Strawser & Smith Aluminum Chair
The industrial looking aluminum chairs by Strawser & Smith are a sturdy welcome addition to any transitional space. The wider girth of these chairs look quite comfortable for an all metal construction.
French Kitchen Island
I love the simplicity of this Carrara topped island. The little details on the antiqued cast steel legs give this island a french feel. An open concept bottom is nice too, for either easy to spot goods or you could set a stool on either side and allow for leg room since the supports run near the middle. Since marble has a wonderful heat conductivity, it is often seen in bakeries for quick cooling, and the natural veining is gorgeous. Just watch the wine glass, since marble is porous too!
Stir Up Some Fun!
Stir up some fun with custom stir sticks from the awesome Etsy community, or the Fred’s Cool Jazz Ice Stir Sticks. Just pour water in the cube tray and serve at your next party! I could see this used at a rock themed pre-teen party with grape guitar ice cubes served in Lemonade! Drinks up! $10.00 CA at bergo.ca
Aqua Kitchen Inspiration
Small appliances are a fantastic way to add a shock of colour or add primary direction for a kitchen palette. Incorporate a fun colour in your kitchen cabinetry as a painted back bead-board like in this kitchen, or through small appliances like the Kitchenaid stand mixer– it is available in 27 colours like pistachio or persimmon.
Schumacher Print Banquette
The height and visual interest in the banquette backing in a casual dining spot anchors and sets the stage for this serene pale turquoise kitchen. Tobi Fairley used this stunning Schumacher print in such a fantastic way. Just as an upholstered headboard acts as a focal point in the bedroom, this fabric panel seems inviting and just gorgeous. See more of this kitchen in this article by At Home In Arkansas.
Serenity Bath by Aqautic
What is black and white and oh so nice? This freestanding bath tub by Aquatic! The Serenity 11 is available in many different colour combinations, and as an air bath as well. It is stunning in black and white, especially here combined with a venetian mirror leaning on an off-white painted and panelled wall, and black and white marbled floors.
Byron Wing Chair
Architectural Digest recently wrote an article featuring the stunning home of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne in Hidden Hills, California. The light and airy feel of their living room is light-heated and calming. The one thing that stood out the most to me was the eye-catching profiles of the Martyn Lawrence-Bullard designed wing chairs. They act as an anchor in the room, deepening the tone and punctuating the light washes of colour.
Get This Look: Earthy Powder Room
The outdoor scenery surrounding this powder room in Beaver Creek, Colorado is the catalyst for the rustic yet refined design by Billy Beson. Bringing the elements of earth into this space feels so natural, just look at the fantastically textured vanity stone basin with polished top, organically shaped quarts light pendants, twig shaped door handle, and plastered and warm honey-colored walls. Can you get this look? Absolutely.
Mirrored Mosaic Tiles
Nothing compares to the reflection of natural light and the purity and serenity it implies. That is certainly the case in the Alcove Suite at the Royalton Hotel in New York. Designed by Philippe Starck, the tub surround is studded with mirrored tiles. It is just magical. A monochromatic scheme or very neutral palette works best when using a lot of mirror, otherwise, you may get a look that is way too busy.
