Today, January 24, 2012 I am finally sitting down to write a Happy New Year Post. What’s that you say? New Years was over 3 weeks ago? Well, yes, this is true and I am afraid this does not bode well for my New Years resolution, which is is simply “DO IT NOW”
full disclosure: I stole this from a friends pin board - i like it much better than the over used Keep Calm poster.
But, alas, It’s been a busy year so far and I’ve been knee deep in some new design projects. One of which is a new outdoor space for some clients who have a myriad of different tastes that need to be blended in to a space they can all share. I actually this they have chosen a perfect time to focus on their outdoor space. I know in most of the country it is freezing cold outside and the last thing that people are thinking out is the ideal spring/ summer outdoor space; BUT, there are always lead times and waits for things – especially in the beginning of summer when everyone is thinking about creating their perfect outdoor living area – and starting now means that once the weather warms up you will be ready to go!
These are a few of my favorite inspiration images so far:
I love this shade structure, we are thinking about using a very similar design – especially because I just finished another project for this client (I can’t really talk about it – yet – but stay tuned. it was SO SO FUN and turned out SO well) where we incorporated bamboo. They have similar exposed beams in both the main and guest houses so I really want to continue to use that architectural language in the outdoor living space.
whereas the image above this one is perfect for one of my clients – this is perfect for another. I’m trying to fuse the two into something that makes everyone happy.

this last one is a fabulous idea. I might do something similar except instead of the inset succulant garden I might custom build a table with a Brasa XL Burner Insert installed – talk about a dramatic dinner!
That’s just little taste of what I’ve been looking at this winter.
Can’t complain.
So much more to share shortly – Been working on a sleek, masculine, luxe bedroom that I’ll post pictures of when it is done ( probably about 2 months away) and a super fun, modern dining area that we are just accessorizing.
