It's Officially Summer!



 
this is def a case where  picture says a thousand words.  what an extravaganza, some how my beautiful car always turns into the family pick up truck.  I've had full pieces of wooden fence, slabs of marble and real live palm trees, not to mention 2 large doggies...this is a classic case of the man in my life saying "I got it, don't worry"...cant blame the man for trying and the new grill made it home in one piece.  His chicken didn't stand a chance but he's working on it.

Fashion Meets Finish - NJ IIDA 2014

this years IIDA Fashion Meets Finish, NJ 2014 [LIVING ART] @ Kean University was awesome! what a great experience. we always have such a fantastic time bringing our concept to life and this year was no different. putting in a little over 100 hours during the last 3 months was well worth the work. about 20 design industry teams paired up with material vendors to create a fashion statement using only the raw materials provided from your partner. the sponsors vary from carpet to laminates to office furniture (sargenti's sponsor) to lighting fixtures. once you're paired up, then you're off to the races! it's a mad dash to the finish line. we were gluing and sewing up until the last few minutes..  but nicole rocked the runway!!! click here for a youtube teaser to the show

Summer Blues

summer is approaching!!! and we are anything but blue about it. these baby blues are sure to inspire your nautical side and just in time. enjoy soaking up the sun but while you're outside this summer, don't forget to add some fun pops of seaside decor to the interior of your space.







beautiful beachwood



here's a very unique piece and what a great conversation starter. i am prob going 
        to purchase in the next few days. it fits all the requirements: big, bold, fun, and timeless

this contrast is stunning, i'm thinking about using this color scheme 
@ my house (blk wht & gld)




i've always loved this.. here's a pic of my parents front door
 (we added this when my brother was in the navy, very chic)
