Gingham On My Mind!

The Gingham pattern is versatile, timeless and classic. It’s not just for little girl bedrooms. At the moment you can literally find Gingham everywhere. While some may say it’s a trend I beg to disagree and Gingham will forever be found in my home … somewhere!

Finding Cool Pieces!

I love a good consignment, thrift or antique store shop. Finding one of kind art, furniture or home accessories gives me a designer high! I found this awesome lucite magazine rack at a local salvage shop here in Sarasota. I walked passed it twice and then grabbed it! It’s one of those pieces that just makes me happy. There are no rules to design just make your space a place you love and feel proud of.

Swag Bag for Guests!

A little treat to welcome our guests at Four Palms. For my sister’s visit, I went a little kitschy with some quintessential items from our local surf shop. Florida Orange Bubble Gum in the mini carton (takes us back to our childhood vacationing in Melbourne Beach, FL), a Siesta Key koozie for those cold beverages, hydrating water, and animal crackers as a homage to Sarasota’s rich circus history.

Keep it Simple!

Long story short we had to tear up the flooring in 1/2 the house due to a horrible install so we did a little revamp of the girl’s room. New porcelain tile, fresh paint, and dismantled the bunks! I repurposed the top bunks and wallpapered the foot and headboards. I think the end result is adorable! Fresh and clean!

Paint: Benjamin Moore Pure White

Casey Key Color Palette Inspiration

A form of therapy for me is early mornings on Casey Key shark tooth hunting. The surroundings may have a lot to do with it; from the aqua color of the gulf to the perfect little shells, and pelicans diving for a fresh catch, and of course the dolphins I find great solitude and peace in these moments. This paint palette comes from my most recent outing on the key. I plopped myself down on the sand and just looked around at all the natural tones surrounding me and thought how glorious is nature! I hope these colors inspire you!

All paint selections are Benjamin Moore.

PA Project Foyer

Design Consulting is my absolute favorite! It can be as simple as taking a tired home to the next level via paint, flooring, and lighting all very simple projects one can tackle on your own or with a little help.

The new black and white marble floor is timeless and our paint selection is for a deep foresty green. I pushing for clients to paint walls and trim the same color! Let’s see if they go for it!

Progress!
