Southern Inspired: Airport Attire Guest Post

Hi! It's Dana from Southern Inspired and I'm so happy to be over here on Tiffany's lovely blog today! When Tiffany asked my sister, Drew, and I if we would do a post collaboration, we jumped at the chance! And since Tiffany is traveling, we are putting together a series of airport attire for you.

Today we are headed on a business trip. But don't think business attire isn't fun. No more boring black suits...bring on the preppy colors!

1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8

Tomorrow we are going somewhere fun! So stay tuned for Coral Cafe's picks!

Leaving on a Jet Plane

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
I'm officially on Spring Break! My school calls it 'Reading Week'...but let's be serious. Rather than cracking open the books I'm jetting off to Halifax tonight to visit my guy! Words cannot express my excitement, firstly because I haven't seen him in 6 weeks, secondly because it's such an amazing city (I hope to do a post on the unique and colorful houses!) and finally because I have some very exciting and promising meetings with some amazing people (more on this later).

I expect to be pretty busy the first couple of days out there while I settle in, but you're in for a treat! I've got the amazing and truly talented sisters, Dana from Southern Inspired and Drew from Coral Cafe doing some amazing posts solving the dilemma of what to wear when traveling by plane. Am I the only one who struggles with this? Stay tuned for those tomorrow and Saturday!
In the mean time, have a wonderful few days, and seriously y'all, go check out their blogs! You won't be disappointed.

Office Reveal!

Completed....kinda.

So If you follow along here on this little bloggy, you are privy to a lot of my work happenings.

You know that last week I got a phone call that I needed to magically make a miracle and vamp up a big ole beige cooperate office into something snazzy, cool, and rap mogul worthy.

And that I somehow needed to magically make this miracle happen in one week

Well here we are, one week later and somehow, by the grace of caffeine and AMAZINGLY TALENTED FABULOUS WORKER BEES (who put in 16 hour days right along side me......btdubbs)

We were able to pull it off

Lets take a look at the 

BEFORE


beige boredom


snooze worthy

 more beige,
(this guy didn't seem to mind)


welcome to the world o' bland

brown town

& now the

 AFTERS


Ahhh much better!


Painted all the beige a nice cool gray and painted the doors black

 

used a green, wood, white, black, and grey color scheme throughout...

Got down with some MASSIVE graphics....



P.S. this office just needed some huge letters and giant triangles in its life...no?



The succulents really added some vavavoom and color to the wood wall.

speaking of the wood wall......

I DIE!

It is my fave part of the whole design.
I have been wanting to do one of these somewhere for a while. 

I finally got my chance.

I obviously pulled this one outta thin air...

Some of you may know, most of you prob don't but 
MY BROTHER is a contractor extraordinaire and the one who whipped this wall together for me....

he is one talented son of a gun who builds some pretty spectacular shite.....

isn't he special??

here is some more shots of the WALL




Unfortunately the one other big vavoom of the space got all screwed up, and in the 11th hour did not happen. 

We will be doing a phase two soon of the office which will have this massive wall mural image in the Companies Presidents office that I can't wait to show you once that happens.

My camera battery is dead so you are just seeing the iPhone images we took. 

I will upload more images and update hopefully soon.

in the meanwhile...

I have yet to spend any quality time with my family in a week and no valentines day with the Duck so
today I am taking the day off (sorta) and spending it with my babes.

Kitchens I love and ‘Kitchens I Have Loved’

 

Yes indeed, a kitchen post today! We all know that kitchens are one of the favorite subjects of bloggers. There is so much to read and to see about kitchens. From country kitchens to comtemporary kitchens. No matter what type of kitchen you love, you will find your dream kitchen somewhere at the unnamable amount of blogposts.

And I have to admit that I filed lots of kitchen images since I started reading blogs a few years ago.

Today I posted some images of my all time favorite kitchens.

But before scrolling down to these images, I want to introduce you to a new blog, titled ‘KITCHENS I HAVE LOVED’ .

The author of the blog, Billie Henninger, living in Canandaigua NY, started her blog to present her journey through kitchens she has loved in her personal life and those she has loved from designers. She will not only write about kitchen design but she even loves to share with us all things related to kitchens as cooking tips, art with the kitchen as a central theme etc.

Billie is one of the ‘first hour’ readers of my blog and from time to time she emailed me giving me a lot of tips or links, or books she wanted me to know, or interesting things about design she wanted to share! That is why we became friends. So Billie is a wonderful and generous person. And I definitely wanted to do something in return to Billie, now she started her own blog.

That is why I would love to ask you a favour. Please, may I ask you to go over to Billie’s brand new blog ‘Kitchens I Have Loved’ and to comment on one of her first posts? And you would please Billie even more if you decided to follow her blog. We, as blogauthors, do all know, we were so happy when we discovered someone had commented one of our first posts or when we noticed that the amount of followers was growing. Isn’t it? I definitely was! So why shouldn't we encourage Billie to go on writing beautiful kitchen posts.

Si I do hope you might do Billie (and even me) this favour. We would be very thankful !

I might think that you all have seen the following 3 images going around in blogland last year.

It is a kitchen that is seen at the website of architect Kevin Harris.

Joni of the blog Cote de Texas posted the images of this most wonderful kitchen at one of her latest blogposts about a Tuscan villa in the US.  Not only the kitchen of this house is beautiful, but the entire house is to die for! You really have to check out Joni’s post about the Kevin Harris Tuscan villa HERE.

I love everything about this kitchen : the kitchen floor, beamed ceiling, boarded kitchen island, the plastered kitchen hood, the chosen furniture.

If I will ever have the intention to redesign my own kitchen, these images will be my source of inspiration.
