Alaxi Outdoor Fabric

I've been searching around for outdoor fabric for a client in Dana Point. It seemed like I kept coming across the same solids and stripes until I discovered Alaxi Fabrics by Silver State Inc. They have some really fun patterns, textures, and colors. Check it out here, and I've attached some of my favorites below.










For those in the Orange County area, Alaxi Fabrics are available at:

The Gilded Mirror

I'm sick today and every time I start to try and do something productive, my mind gets all fuzzy and my eyes get sleepy. So instead, I decided I'd try posting up some of my favorite things (not that blogging isn't productive). One of my favorite mirror companies is The Gilded Mirror. They have just 9 classic designs to choose from, but every one of them has been featured in some sort of design publication or another, because they're just that good...

Clever Cabinetry

I'm starting on a remodel of a kitchen in Newport and as I was perusing through my design magazines for inspiration I came across this clever cabinetry design. It's sometimes a quandary to decide what's more important in a kitchen; cabinetry space, or windows that provide beautiful natural night. In the kitchen shown above (found in May's issue of Traditional Home) you get the best of both worlds. It's functional, classy, and beautiful all at the same time.

Cabinetry designed by architect Greg Johnson.

Stark Outlet - Costa Mesa

I was driving up the 405 fwy this week and got a nice surprise when I saw signage for a Stark Outlet in Costa Mesa. Happy day! If you want beautiful high quality carpet and rugs at good prices, I suggest you go check it out. I frequent the Stark Outlet at HD Buttercup, but this is much more convenient!
