Black Basalt Infininty Sink Design Board

Matte black has been coming into vogue over the past year or so (remember this post?) 
and I must admit, I'm a huge fan!  When I saw this  
BLACK BASALT INFINITY SINK
 for the first time, I had to wipe a little drool off my chin.
The basalt has a gorgeous understated matte finish that would be 
great in a master bath or even a powder room. 
I would style mine with a little Parisian Bistro edge with a lot more 
matte black stone and antique brass:

New Site: Chic Vessel Sink

Hello lovelies!  I have been M.I.A. lately due to a new and exciting project.  
I am proud to announce I have a new site that offers  
 The site is still pretty rough, as it's in BETA mode, but hop on over to check out some gorgeous sinks!

I carry a large line of stone sinks made of  Carrara marble, black basalt, limestone,
 travertine, onyx, granite, etc.  Most of the sinks are clean and contemporary but there are
definitely some style that would work in any bathroom! 

Here are a few of my favorites from the natural stone line:

Marble Infinity Sink Chic Vessel Sink

Limestone Canoe Vessel Sink

Carrara Marble Stone Bowl Sink

Jurassic Marble Onyx Sink

The infinity sinks are bananas, if I say so myself.  
They were inspired by the ever-popular infinity swimming pools and can be 
as functional as you need, as the interior insert is removable. 

This week I'll be posting design boards featuring my new sinks.  
Visit the new site and let me know what you think!

Halston + Florals

Being stuck behind a desk all day is not fun when the weather outside is so gorgeous. 
I am daydreaming of pairing  
HALSTON GOWNS WITH FLORALS.

What do you think? Match made in heaven?

Brass Beauties

Here's a quick collection of  
BRASS BEAUTIES
I've been drooling over lately.  I've seriously been contemplating replacing all 
the nickle and chrome in my home with antique brass.  Still trying to justify the $$$.  
Sigh... if only I could create a new home for myself every 5 years...

Oly Bovary Table

Life's CRAZY busy again. Here is how my days have been going lately:

1. Wake up, get dressed, get out of the house.
2. Run to client's homes for consultations and/or run to stores to source products.
3. Go to my full-time job for 8 hours.
4. Make dinner from scratch because I can't do take-out anymore with my new diet.
5.  Tackle at-home design work including sourcing products, placing orders, answer emails, etc. etc.
6. Cuddle with my husband and/or puppy before turning in for the night.

Holy. Cow. 
Does anyone know where I can buy some extra hours for my day?

I'm not complaining, it's good to keep busy. 
Especially when I get to create chic rooms and use fabulous products, like this beauty:

I could use some right about now...
