This color bistro chair and table (at Bar Jules in San Francisco) just makes me happy. I am loving shades of fuchsia these days. Working on a framing project for some art… Speaking of colors. We are loving these bold and fresh fabrics for a client meeting.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I love the process of designing pillows. After completing a project, I enjoy working with clients on layering just the right fabrics. For this project, I love the glow of the saffron color on the Indian textile and the grey Greek key against the rich caramel linen. I’m currently designing custom […]

I love signage. Even graphic signs on the freeway. Last week I was able to check up on a few projects under construction in Carmel and catch up with some good friends over dinner and wine. Always a treat to get away even if just for the night. I love the smell of interesting and […]

Sometimes a picture can say a thousand words. Here are some photos from last week. Hope that you had a great weekend! The view from my client’s office, where we had a meeting. I don’t think that I could work there – as I would always be looking out the window! Blue and white […]
Inspiration
The last few weeks I have been really into color – and lots of it. Maybe I can feel spring just around the corner. I just love the blue of these antique foo dogs The crisp yellow of this garden stool The graphic blue and white zig zag table cloth (that is now covering […]

This winter, I have fallen in love all over again with grapefruit. I have been eating it for breakfast, putting it in salads and making cocktails (a bit of vodka and a splash of Saint Germain). There is something about the smell and the taste that is just intoxicating. Grapefruit always remind me of my […]
