Christopher Peacock's gorgeous grey and white kitchen

This kitchen is my dream right now! The clean crisp feeling of the cabinetry with the grey paint!  Love the hanging lights and the modern twist with the table and chairs!  Perfection!

David Met Nicole- At Home

A while back I came across one of my new favorite shops {it would be more favorite if I could ever ever visit} David met Nicole.  They have an amazing eye for the unusual and the fun side of design.  Love them!  Here are some pictures of their home..  Love that too...

Design ideas from Darryl Carter..

It is possible that I am a little obsessed with Darryl Carter... but I saw this short video and I thought that you might enjoy another peek at his amazing house and hearing what he has to say about color and design.

Also, in a side note you can grab a copy of his book from Amazon on the side bar on the left...

More great clips from Sonu and Darryl here

A Little more Darryl Carter...

I found these cool little numbers on his site..I am sure we have all seen the bath before but I am in love with the lounge in the top photo and the pics of the puppy..

Darryl Carter - The New Traditional home - Keeping it simple and interesting

I cannot tell you how long I have been looking for these pictures... I pulled them out of the Elle Decor I had and somehow misplaced them.  I was so happy to run across them on their site.. Now I can share how much I simply adore them with you. 

Each image just seems so relaxed and planned but unplanned.  Darryl Carter's talent makes me have faith in great design.  The bedroom and bath in the first two pictures are my absolute favorite..

Am I too simple?  I love the bathroom and the view the most!  What do you think the White House looks like?

A little more Dan Marty

I was so excited to come across these and other photos with more detail on Dan Marty's home and his new shop on The New Victorian Ruralist {which is new to me}...

Hamptons Redo from Haynes- Roberts design

Is in not just beautiful.  The library is to die for and the table and chairs... and the floor that is a whole other story!

Dan Marty Design and Maison au Natural- then and now

Dan Marty then...

NOW...

Dan Marty is one of my all time favorite designers and shop keepers and has been for a very long time.  At one time he owned a shop in Costa Mesa called Les Interiors and that is where I feel in love.  His look makes me feel comfortable and alive.  Yesterday I came across an old publication that showed his home when he lived in Orange County.  (I am sorry it was just a torn out piece with no label on it.)  To look at his home then and now is really fun.  He carried so many of his treasures over and I love that.  Things can look wonderful mixed and moved.  The bottle collections and the lamps and don't forget the beautiful bamboo bed that has a new look.  The thing is that I still love the old look too.  Just amazing the slight progression but not a major change like we often see with designers.  I am looking forward to the opportunity to see his new store in LA.  Maison au Natural I am sure it is just wonderful too!
