<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After a lot of consideration I have decided to stop blogging. It is time to move on to other pursuits and - sadly -</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> this is one thing I need to leave behind to make room for other dreams...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I started this little blog on a snowy winter day in Munich in December of 2009, never imagining all of the great things that it would bring to me. I have connected with many like-minded design enthusiasts around the world that made me laugh, think and grow my design-self. I have made so many wonderful friends - both virtual and in person - via this wonderful community of ours! I hope I have brought something fun, interesting and/or inspirational to each of you as well! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: center;">I am so grateful for all of the warmth, support, loyalty and enthusiasm all of you have shown me. Thank you so much for following along on this journey with me. I will miss you all!</span><br />

What a gorgeous city with tons of waterways and beautiful outdoor spaces, but also neighborhoods with beautiful homes! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We stumbled upon the most idyllic neighborhood near Kitsilano Beach while we were up there. I absolutely loved this neighborhood and here are some reasons why: The houses were large, but not ridiculously so. They were also all slightly different, but all in good taste (at least in my opinion!). I was impressed that they were all beautifully maintained - unlike in Seattle, where even in the nicest neighborhoods you get the occasional neglected home or eyesore. Lastly, they all had gorgeous gardens and charming tree lined streets. Let's take a look together, shall we? :)</span><br />

So glad you liked my post on a <a href="http://bjdhausdesign.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-way-cool-totally-hip-bachelor-pad.html" target="_blank">Bachelor Pad</a> the other day. I actually cobbled it together from a variety of sources - unfortunately that one doesn't exist all under one (probably penthouse) roof. But, wouldn't it be lovely if it did???!! Perhaps that design project is just around the corner for me...:)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For today's post I am going to depart from my normal - albeit already eclectic - style and serve up a few lovely Bohemian settings. All of these caught my eye. Maybe my wanderlust (more on that coming soon) is drawing me toward more of a gypsy-lifestyle inspired home. Not sure. Whatever it is, I'm enjoying it and thought I'd pass it along for a breath of fresh air! Enjoy...</span><br />

I already posted some of my favorite masculine spaces <a href="http://bjdhausdesign.blogspot.com/2011/06/masculine-rooms.html" target="_blank">here</a>.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hope you're having a lovely week so far. I haven't forgotten about all of you - or blogging - my mind has just been on other things lately and I have found it hard to get back to my computer on a regular basis. However, I thought you might enjoy something that has been on my mind, which is the idea of an all white (and green) garden. Take a look at some of these lovely examples and see what you think:</span><br />

Hope you had a great weekend. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sorry I've been a bit of a stranger. I have been quite busy doing a variety of design work, and when I'm not busy with that I am heading outside as much as possible! When the sun shines in Seattle, one has to seize the moment. :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We are fortunate to have water at every turn around here, so the beach has been enticing me to come near whenever I can. Today's post is all about little touches that I can enjoy to keep that feeling alive even when I can't have my toes in the sand. Enjoy!</span><br />

Today's post isn't related to interior design, but it is certainly related to beautiful design. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I had such a great experience on Saturday afternoon. We had a friend in town and we ended up going to the <a href="http://www.chihulygardenandglass.com/" target="_blank">Chihuly Museum of Garden and Glass</a>. I have long been a fan of Washington-born Dale Chihuly, but this museum blew.me.away. It was such a beautiful experience I just had to share it with all of you! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Take a look at a few of the pieces that we saw:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">His time spent growing up around Puget Sound influences his sea-inspired and native american work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Many of the installations were set in natural settings, reflective of his inspirations.</span></div>

Here are a few gorgeous examples of where shelving can be put to great use without sacrificing an ounce of style:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://media-cache-ak1.pinimg.com/736x/24/0d/81/240d815921bdeb8bba06ca1e4ee3c9e7.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">How adorable for a girl's room...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://media-cache-ec4.pinimg.com/736x/19/cb/dc/19cbdc2e3a9a780914d6244487e6b89c.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love to fill up a small pass-through space with something like this!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://media-cache-ak1.pinimg.com/736x/be/9f/d3/be9fd38e00a1c168af59bb76046be5bb.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">An added detail that introduces great depth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://media-cache-ak1.pinimg.com/736x/d7/97/71/d79771c2835dc846f063b2ba6cbaabb7.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I blogged about these <a href="http://bjdhausdesign.blogspot.com/2012/04/do-you-speak-espangolette.html" target="_blank">before</a>...I just love this floor to ceiling design with the great hardware.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm hoping a new construction or remodel client will want to do this very soon!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ca/c1/c5/cac1c5f8c002e8664efe0b2fb2521d57.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Probably my all time favorite bookshelf - for an office or living room. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Although built ins are great, the versatility that free standing shelving has is tempting for any client who wants flexibility in their designs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://media-cache-ec3.pinimg.com/736x/ca/7a/7f/ca7a7f44bb14afaa1064d1986b82a9af.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love that these shelves are only filled with BOOKS.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/25/58/2d/25582dfff79b5625077a4706d28eacf7.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Great detailing along the top.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/98/c9/e2/98c9e22a87a45d047d7ca4fd74647709.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A fresh take on the back of the shelf: reclaimed wood provides great texture and age.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://media-cache-ak1.pinimg.com/736x/e0/43/10/e0431031db885966de6b665c062699c5.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A beautiful option for a dining room!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoyed this post.</span></div>

Hope you had a great weekend. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today's post is about one of my favorite materials: Limestone. My love affair with it continues. You may have noticed that theme when I have posted in the past about <a href="http://bjdhausdesign.blogspot.com/2012/06/beautiful-home-exteriors-and-more.html" target="_blank">exteriors </a>but today I bring you a few other examples, inside and out.

Normally this look is too stark for me, but I must admit I found these striking! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Not a fan of the chair (for the record :)) but I like the rest and the pinks/corals soften the space..</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think this is actually dark blue and white, but it's striking in the same way.</span><br />

It has a big of a Scandinavian feel and I found it fascinating. This look isn't usually my style, but it's certainly refreshing!</span><br />

My post from last week about <a href="http://bjdhausdesign.blogspot.com/2013/04/hacienda-style.html" target="_blank">Hacienda style</a> was inspired by a recent trip to soak up some Vitamin D in beautiful Mexico. We are back now, but h</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ere are a few more related spaces that I thought were worth sharing...</span><br />
