Feeling a bit under the weather today... too many plans can make you tired I think.  

This would be the perfect place to take a few hours and leisurely read with a big cup of tea.

Wishing you a restful Saturday!

A little inspiration for a Friday.  This is an inspiration board from my presentation this week.  I fell for the easy semi masculine feel of this one.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend and thanks for sharing a little bit of your day with me here, it is so nice to be able to share my work and ideas with everyone.

Hello there, sorry for my absence yesterday... how quickly the days seem to pass.  Another busy week is almost ready to be put to rest and I am definitely dreaming of the weekend.  This weekend will be just us girls relaxing here at home, my daughter and me.  I am excited to take a little break from work and spend some time getting the house in order.  

We start our final round on the kitchen renovation next week and I am excited and anxious about it.  There are still many choices to be made, that is how it is works around here.  I did speak with my furniture maker yesterday though and we are going to put a contrasting color in the new piece that will hold all of my everyday dishes, now someone needs to pick that color please!

I have pulled a bunch of greys, and greiges to start with.  I will be sure to keep you up to date on all of the selections.  

 I am also working with the wonderful Shari from Little Blue Deer on a makeover for the blog, it will be fun to have a fresh new look around here don't you think?

Also, a little bit of a delayed THANK YOU to Leaf Magazine for including some pieces from the shop in their current issue!

Ahh,  a few little snaps from my final install of last week.  It was nice to put the major part of the work behind me.  There are always little changes to be made and switch outs that need to happen as with all installs.  It seems that inevitably there is something that arrives broken, in the wrong color or just does not arrive at all, and you have to be able to make the decision on a moments notice as to whether making a switch will change your vision for the project or if it will make it even better. 

There is nothing relaxing or easy about the install days, it is a bunch of work with the greatest of rewards- a finished project!

Yesterday morning we went to the small flea market in downtown Anaheim, there was not much for me at the flea market but I fell in love with the new shops in the area.  This little cafeteria style restaurant was one of the best local designs I have seen lately.  LOVED the doors and windows along with the tile detailing and furnishings.  A great concept and very well done.  There are 3 eateries in the space and then there is communal seating inside and out.   

 

It is a little hard to tell from the photos but the front of the building is curved which I love loved.

Need to make some of these for outside at our house!

I love the whimsical feel in this bath.  The sink put me over the edge.  I think that little bit of softness makes this room feel so great.  Wishing you a wonderful Saturday!  Is it really fall?  I am not so sure here in California it is 90 today.

Atelier de Campagne is getting ready for another container sale and it is this weekend!  I so wish I could go and see all of the great pieces that the boys have found for the fall.  Their sales always seem to fall on my daughter's birthday weekend... so I have yet to attend one.  But that is no reason for you to miss out.  If you can stop by their sale this weekend you have to let me know what you got.

Please find more information about them here.

Well another set of installs are done.. mostly.  We had no window coverings but hey those will be there on Friday and then I can take a bit better pictures.  That is the hardest part I think about installing design jobs is getting everything to come together on time and in the correct condition.  Inevitably something goes wrong but you learn to improvise and sometimes it ends up being better because you are actually in the space. 

I was pretty pleased with these spaces over all.  We still have things to add and things to finish up but it was a good day of work.

If you want to see more photos you can check on instagram here or @greigedesign.

Just a little sneak peek at my installations from yesterday.  As always there are a few mis-steps here and there but everything went pretty well and I was pretty happy with how it went.

Wouldn't this be just perfect for a Monday morning?  I think yes, and the hydrangea in the background make it just about perfection!  Wishing you a wonderful start to the week, because you  know that makes the rest so much better.

We are knee deep in decisions for the kitchen remodel here at home and I am finding more and more things that I love..  The detail on the interior of this cabinet is so pretty! I love the color with the dark exterior finish, I want it.   I have also been looking for tables and this one makes my heart skip a beat the twist on the original makes me so want it too... humm.

 What do you think?  I am hoping that next week I will have more time to put together some posts that are more interesting!!  When I have presentations and installations back to back it seems to use up all of my creative powers!

Oh my goodness friends... it has been quite a week!  I know it's not over but it is coming to an end right?  I am not complaining (much) this first full week of school for the kids and a ton have work are really taking their toll.  

It's funny, when life is crazy busy I seem to think of more things to add to the list, I want to have a party and I cannot get it off of my mind!  Okay I will stop with the rambling and imagine myself in this space with the touch of greenery to sooth my wild brain.
