Ocotillo Master Bath Remodel Part II

2013-05-23T07:25:00.001-07:00

We spent a lot of time on the tile design for this master bath shower. My client wanted something classic, timeless & elegant. I think we found the perfect design & when she saw it, she knew this was it!

I love how my clients master bath remodel turned out! The mirrors, the tub, herringbone porcelain wood floors, travertine tile, marble countertops....I can go on & on. And most importantly, my clients are thrilled with the results! My client said "it makes me smile everytime I walk in". Best compliment ever!

Team Gifts

2013-05-16T16:55:00.001-07:00

This season for our team gift, we (and by we I really mean my husband, who sent 50+ hours of video & audio editing) put together a highlight video of the Rebels spring season. We made it all to the way to the championship finals & came in 2nd. It was a tough loss for our boys & we wanted to remind them how great their season was despite the loss. It's a great gift & something that they can enjoy time & time again.

Suzani Medallion

2013-05-10T09:23:00.001-07:00

I am working with one of my favorite artists for my clients dining nook walls. She created this Suzani pattern which she is going to hand paint in 30" medallion on the walls. It is going to be gorgeous!

Margarita Cupcakes

2013-05-06T09:31:00.001-07:00

Made my famous Margarita Cupcakes yesterday for Cinco! They are a favorite in my house.

Cherry Pomegranate Margaritas

2013-05-05T07:43:00.001-07:00

One of my favorite ways to make margaritas is in my ice cream maker. I can make them ahead of time before my guests arrive & it makes for any easy service. I made these yummy cherry pom margs with 1/2 cup cherry juice, 1/2 cup pomegranate juice, 2 cups limeade & 1 cup Adult Limeade. I also added a few ounces of simple syrup to sweeten. I poured it into the ice cream maker & 20 minutes later I had delicious frozen goodness! I store them in Tupperware in the freezer until I'm ready to serve! Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Arch paneling

2013-05-01T10:50:00.001-07:00

Shot a quick pic this morning of my clients gorgeous arches we just completed! We wrapped them in beautiful wood paneling & molding to pop out the gorgeous detail. They are thrilled with the results-what do you think?

Cinco de Mayo Treats

2013-04-25T15:46:00.001-07:00

You know there's nothing we love more around here than a good fiesta! I wanted to come up a yummy but easy treat for Cinco de Mayo. I thought of the Mexican flag & knew I could recreate it! I dipped Rice Krispie treats in red, white & green chocolate & sprinkled with colored sugar! Super easy & delicious!

Pom Pom push pins

2013-04-25T07:17:00.001-07:00

These Pom Pom push pins from Anthropologie are absolutely darling! I think I will make my own this week & I'm sure I can make it for about 1/4 of the cost. And I can choose my colors. And make some for my friends.

What are you making this week?

Master Bath Remodel

2013-04-15T06:39:00.001-07:00

A little sneak peek at the master bath remodel we completed. It is such a beautiful transformation!

The Heat is On

2013-04-09T07:08:00.001-07:00

My clients wanted a little help dressing up their fireplace. For me, the scale & proportion of the fireplace were off. My clients wanted to keep their existing fireplace but didn't know what to do. I added stone tiles all the way up to their 22' ceilings. We also filled in the small niche & created a larger one & framed it in stone molding. We added a large stone crown molding at the top to help complete the look. My clients are thrilled with the results-what do you think?

Outdoor Restyle

2013-04-04T07:54:00.001-07:00

My clients wanted a fresh look for their backyard. Instead of buying all new furniture, I suggested to recover their existing cushions in fresh new fabric. Their existing furniture cushions are upholstered in black & tan wide cabana stripes. My client selected this beautiful medallion pattern & coordinated with solid terra cotta, butter yellow & small navy pinstripe. It is going to be an amazing transformation!

Mirrored Cabinet Fronts

2013-04-03T20:07:00.001-07:00

I love the idea of mirrored cabinet fronts in the kitchen. They add light, movement & sparkle! What I don't love is the maintenance of wiping down my messy boys fingerprints. What do you think-are they worth the trouble?

Exterior Iron Gates & Stone Wall

2013-03-29T07:36:00.001-07:00

Recently, I worked with my clients on the addition of an exterior wall & gates around their property. We chose to work with stacked stone, iron & travertine to complement the exterior style of their home. One of my favorite details is the curved iron wall by the entry gate. It adds a little softness & grace to the entry.

A popular kitchen trend is storing your veggies in baskets & bins built in to your cabinetry-what do you think? Is this something tat you would put in your kitchen?

I am working on styling a few photos for the Adult Beverage Company this week. First up is the jelly bean margarita! I simply cut the jelly beans in half and stuck them around the rim for a colorful & fun garnish! For the recipe, you can find it here.

Sliding barn doors

2013-03-22T08:15:00.001-07:00

I love the idea of installing a sliding barn door in my master bedroom for the entry to our master bathroom. What do you think? Do you like sliding barn doors?

Panel & Brick

2013-03-21T08:53:00.001-07:00

I have been finishing up a few projects for clients in Chandler. We built their home four years ago & now we are adding some finishing details. We added this gorgeous brick herringbone and wood molding in their ceiling! We also paneled their kitchen entry arch in this gorgeous alder wood! I am loving the richness & warmth that it adds to their kitchen! What do you think?
