Monday Inspiration

Well, it’s Monday again and I’ve found some great inspiration for the week.

I mentioned that Jaime and I are re-vamping our studio last week. We have two vanity cabinets that we plan on putting some type of board on the top of, maybe an old door or something, and using as our desk for the office station of our studio. Because our studio has been donated, we can’t paint or hang much on the walls. There is only so much we can do in the way of decoration. So, we decided to paint the vanities in some funky, bohemian style. It’s not often when we get to paint something without the direction and/or limitation of someone else,so we kind of go crazy when we get that chance.

I was looking at Kimono prints online. Have you ever studied the prints on these? Oh my, they are so beautiful. Each one is like its own piece of art. The colors and design are so breathtaking. Along the way, I found this great Geisha Flower Silk Robe at VivaTerra. I would love to lounge around my home in this!

The kitchen above is a great example of some of the homes we have been working on lately. The new trend in paint color… brown! In fact, I painted my own Dining Room brown and I adore it. I want to spread it through out my house now. And look at that island. WOW! It’s more like a continent, right? I could do some fabulous baking on a work station that size. You can find more at House Beautiful.

And while I am lounging around in my Geisha robe in this fabulously large brown and white kitchen, I think I might take time to do a short travel. For that I need a bag, right? How about this cute Duffel Bag from Toss!

Don’t Forget our exclusive interview with Kim Parker THIS WEEK!

You are more than welcome to take our rain! It is pouring tonight!!! No pool for you! (said in Seinfeld, “no soup for you” vain). Brown… now there’s a thought. You have your finger on the pulse! A-M xx
