Euro Trash at home..



I don't know about you but I completely fell for this space in the latest issue of House Beautiful.  They mirrors in the stairway are so gorgeous! I wonder if this would work on a curved stairway?  
I might be trying that out.  The entire color palette or lack of is really light and bright, I love it.
This is the home of Annie Brahler from Euro Trash.  I came across their site last week and put it together with some of my favorite images from around the web. 




Funny note.. this is the second time I have seen a LV bag used in the photos of a house.  Love that- mostly because this is the bag I have been sweet on for a while...

You cannot go wrong with these two, grey cabinetry and tolix stools!  I like the minimalist approach with the shelves and clean lines.  The bevel on the island top is pretty amazing I wonder what material used?  Does anyone know?

I am so glad to find so many wonderful kitchen styles incorporating grey in the design, it makes for some great inspiration as I start to plan my own redo!

Entertaining..


Entertaining outside is my favorite with candle light and lighting in the trees.  It is such a fun simple way to extend your home with a long banquet style table and a graphic runner.  

Do you entertain outside?  I would love to hear your secrets to keeping it special and intimate.

Southern California Spring Garden Show



This week is the Spring Garden show at Crystal Court - South Coast Plaza.  I have not been in several years and had a chance to visit yesterday.  They had a great display at center court from Fiesta Floats of Pasadena.  It was amazing with several large butterfly and giant cone shaped containers filled with flowers.   I have not been to the Rose parade since I was a little girl so seeing the detailing on the pieces was pretty amazing.  It was about 2 stories tall.
 



Room and board had a small display- Love this long simple arrangement for the outdoor table.
 
I need to look this up because these were wood pieces that held water.  I want one of these in my new garden.






There was an abundance of miniature garden displays and Japanese Maples were everywhere.



There were several of these succulents- super cool!





We spied a cherry tree near the end, I now need to add this to my list of fruit trees.  I just have to see how well they grow in our area.




The variety of Orchids on display was also pretty amazing.  They are so beautiful, I wish I could figure out how to get them to bloom more than once when they are in my care...

The Garden show runs through the weekend with several events and lectures being held each day.  It was a fun morning visit but I suggest that you arrive early, it was very busy by 10:30 AM.

Living outside..





I am sure we are all waiting with baited breath for those long summer days in the warm air where we can just sit around and take it all in.  Things are no different here, we are getting mentally prepared for the slow down of summer.  This looks like the perfect place to take it easy and spend long evenings with family and friends.

Wednesday... already?





Okay so I am going to make this quick- my computer has crashed twice during this post!  I hope you are having a wonderful week!  I have been working on accessories for what seems like weeks and my brain feels like scrambled eggs...  hopefully it will all be over soon.  So here are a few pretty images to make your day a little more relaxed.  See you all tomorrow!

Off the subject: Neon Sign Museum






We visited Las Vegas over the weekend and found ourselves less than excited over most of the trip..  We live pretty close so we have been many times, but this was the first time with our kids.  When we were leaving the Cashman Center I noticed something right next door, the Neon Museum or the Neon Boneyard.  I had heard of it and seen a few photos here and there, but had no idea where it was or that you can visit it.  I was a little bummed to find out that you need to make reservations pretty far in advance, but I will know for next time, just a little something fun to do in Vegas aside from shopping.  I love vintage and vintage signs and lettering are some of my favorite finds so this is perfect!  Don't you think?

Grey in the kitchen




Grey makes a great accent in the kitchen too.  This island is amazing!  My kitchen has a island set up similar to this or it will when I am finished with it, I love the X detailing and the pendants.
