Karbon Wall-mounted Faucet

karbon wallmount faucet

The original Karbon faucet by Kohler can bend and form to reach anywhere you need it, including compact and out of the way. Now Kohler has released the wall mounted articulating Karbon facuet, it still can be manipulated like the first (it pivots in 5 places actually), but has now moved up and really out your epicurial path.  It is exteremly apealing with such a modern look, and just think of the ease of use! I never have two hands free in the kitchen so sometimes a pullout faucet just doesn’t cut it. Problem is solved with this beauty. It is never too difficult at all to justify the beauty and preformance of the Karbon.

The Flavor of Red

I went to a diner the other day and ordered the special of the day which came with dessert, the waitress asked me if I wanted jello or ice cream. Well, that depended on the flavor of the jello I inquired, to which she replied “red”.

red gloss cabinet doors laundry

Red is probably one of the best accent colors around. Cherry red is like a burst of energy in the room, just see how much life the Abstrakt cabinet doors bring into this laundry room.  Fashion Stylist Sandra Pittana keeps it simple but glam with lots of gloss and just the right amount of punch. The red seems to match perfectly with her LG front load washer and dryer! Read more

Like a spotlight for direct or indirect lighting, with or without a reflector. Is it a luminaire or a work of art? The GEORGE FLOOR refuses to be pinned down – but is guaranteed to radiate a strong presence.

It is designed by Tobias Grau and what a wonderfully artful concept this lamp is. The smooth oak legs and zinc and glass fixture combine to suit a transitional styled home. Beautiful.

What’s in a Name?

bonfire pie

As a child I always wondered just who would be lucky enough to have the job of naming new colors for various products like nail polish, or lipstick, or paint?! That would be the dream job; I imagined a small panel of artists sitting around a large white table conjuring up delicious names that could sway a person like me to purchase “Plump Plum” over “Black Licorice”.  A couple months ago I found an online name-that-color contest and had a blast thinking up different names for new paint colors, and they chose one! So here it is! The tone is from General Paint’s “Down to Earth” line; it is full of rich and natural colors. I called this one “Bonfire Pie”, now excuse me while I cross off one more line on my life-goals list. Next Up: Sky-diving? Um, maybe not.

Interior Courtyard

Interior Courtyard for Britney Spears

Who wouldn’t love the ultimate privacy of an interior courtyard in their home? Usually completely enclosed, an interior courtyard offers seclusion from the outside world without the eyesores of a fence or need for well thought out large scale landscaping.  A celeb who agrees is none other than Miss Britney Spears; she has purchased this beautiful home in California which happens to feature a private courtyard that offers an outdoor fireplace, and imported limestone fountain. You can see the scale of the courtyard from the aerial view.  Balconies offer wonderful light for each facing room, and no need for blinds, well, depending on who is visiting that is! I just love the weathered patinas on the pavers and stone details.

Luna Sink

Kitchen renovations are on the rise and there are endless possibilities when considering what fun finds you may wish to include in your cuisine.  Consider an entertainment sink; they are fantastic if you have an island or peninsula large enough to incorporate one of these lovelies. The Luna Sink by Native Trails is more than three feet of prep and serve bliss! The area directly in-front of this stunner is perfect for preparing a salad, or for setting a serving platter of hors d’oeuvres with a plethora of chilled drinks in the sink.
