Great Gifts {design library}

 I love nothing more than a good design book (okay well maybe jewelry) but they are on the top of my gift list all the time.  I love to give and recieve them!!!  Every great designer has tons of them and why shouldn't we be the same way?  These are some of my favorite new books and some that are on my wish list this Christmas!

 

You can click on any cover to see details and pricing.

Enjoy!

{shop design} Joe's Jeans South Coast

 

I was working earlier this week (honestly working) and stopped for lunch in South Coast Plaza.  I was so excited to see that they had finally opened the Joe's Jeans shop.  From my lunching vantage point I was able to see there fun window display of hanging vintage items.  Loved that!

I was lucky enough to be able to chat with the sales people in the shop about design and the great look they had going on.  I cannot wait to see what they have in store for the holiday displays.  

They did a great job of mixing vintage and new and the texture in the space was so well used.  I completely loved the rainbow colored jean wall.

 

Their room within the space was created from vintage windows and doors painted in a heavy white.

happy weekend...

 

Thank goodness we are onto the weekend again.  Although there does not seem to be an end in site for our busy fall season I do have hope that our home will soon be back to normal.  Things are moving along well in the kitchen and the flooring is completely in.  We just have painting to go and  a few little things here and there.  

How are things shaping up for you this fall?  Does it seem that there is not a dull moment in any season as of late?  I feel like we are all go go go around here.

Masculine & transitional...

 

A little inspiration for a Friday.  This is an inspiration board from my presentation this week.  I fell for the easy semi masculine feel of this one.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for sharing a little bit of your day with me here, it is so nice to be able to share my work and ideas with everyone.

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!

Sunburst mirrors..

 

I cannot put my finger on it but there is something that I cannot resist about the sunburst mirror.  I love them right now, currently it is the rectangular pieces that have got me really hooked.  I love the variation in texture and color and the statement that they make.

This trend has been hanging on and I am so happy about it!

Do you like the sunburst mirror or do you think it has had it's current reign long enough?

 

Find out a bit more about the history of the sunburst mirror here..

Shop design {industrial mix}

 

I am completely in love with this shop!  I have a thing for a mix of home goods and fashion though.  I think that they go hand in hand and that typically those who love to decorate love to dress in a similar fashion.  Don't you think?  

This space is fantastic, one of those shops I could spend too much money in and come home feeling very inspired!  I love the way the bright colors of the clothing play off of the relaxed darker furnishings.
