holiday entertaining ideas

I can't believe tomorrow is December already....you all know what that means. Party time! This morning I have been inspired by some great ideas from Hip Hostess.The cluster of bulbs would be such a fun idea with Christmas lights for a holiday chandelier. I am slightly obsessed with the marshmallow dippers! These would work with kids and adults....dip them in cocoa or cocoa & peppermint schnapps for a delicious adult beverage! The table settings are all from Celebrations at Home...beautiful ideas sure to impress your guests.

Happy party planning!

SPIRE offers amenities for the masses

SPIRE is one of the fastest selling high-rise condos in the Nation! It's no surprise when you read about all the amenities they offer and a lifestyle that would fit a wide range of homeowners.

Gorgeous views of the Rocky Mountains, while still enjoying the energy and accessibility of downtown Denver....surely this would be a place I could definitely get used to. Sustainable design throughout the building along with a dog park, pool deck, yoga garden, fitness center and private screening room are all reasons that make this spot quite desirable.  I think the dog park is my favorite! I've lived in the city with a dog...and nothing sounds better than having an off leash dog park in your own building!

painted glass

I'm working with a client now who is very opposed to grout and is interested in anything that will eliminate it all together. Here are some photos of a great kitchen backsplash idea....painted glass! You have the flexibility to paint it any color and the result is stunning, fresh, and practical!

Wow...I can't believe the holiday season is already here! I am especially excited for Christmas this year in our new house; I wish I could go out and get a tree now!

Tazmania Ballroom Contemporan

Apartment Therapy posted these photos of the Tazmania Ballroom in Hong Kong and I just had to share them! The lighting design and color pallet are so dynamic; it sets a stunning atmosphere for a lounge.

random things i love

I've been feeling rather random lately after our move last weekend....my brain is slightly scattered. Here are some random photos from decorpad that I love and am finding inspiration for our new house.

Love the tufted walls over the built-in bench

Textured pillows are a must

Love the mix of patterns...creates a cozy comfy feel

In love with stripes on walls...brings your eye up

More awesome stripes

Can you tell I'm into stripes at the moment
