Selfie Sunday—Color of Red

One of my favorite things to do over the summer weekends is scrolling around little beach towns in the neighborhood. I couldn’t think where I can go to get some fresh cool beach breeze , explore unexpected vintage founds and enjoy my different colors of macarons. Often, the color palettes on the hight streets of these little towns are so fascinated that they put me in such a relaxing mood. I start to slow down and really take time to absorb and observe my surroundings. So, today I am going to feature color of red. Color of red refers to passion, happiness , positive vibes, high fashion, romance. When pairing with pale blue, pink , black and blush, it creates different moods.

SCIMG_2191 — Red and Pale Blue—very vintage

Weekend Vibes

“Less Talk, More Ice Cream”, what about talks over ice cream?

I love just scrolling around the neighborhoods of Los Angeles to experience diversified cultures, find new cool shops with quirky interiors, or simply having my sweet-treats and batheing in the sunshines. What about you? How do you spend your weekends?

Color of Orange is all about being happy and optimistic.

I am just like everyone here and enjoying each other’s company.

Happy Sunday

A Day of Traveling Part II

We just had another big earth quick last night in SoCal after the 6.4 one on 4th July! It is 7.1! Send love and prayer to people who are affected seriously. And I followed Dr. Lucy Jones from CalTech last night the whole night for her analysis on what’s going on. Somehow, listening to her gives me a sense of peace.

Well, when natural disasters happen, we know we need to appreciate all of the beautiful things around us more. So, guys, let’s continue our Day of Traveling—Part II. There are a lot of beautiful photos for the modern classic interiors I caught during the trip, so it’s time to sit back and relax.

Arte-decor clubbing house. The geometric black-and-white rug does the wander for this room. And of course, the brown leather tufted mid-century chairs, the fireplace and wooden wall panelings add the layer of old school traditions and bring the stories and warmth to the space.

Fresh light pink hydrangea sets the romantic tone in the lobby.

Love this abstract artwork in brass frame.

I am just so so so obsessed with this blue-and white vignette. Who wouldn’t—elegant and romantic!

Such an airy and light-filled sitting area. Color of Live Coral on my dress kind of pops up in this muted creamy background. The wall panelings add the depth to the space.

Love how they pared orange with silver champaign leaf.

I always have a thing with sheer roman shades—they often soften the lights shining through the windows.

The details on this clean-line classic fireplace.

in love with this full-body French-pleated drapery—it’s elevated this cozy beachy hanging-out area. Yes, we are ready for a good conversation oner the afternoon-tea.

Light blue does relax me a lot in this outdoor sitting area.

Hope you enjoy all of them.

Stay Safe

4 Ways to Restyle Your Kitchen in an Artsy way

Last Saturday was a beautiful day—sunshine, nice breezes and full-blooms everywhere. I was invited to an open house by a Japanese Gifu craft showroom in west LA. Since I need to find some unique kitchenwares for couple of projects. I decided to take a little road trip.

As you can see, I always love to stop and small flowers specially when it is spring season.

By entering the showroom, OMG, I was just amazed by how they arranged these beautiful organic kitchenwares with a little touch of ikebana–subtle, calming yet elegant.

What I hold is a mini donabe condiment bowl. It is just so cute. Donabe is a kind of Japanese traditional earth-ware(clay pot). You can see how we open these little donabe from the following video.

IMG_7371-1 — These little bowels for sure put me in a good appetite.

9IMG_7353.2019-04-15 12_21_30 — We found this cool middle-size clay smoker with various kinds of charcoal choices.

10IMG_7354.2019-04-15 12_22_21 — And look, this lid also serves ads a bowel.What a genius idea!

5IMG_7348.2019-04-15 12_19_25 — Tradition Japanese Hoba miso in Gifu–grill miso over dried magnolia leaf for an unique aroma.

So, if you are in the process to re-organize or re-style your kitchen for spring cleaning here are several tips to make the task fun and easier:

Kitchenwares are one of the major components in the kitchen. So, find something that is Love in the first sight. When you have something you truly like and enjoy, you probably won’t feel it is not really that boring to do any chore in the kitchen.
Have some fresh flowers or greenery in your kitchen no matter how small and how simple your kitchen is. I guarantee those little beauties will brighten up your everyday-life.
Have the habit of collecting inspiring menus that talk to you. That way, you know how you are going to use your kitchen and how you would like to arrange and display your kitchenwares.
It will be a good idea to have couple pieces of earth wares–they are natural, organic and artsy, and always remind you of your mom’s kitchen. So at the end of the day, you may find kitchen is your favorite place to wind down and reconnect with the family.

Happy Monday

4 Trends for Home decor in 2019

From the beginning of 2019, we have been constantly studying the decor trends by going to all sorts of trade events. It is true that you should always choose what speaks to you. However by understanding what’s going on in the market, you can always find some better ways to express yourself. Since spring is here, it is a perfect time to fresh up your home. Here are 4 trends we have observed so far and love to share them here in our blog. Hope you find them useful for your projects.

Chinossorie.

A touch of oriental decor, it doesn’t matter it is a vase, a fabric print, a painting, always adds a touch of whimsical to any space. Just remember, a little bit is just enough. after all, you are not an antique store.

I love this bluish modernized chinoiserie wallpaper.

2. Remember it is still the year of pig.

A small piggy sculpture, or a jar always adds an interest to any space and they will always remind you that —it is a year of prosperity and keep you positive.

3. Modern classic.

Yes, we still love minimalism but in a different way. We like clean-lines but with curved forms and a lot of classic details. Yes, we are in love with modern decor with sophistication.

5IMG_6896 — always love lucile furniture—light, airy and glamours.

6IMG_6887 — the beautiful shapes of this dining table set.

7IMG_6883 — love how they add the metal design on this sofa.

4. A touch of vintage.

We hope you enjoy the above information and if you plan a make-over and need some help, you are welcome to contact us.

Happy Wednesday

LA Street Style I

Spring is here. The warmer weather and blooms magically put everyone in a very cheerful mood. So, we took the opportunity and wander around LA street to immerse ourselves in the season and get inspired.

STREET3 — I always have a thing about bicycles. I love purple and flowers in this picture! It’s a dream if I can just ride a bicycle with full blooms in a small quiet beach town. If you happen to plan some make-over for your home, lilac is one of the good choices. I specially like lilac in matte finish. And also, remember have some fresh flowers at home! They will make you feel much happier!

STREET1 — It’s a late afternoon. I like how the sun shines on the industrial building creating interesting shadows. This hot pink minimalism bench is such a eye candy in contrast with the grayish industrial surroundings. Spring finally broke through the coldness and is here with a little bit surprise and cheer. Take -away— for your interiors, don’t just pile things up, rather intentionly layer different things through creating interesting contrast!

STREET2 — Graffiti on LA street is always my inspiration. Take-away for interiors: please always have some artworks for your home. They are the soul for each space. They make your lifestyle much deeper.

Wood just brings the warmth for this high-ceiling modern space with a lot of whites.

Cool rope lighting in this sun-lit cozy Japanese restaurant. I always love the room with a lot of natural lights

An outdoor space with a lot of greeneries, wicker peacock chairs and pink antique rug.

Happy Tuesday

A Beautiful Tabletop

It’s middle of the week again. I hope you are all doing very well. I have couple of design projects going on simultaneously. I feel a little bit overwhelming and look for some inspiration to just keep myself going. I started to organize the photos for the events I have been to recently. I found something that really lights up my day—yes, a beautiful tabletop. I guess color and fresh flowers always stimulate my brain to release more endorphin and make me feel happy. I hope you feel the same way too.
