Gorgeous texture

It always amazes me how a little texture can add so much warmth to a space. I love the walls in wood and all of the contrasts!

So you know how you love a photo of a room and you are a little surprised when you see the entire space, well I am sure you have seen this one before but I came across all of the photos together on pinterest and I am so in love with this space still!!! It is so dreamy!

It was featured in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles back in 2007 and it is still one of my all time favorites so many years later.

Happy Saturday!!

Light Oak Wood Flooring

I have had wood flooring on my mind this week as I am specifying a big design job and have chosen to use a light oak wood flooring. The flooring pictured above is by far one of my favorites and I have used it several times over the years. We are debating on the chevron or some other pattern for the space as it is quite large. I am looking to install this same floor in my Living and Dining area in the coming months also- which I am even more excited about. Do you have a favorite that you have used? If you do I would love to hear about it!

unplanned...

I love the idea that design would be unplanned.. I guess that then you would call it something else right? Because Design is really the idea of planning out the space..

Inspiration (commercially speaking)

I am knee deep in the process of designing a commercial space right now and I am completely inspired by the work of AvroKO. We are taking the darker library approach with an industrial modern twist. I am excited to use some wood flooring treatments for paneling on the walls and adding a brick to the space to create a sense of age that is not already there. All of the details are like a layering effect in the space. I have found so many ideas and they are all swimming around up there just waiting to get down on paper and made in physical forms.

It should be fun to say the least!

Chevron and Herringbone wood floors...

I have said it before and I will say it again. I love the look of Chevron and Herringbone wood flooring.. as I love the fact that the French find it to be equally important in their beautiful apartments! The floor makes the simplicity of this space just absolute perfection.

I have been daydreaming about wood flooring for our house for the past week or two.. keeping my fingers crossed that I can have some in before the holidays!

Thanks for the note... on the flooring style... sometimes I am too quick with the typing!!!

Contrasts and texture..

I love the contrast between the grey and the black and the texture of of the wood... so wonderful!

Hope you are having a great start to the week!

greige in style...

The lovely Marie was sweet enough to send me a link to this beautiful pictorial on her home!

What an amazing job she has done in renovating the 100 plus year old home and making it into a modern eclectic space. Her use of soft colors is just perfection!
