Finding inspiration at the LA mart... January

I truly enjoy going to market, no matter where you go it is very inspirational.  There are so many talented creative minds that work on the showrooms it is really a treat to see most of the time.  This past weekend we visited the LA Mart for the show and found some great new pieces and some really great displays.  

Two's and Tozai never disappoint!  This book display was amazing!

 

The Walls in this room were painted gold and were super cool.

 

Love the paper runner- great idea!

 

I think I need this even if I have no place for it, so sculptural and cool!

 

Our best seller the star pendant with mirror.. love!

 

This is my favorite chandelier and I have been desperately trying to find a special place for something like this.. I know that one day it will happen.

I am off to Las Vegas for the furniture show there today, wish me luck!

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?

Quick peek at Atlanta loves..

 

Just a quick peek at my weekend in review from my instagram pics of Atlanta.

I had a really great time and was very happy with my first trip to the show.  There were so many fun new vendors to discover and meet.  As I sift through my pile of emails and catch up on everything here at the office I promise to post more on the great displays and lines that were there.

there has been talk...

Over the past few weeks there has been talk of one of my favorite places in the world..  there has been talk of France and Paris around here.  We have been talking about taking sometime and visiting and shopping to bring things back from this place that I love.  My heart beats a little faster each time it comes up.  Yes there are projects here and there are many many things going on but when talk like this starts a girl cannot help but to get excited and her brain starts to really turn and see what can be done.  It is a little dream of mine and I am going to make it work.... soon.

These are some images of my last trip to Paris (I have many so I hope I have not shared any of these before) and they bring back memories.  Wishing you a wonderful day filled with talk of the future!

Design Inspiration right now...

 

So I am curious... where do you find your design inspiration?  I am hearing whispers that the blogs are taking a backseat to Pinterest ...  What do you think?

You know I love me some Pinterest around here but really I find that photos that are arranged in a post with some text are equally inspiring and it is always nice to see some new photos that seem to come only from blogs and other sites.. and the interaction is so much fun!

Just checking - which way are you going?

Gardens of Portugal

I was just remembering a wonderful garden that I visited in Portugal a few years back.  Day dreaming about it really.  It was the most amazing place that I think I have ever been to.   These are just a few pictures of the many many structures that made up the space.  It was something that we just happened upon after lunch one day.  Our waiter at lunch recommended that we go by and see it and we spent much of the afternoon exploring the huge terraced grounds and taking photos. 

It reminds me of the coming of Spring and inspires me to get outside and make some changes!
