffee table is a great conversation piece. Visually entertaining and space saving this can liven up the right space.

 A very, um, dynamic piece. Albeit potentially disturbing, this creative piece provides some “life” to an otherwise boring space.

 Wood is too often ignored and its full potential as a creative medium overlooked. These two examples maintain a natural theme but retain function as well.

A little funky, but that’s what this is all about! I like the contrasting color integrating a human touch to it. 

My Kind of Style: Vintage Modern Dining Rooms

Vintage Modern.  For those who know me, this is what I would be if I were a style.  Stylish, fresh yet classic.  These dining rooms give a sense of warmth, homeyness but edgy at the same time.  The best designs are always created with the owner in mind; how they live and what kind of feeling they get when you walk into one of these understated dining rooms. You have a table you love but no "matching" chairs? No need to fret none of these chairs do such a thing and yours don't have to either! Enjoy!

  Who needs matching chairs? If you can't decide which chair would look best with your fantastic table....get one of each! Its easy and if one needs replacing that won't be that hard, just pick another chair you like. Keeping them in the same color family keeps a cohesive look.

Bam! How about a wild print on the chairs? Kartell makes these and they are stunning. A modern version of a classic chair. 

 White Tulip chairs are iconic, and partnered with a large old farm table make both elements stand alone and give each other the attention they deserve!

Love the color palette here, soft, soothing colors paired with clean lines makes a comfortable room. Mid century modern furniture in a traditional interior space is a perfect partnership. 

White on White: Traditional lines but painted one color gives a modern look. This is easy too! Thrift stores and antique shops always have old traditional furniture but look what some paint does to them! 

Ta Da! They have new life!
