Brass Is Back

It is and has been all over the design world the past year...and I am LOVING all things Brass. The mix of your grandmothers antique brass flatware to a beautiful polished gold chandelier over a modern table. Intermix different colors and textures to re-create a space that has a classic and sophisticated appeal.

These are a few of my favorites as I design a home inspired by brass end tables, fixtures, and hardware. You can achieve a similar look at a low budget by hunting through the attic or rummage through a good thrift store; buff out a few years of dust and grime and give those dated pieces life again!

:: Jonathan Adler ::

Jonathan Adler's world is full of bold colors and mixing patterns and design elements to create an elegant twist on a timely era. He is an iconic potter - creating unique and eccentric ceramics...an amazing hands on designer and author! His favor on mid-century modern design has made a widespread impact on retail showrooms throughout the states and has brought personality back into the homes of a America.

Paring Gold, Silver, Olive Green and Poppy Blue creates a dramatic statement~!

Bringing monochromatic gray and whites together with a splash of Orange!

It's all about the Whites

I'm feeling inspired with Whites!

...Assuming so because my beautiful sister is getting married in 2mo/. and I'm reliving the wedding planning experience- but I love placing light grays, creams, & off-whites together in a cohesive palette; creating a relaxed and sophisticated statement.

I Gotta' Feeling on "Leap-Day"

Lately I cannot stop daydreaming of opening Bej'kreations. It has always been a dream of mine and a shared promise between my siblings that someday we would open a boutique. It will be filled with every day odds & ends, home-made goodness, custom furniture, unique pieces and a full design showroom right at your fingertips. It sounds so easy...It's all there in my mind.. I just need to make it a Reality! 

Over the years the vision of the store has evolved and changed a bit - but the feeling is still the same. I put together a little "Feelings - Board" to remind myself of how I want the store to feel...

Free Yourself

Somedays you just feel inspired by what's out your front window, the people you passed by on the street, or even an old photograph of someone you don't even know. For all the many little inspirations in life; take time to reflect and see the beauty in your day!
