Camping…
I generally don’t make any pretense when it comes to camping: it’s just not for me. We never loaded up the station wagon and pitched a tent when I was growing up (for which, as a kid, I was immensely grateful). It might have been something on which I missed out in my childhood. Or […]
Inspiration
We designed and had built these great floating shelves for a project. A great use of otherwise unused space. Roasting vegetables really brings out the flavors. My new favorite is cauliflower. These peonies started out pink and the color just faded away as the week went on. This post office at the Marin Country […]
Inspiration
An afternoon break of an iced coffee can really hit it spot. Attending a wedding at the San Francisco zoo and getting to ride the merry-go-round brought out the kid in me – if only for a moment. Loving the colors and textures of peacock feathers. An afternoon BBQ is a perfect way to spend […]
Morocco Top 12
People have been asking me what my absolute favorite parts of Morocco were. So I decided to coe up with a list. Here is my short list to Morocco. I tried to make it a “Top 10” – but I couldn’t edit it down that much! So here we go… 12. Haggle with the vendors – […]
One Kings Lane
As I mentioned last week, I am excited to announce my third One Kings Lane sale this week. 8am-Wednesday, May 30th. Make sure to check out some of my collections for sale. Pillows, photos, collections from my travels and so much more. See you bright and early Wednesday morning! Grant K. Gibson thrives on projects […]
Inspiration
This week I was inspired by pops of color in these great red bar stools, tiger Scalamandre fabric (for recovering benches for a current project), and a great backsplash detail in Calacutta marble (for a client’s powder room.) I always love seeing options side-by-side when picking ‘just the right’ stain for refinishing hardwood floors. I am excited […]
Riad Porte Royale: An Oasis of Simplicity
I have to be honest: I am picky about where I rest my head at night. Poor quality bedding, a bad shower and towels the size of postage stamps just don’t cut it for me. Camping isn’t exactly my thing. Sadly, my budget doesn’t always allow for the finest establishments, so it forces me to be more […]
Architectural Digest
People often ask me how I got into design. As far back as I can remember, copies of Architectural Digest were always laying around house. Stacked in the bookcases of the wood paneled library with the white spines and black lettering. The collections dated back for years. Even at an early age these magazines […]
Inspiration
Lately I feel like I’m always covered in construction dust. Being part of project from the beginning and designing every step of the way can be both a challenge and an inspiration. I have always been in love with this German Silver sink and thrilled that a client is putting it her kitchen. The movement […]
Morocco
I am back from my travelling adventures half way across the world. San Francisco to Paris to Marrakech to Fez and all the way back home. My bags are overflowing and my brain is on overload with the visuals. All I could think about while turning each corner: how was it that I had not […]
