tall.. dark.. and...

 

Sometimes you come across a board that makes your heart jump, well I do.  I am completely smitten with this one!   I love it.. and the way it let's me dream of dark and masculine spaces.

Wishing you a dreamy Tuesday day!

 

Black Paneling

 
I love the impact the black makes in this space, an amazingly clean and simple backdrop for the wood detailing in the furnishings.  Just perfect.  I am also a sucker for hidden doors and the continuation of color onto the floors.  Could you handle the drama of black in your home?

botanicals..

 

These pieces are so fantastic.  It is always interesting to me how I can like so very many things.  I like some more than others but generally I like a lot of things a lot.  Does that even make sense?  I am not sure but I don't find many things in design that I just don't like at all.  

Sorry rambling here! Point is I really like these.. what about you?  I don't often see the vintage botanicals with a black matting, what a wonderful discovery these must have been.

California style {Ryan Murphy at home in Hollywood}

 

Ryan Murphy and David Miller's California home is the perfect mix of old California and new.  I love the clean lines of the kitchen mixed with the rustic table and it's wood and leather chairs. Each space seems to pull it off perfectly with a simple palette and clean white walls.

interior design by Cliff Fong

 

always inspired...

 

It seems an odd thing to be inspired by just interior design photos.  I love so many things and there are so many things that inspire.  Don't you agree?  I love the texture and the color combos in these pictures, those types of ideas carry through into design ideas and take shape in interiors.  Just some food for thought.  What inspires you?

Good Food Center Street Anaheim

Yesterday morning we went to the small flea market in downtown Anaheim, there was not much for me at the flea market but I fell in love with the new shops in the area.  This little cafeteria style restaurant was one of the best local designs I have seen lately.  LOVED the doors and windows along with the tile detailing and furnishings.  A great concept and very well done.  There are 3 eateries in the space and then there is communal seating inside and out.   

 

It is a little hard to tell from the photos but the front of the building is curved which I love loved.

Need to make some of these for outside at our house!

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday!

black and light..

 

I am completely loving these pics.  Totally smitten with the details in black, I think they make the spaces.  I cannot believe we are already at Friday!!  I hope you have amazing plans for the weekend or no plans at all which is pretty amazing in itself!

library details

 

I love the feeling of this library area, it is exposed to the fresh air and sunlight.  It seems like the perfect spot to relax and read.  I also love the way that the books are stacked in disarray like there are just too many to organize.  

 

Clean lines and linen...

I fell deeply in love with this home.  Absolutely amazing!  The mix of the linen, clean lines and heavy contrast make it so relaxing and beautiful.
