| I'm travelling on the train heading down the coast and finally have time to share a few recent photos. This series is from a clients and although I'm helping her with other spaces in the house this one she's done herself I simple helped her with the paint. |
 |
| We used a bright coral pink in segments behind her storage creating a feminine and fresh place where she can be still. |
 |
| She has great style to her painting. I'm trying to talk her into selling them out of my studio. |
 |
| The fossil stone has been added for the counter tops. It's a gorgeous lime stone. Yes, the client is comfortable with a soft stone on the counter top. We'll seal it to protect the pores surface. The Europeans use this type of stone or a marble in their kitchens all the time, the patina is gorgeous with use. Don't be afraid of it! I've used it in two of my kitchens and plan on using it again in our current kitchen, when we are able to renovate it. |
 |
| Doors have been installed on the cabinets. The splash of slate, limestone and glass mosaic tiles bring in a touch of color of aquas, teals, turquoise and a variation of grey tones. The Jenn Air counter top range has a self filtering down draft system. |
 |
| The island is cherry finished by Miguel his work is perfection! |
 |
| I've integrated bead board at the knee space of the island and behind the cantilevered shelves flanking the window and stainless farm house sink. |
 |
| Our attention to detail is noted here. Working with Fredrick and Kevin has been the best thing I have done in my professional career. Our collaboration has proven to be a great blend of creativity, and professionalism. The three of us have a clear direction of what is important on a project, making a home which reflects the clients sense of style and comfort. |

| The color for fall is amethyst. I had the opportunity to visit the San Diego International Flower Market and found these large and glorious hydrangeas. This amethyst range of color is wonderful and rich. Rich burgundy to a burnt green color they're so spectacular. |

 |
| Our home is a studio house much like a studio apartment, it is simple and warm and full of love. Love of family, love of my spouse and love for what I do, design. |
 |
| Our table for two, the base is a Hendredon piece and the top was made for me by my husband. A grey linen textile, which I bought at a Paris Flea Market, drapes across it. Naturally shed antlers are another of my husband's finds. Like a little boy he loves to bring home found objects from his excursions. Crystal candle sticks and a silver serving tray add the feminine details. The best rooms, to my eye, always mix the masculine with the feminine. |
 |
| We have done nothing with the floors which is a montage of several types. Could be worse though, we did rip out hunter green carpeting at move in. |
 |
| Shades of grey always work to create a serene, and warm environment. My absolute favorite. |
 |
| The card is an anniversary card from my husband's Mom (love her), a little boy in his dingy kissing a girl. Later I'll post the photo I have of Craig at eight years of age in his first boat, a dingy . |

| The Shop was ready for this 4th of July. I dressed it as everyone was dressed in celebration of our Country's Birthday. There's nothing like a parade in a small town like Cayucos it shows a town's pride and it's sense of humor. My favorite float: the men's synchronized swimmers! And all the children dressed in their red, white and blue. The town starts setting up their folding chairs on the parade route down Ocean Avenue two day before... love it! |
