iPhoto Dump

I am up to my elbows in project ideas for Baby Gahm. Really, I might be getting out of control. Here are some ideas dumped via my iPhone. HowAmIGoingToDoItAll????


Color swatches for the triangle quilt I want to make with my mama.



Here is the quilt pattern I found online. SO Cute. Going to tweak the colors to the above swatch colors.



Freaking adorable baby booties. Love the two-toned ones! I'm always looking for something to keep my hands busy in the evenings while watching TV.




I scored this heinous glider on Craigslist for $30- yep $30, ottoman included. Take it to my mom's over Thanksgiving to give it a new white coat of paint and freshly reuphosltered cushions. I'm thinking a charcoal grey would be perfect.




Dragged my sweet man to Kuhl Linscomb's kiddie section last weekend and he immediately LOVED this board book and asked to put it on the registry. My sweet non-conformist artist man.




Giraffes- so so cute.

Little Girls

Just indulging in a little daydreaming about Little Girl Gahm. We got to see her in an impromptu ultrasound this week (she's fine and I'm fine). Having lots of fun thinking about how to dress her, what she'll look like and what her little personality will be like. Only 4 more months!

Gilded Tribal Love


I think I found these images in Lonny or Rue of Jane from Sea of Shoes' hometour. I'm so jealous. The gilded opulence is a bit over the top, but dang, those Platner chairs, tribal flat woven rug, and fur are yummy.

Modern Farmhouse

Just wanted to share these beautiful images that have been circulating the blogosphere (thanks for Black Eiffel and Simple Lovely for sharing them too!). The Canadian House and Home 2012 Showhouse is stunning! The design of this modern farmhouse just goes to show that a clean aesthetic doesn't have to be stark to feel modern and urban.



Gorgeous exterior! I love the natural elements of stone and the lovely green landscaping with the metal roof and window frames. 
Design credit goes to LR Design Study for the interior design and Murakami Design for the archectectual design.  The PCM Project and Construction Management Group did a killer job executing the design too.




The family room has a palette of rich neutrals full of textures and variety of materials. I especially love the kilim rug and poufs (from West Elm).  
Sofa is from Ralph Lauren, coffee table from Michel Zelnik and drapery fabric from Kravet.



Great grey-washed entry table with a few sparse glazed urns and a large sepia toned photograph. Love the equestrian touch!



That door.... it gets me. 



One of my very favorite rooms in the space! That chandelier is amazing (Currey and Co). 
Table, slipcovered end chairs, Boo Boo & Lefty; side chairs,woven urns, ferns, wall cabinet, Cocoon Furnishings; artwork by Elsha Leventis, In2art Gallery;  demilune chest, Absolutely Inc.; mirror, Elte.



 The clean white marble with sooty black lower cabinets and no uppers is such a modern feel. 








 Love the faux Bertoia Chairs and Sarenin table.
Table, Elte; chairs, UpCountry.




The family room off from the kitchen is small, but soft and inviting.
Coffee table, West Elm; floor lamps, Pottery Barn; side chairs, TV easel, Elizabeth Interiors; side chairs' fabric, Designer Fabrics; sofa, Stacaro.




Again, I'm totally enamored with these doors. The exterior glass door system is also incredible- so much natural light!  
They are from NanaWall Systems; console, Crate & Barrel; artwork by Karen Whylie, Art Interiors.




Vibrant royal and clemintine colored study is so bright, but still works with the natural architectural elements. 
Sofa are from Crate and Barrel, armchairs from Coccoon Furnishings; coffee table, Hollace Cluny; throw pillow fabrics, Lee Jofa showroom; artwork by Annette Kraft van Ermel, In2art Gallery; metal doors, Bliss Nor-Am Doors & Windows.




Beautiful bedroom with seagrass rug, clean headboard (Elizabeth Interiors), industrial chandelier, and ghost chair paired with a farm house style desk.
Bedding quilts, throws, stump stools, chair, West Elm; floor lamps, clock, trunks, accent pillows, wire baskets, Pottery Barn; throw pillow, HomeSense; area rug, Elte;




Kid room is colorful and bright and still in line with the rest of the house.


I could totally live in this house. Could you? Too sparse? Not enough color? Too much?

Pretties

Just wanted to post some pretties today. I've been working on a bright white kitchen for a client that is going to be dreamy, but just needed a place to dump some pretty design ideas of a different feel and style.


Swooning over this dark kitchen! The designer, Tamara Kaye-Honey knocked out the dividing wall between living room and kitchen and make a room divider/bookcase/breakfast bar. Such a great idea for small spaces! I think I love the color combination most of all- that dark grey with the medium walnut wood and touches of brass. It's midcentury, but also modern and classic.




Modern dining room. Love everything: the chandelier, the chrome trim on the chairs, warm wood floors, grey leather, and the powder lilac paint color.





I'm always a sucker for anything zebra print (I wonder when I will get tired of it?)- such a graphic pop. But that built-in bar cabinet is so glam! Love the vintage-inspired wallpaper inside, and the brass on mirror accents outside!



I love how all the available surfaces are treated: orange lacquered ceiling, herringbone painted floor, and seagrass papered walls! Those funky chairs are a great silhouette too!



 That graphic painting- makes the neutral room, don't you think?

Ideas for Baby Gahm

    Baby Gahm
Made this moodboard for my ideas for Baby Gahm's nursery. Colors will change a bit once I know the gender. For instance, the Campaign Chest Ikea hack would be cobalt blue if baby is a boy and will stay raspberry if it's a girl.

Obsessed with this triangle quilt and am determined to make my own, again colors may change. I think it works with the geometric mobile too.

I want the walls a nice grey.

My mother in law bought me that poster for the artwork- it's the alphabet according to MCM designs.

I'm obsessed with giraffes for this baby- could be cute boy or girl. I've already purchased a Sophie, cuz I couldn't help myself. Too adorable.

 I also want to add some Scamp and Wanderlusters artwork too... maybe we'll use some of our personal photos from 2009.
