my dad is the main reason why i am the artist that i am. he is my inspiration for everything creative that i compose in my life. he went to art school himself, but decided to stick with the family business of working with flooring, specifically tile. him and his partner work on mostly residential projects, but also have worked in restaurants, been featured in designs that have been published while collaborating with designers and contractors. i am working on a website to publish more of their work, so when it's done you should check it out! this is just one of hundreds of projects. a newer, finished job.

enjoy!

boconcept chicago.

walking in to a business like boconcept, i am in awe of how professional the overall layout looks. this showroom is top of the line in my eyes. meeting with the owner and the store manager gave me insight to how a business can still be family oriented even under corporate control.

@boconcept.

every piece is custom order from the material to the fabric to the parts and pieces. i enjoy the 'dual function' of them as well.

they are celebrating 60 years in a few weeks! congratulations!

@vanity nightclub, las vegas, nv.

i am heavy into the nightclub scene, being the age that i am. i love music and how it affects my mood and my senses. it has been and will always be a big part of my life.
i would never want to leave this bathroom. vegas always designs 'over the top' and i love every square inch of this space!

"..while the women’s room spans 2,000-square-feet and features eleven stalls and six sink, individual vanity stations and a custom $40,000 chandelier made from 70 hand-blown glass globes."

@luxury home design.

so i stumbled upon this interior image while liking a few pages on facebook. this sofa is SO my style and it will be the kind i look for once i move into my own place. it gives off that asian vibe with the pattern of the two outside pieces as well as the height being so close to the floor level. the mix-match of the fabrics makes me melt inside.

UGH, so gorgeous!

HGTV.d'- 'mediterranean kitchen' by fiorella design.

HGTV @mediterranean kitchen by: fiorella design.

i watch HGTV religiously and am always curious as to what i can use as inspiration.

 this kitchen screams words at me: bohemian, mediterranean, eclectic, eggshell, delicate, sleek, history, bright, unique. the backsplash is my most favorite part of the whole entire space. the designer used a simple pattern when laying out the tiles to give a more subtle, yet finished look. the yellow paint helps compliment the eggshell blue of the tile and the kitchen chair as well. i would make sure to display colorful dishes and glasses in the open glass cabinet. i would use this kitchen anytime of the day!

also on my trip to OC, i met up with a designer for an interview here. this place is very resourceful and reminds me of the arlington heights design center where I used to work. they carry many products that designers can use within their projects. i will definitely sign up to purchase here when i have my business.                                    http://lagunadesigncenter.com/

pdc- design mecca of LA.

on my california trip to OC and LA this past week, I was so excited to be able to visit PDC. one of my girlfriends who lives in LA uses and visits this building quite often. I had the opportunity to sit down with a vendor from unico designlab and chat with him about his business and what he contributes to the design industry.

 

Sandro's website: http://unicodesignlab.com/

 

he deals with mostly high end clients for his pieces are one of a kind. i was truly inspired by him and his ideas. check out his website for more images and work done by unico designlab. with ideas in the making, i hope to partner up with him sometime next year.

HGTV.'d - 'urban oasis.'

@HGTV.

another gorgeous shot of an 'urban oasis' from HGTV. i am just in awe of how the photographer can line up and capture a shot like this. photography has always been a second love of mine and I like to use it to my advantage. my best description of this image to say the least,

"city heights & pretty lights."

inspired!

'house of bones'.

@spain.

with lighting.

look @that detail.

i've never traveled to spain, but when i have the chance, this will be the first building that i will be honored to see. it's essence reminds me of a fun house that's come to life.

shoe obsession.

alexander spiked sneaker by: sam edelman.

I have a little, slight problem/obsession with shoes. all colors, shapes, types, materials..they are all beautiful to me. picture falling into a sofa which absorbs your body shape perfectly. this is what makes a woman's life easy peasy!
