Hot Spots

So I got to have a free weekend not to long ago (that is minus my three angel babes) with my sweet man of mine, we tottered around town to some places I've been eager to visit.  First off it was NEST Modern.  Great design choices and a great staff.  I had so many questions and they offer many choices as far as furniture finishes and textile choices {love!}.  So I found a few treats I brought home tear sheets for.  An option for a more modern wing back..

The McCartney chair 

The Rex bench 

Plus we enjoyed perusing the gallery show room of Jean Marc Frey Antiques & Modern Interiors.  I was a baby in a candy store{literally}.  Totally consued in the history & quality craftsmanship in these terrific treasures, I wanted almost all I saw to be mine {Travis had to tell me "no" a few times}.  The local art alone was beautiful and inspiring but we would have to go hungry some months to own a piece.  

Can you see some of the fun from one of the mirror reflections?

Treasures that wet the appetite. (It's constantly changing with new inventory, truly it never ceases to amaze me.)

Then for the cherry on our weekend cake we enjoyed textiles at Wildflower Organics.  Another shop in which I could stay in forever.  The quality, the care, the resourcesfulnees and beauty..  It's a need to stop and shop at spot.  They offer beautiful pieces for many great furnture makers, fantastic choice in bedding textiles and some sweet treasure for you and your newest additions to the family with nursery accessories.  It's a treat to visit!

Love weeknds with my sweetheart.

How much wood would a wood chuck chuck..?

I am a trendy gal but sometimes every now and then I like to try something slightly irregular.  Is light wood floors irregular?  no, I guess not.. but it's not the favored dark color scheme that has been so regularly used.  I've discovered about myself that I love high contrasting things but I also relish the monochromatic scene to. Who doesn't like the drama contrasting hues show & then serentity muted colors evoke? Here I go on my soapbox.. just a few images from pinterest that may end up covering my homes concrete slab.  & right now these are king.

It's the oak floors that seem to be the star in most my photo likes.. Oak floors with some type of wash; white wash, gray wash something that mutes the wood tones ever so slightly.  Also what I learned is your finish needs to include a coat of non- yellowing solution. {I am sure most floor installers are familiar with this.} Plus the biggest complaint most home owners with dark wood floors is the obvious sight of dust bunnies.. if I can hold off my dust bunny attack one more day, then maybe it was worth it.
So here we go, another design choice checked off my list!
