Step out of your comfort zone and try something new! I’ve never seen this before, but I love how all the colors come together so perfectly in this photo taken by David Christiansen. The blue shade on the ceiling creates the illusion of added height, and invigorates the white cabinets and rustic yellow toned wood floor.

I was recently in Santa Barbara when I got a chance to see my cousin and his fiance’s newly remodeled 3 bedroom house. With Greg’s vision, he made some major changes to the layout (knocking down walls), kitchen (new cabinets, countertops, and appliances), and floors (my favorite!). With a modern theme throughout, they used a beautiful square edged Kahrs hardwood with tones of white and gray. The countertops and backsplash consist of a beautiful carrera marble that go perfectly with the light gray walls.

Form and function, this dining room table is a must have for entertainers. The sheer size is not only a piece of art, but is great to have when entertaining friends and family. I love the single bench idea too! The solid wood table top ads character and a uniqueness that you can’t find with other dinner tables.

Ok, so it’s not exactly french, but it does have some “french-esque” characteristics. My friends, Jayce and Rob , just moved up to Newport into an amazing beach house. Complete with bamboo floors and a front patio, Jayce and Rob definitely found a gem. One aspect of the condo that I especially enjoy is the door. Not only is it painted black, but it allows you to keep the top open on those sunny days.
