Bottle Bottoms On The Wall

I thought this was wild.

Bottle Bottoms on a wall.

Very effective!

I think there could have been a better choice as far as the sink & faucet go.

How great would this be behind or on a bar wall?

Your Thoughts?

Blue and Green Interiors, Walls, & Carpets In Tangiers

I fell INTO 

this group of images.

Originally from World Of Interiors.

I found them on  http://trouvais.com/

I just wanted to be INSIDE these rooms. 

As of late ...

I have begun to understand the color blue a bit more.

I even want to work with it.

Honestly....

throughout my career I am guilty of steering my clients away from it.

But look at this unbelievably beautiful carpet.

The colors!!!!

A feast!

In the past when forced to work with blue 

I have usually done everything in blue and white fabrics including pale naturals

with marigold walls.

I have loved green since I was a little girl.

So ...

blue and green is a natural and beautiful combination for me.

What ever took me so long

to come around to the deep and rich hues of blue ?

I am sure it is from my early days in design 

when women would want blue & mauve/pink together.

It made me outright sick.

So Much To Do.....

and so little time.

I have recently developed this horrific back-ache in my lower back.

I have never had a back ache before-

It started 3 weeks ago and has not given up.

OUCH.

It wears on me...

and can distract me like so many other things.

Yesterday was Sunday {I take Sunday and Mondays off}

and I unplugged....

my phone, computer, and stayed in bed after I took a walk.

{thinking exercise might work it out}

It did not help.

Today is my 'day 2' of my time off from my work week.

I have to get with the party planners for the up-coming 

American Cancer Society of Boca Raton's Big Gala in April.

I have taken on the job of planning and the set design of it all.

I am very happy to do so.

You can certainly say that I am honored and excited about the theme; 

'A Nite in Paris'.

It is right up my alley!!!!

This is where the image comes in....

I just have to tell myself to slow down and

take it easy.

I don't want to get frazzled and drive off with my wallet or laptop

on the hood of my car.

Can you relate to a time 

when you were thinking of where you were going...

rather than where you were? 

I need to look down at mt feet occasionally

to focus on where I am!!!

I was thinking...after today's work day....

That this might make for a fun space to gather 

{us bloggers}

have our laughs 

and share our totally brilliant ideas.

And just truly unwind.

Would you come if you could?

And when we were done....I would be exausted.

I run across a short meadow and find this cabin.

I spy the porch and the baby bed 

so I fall fast asleep in it with the warm breezes rolling across me.

Just Divine.

I can't however get The American Cancer Society 

out of my head.

I am doing the design of the event.

It is a night in PARIS.

This is the once a year big gala.

For The  America Cancer Society Of Boca  Raton in April. 28. 2012

I may have Hoda, and Donny Deutsch coming.

This would be a real moulon rouge feather in my cap.

No?

Key West Home - Don't You Wish You Were There About Now?

Key Lime Chic!!!

The designers at 

Taylor and Taylor in Miami Occasionally knock my socks off.

I felt that I had to share this residence with you

Yellow is such a friendly color.

It seems to work with so many different colorways.

And always ELEGANT.

This is the front door.

Is this charm or what?

Don't you wish you here?

Since I completely shredded my ELLE mag...

this was on 2 pages and I photo-shopped it together for you.

I did not do a great job.

I did the same with this image as well.....

it is not as cleanly put together as it could be.

But,

I know you get the idea.

I like the floor.

I am always doing black and white....

this I think is more livable for most.

Don't you think?
