interior - design of glass home

Houses with walls of glass that is designed to provide an fabulous place to live. Supported directly by the pretty natural beauty. Equipped with parallel sliding doors are a special feature of the building to another. The lounge is bright, minimalist interior design, and an additional bedroom downstairs. Next to the north side of the main building there is a double garage, which can be accessed directly from the basement, and also there is a staircase in the lounge is a direct link to the home. The idea of energy utilization to be sure that all the energy needed to run the building gained from regenerative sources. Blending expertise with a geothermal energy method as well as a highly efficient heat pump that creates the energy needed to produce hot water and heating and cooling needs. The whole surface of the roof is equipped with photovoltaic systems that generate additional power over the annual average of the buildings in which they live. This is the first building in the world where Zero idea developed by Werner Sobek will be fully implemented.

A Tory Burch package arrived and whoa, check out these fluorescents.  I'm not brave enough to do too much fluorescent, but I did have this monogram pillow made in fluorescent hot pink for a project.  Very fun for summer...  The new shoes and the pillow!

chevron kitchen backsplash

What do I love?  The back splash, the wood top island and perimeter marble, that fridge, the stove, the old door... everything!  This kitchen belongs in the Beverly Hills home Camille Grammer just purchased.  Oh, how I hope she keeps its charm.  Don't you love it too, Gina, especially that range!?  
Thanks for the image Hooked on Houses.

a coffee bar, bakery, flower shop BISTRO

Hubby and I had a sweet little lunch in Houston's Flora & Muse, a flower shop, coffee bar and bistro.
 grab and go flower bouquets
 walk up coffee bar and bakery counter
 It had me at first sight of the awnings out front.
   
I had the arugula, pear, blue cheese flat bread.  Highly recommend.  And Max ordered the egg pie baked inside of a bread boat.
Okay, how charming is this?  The bill arrived tucked inside of a handwritten, leather bound journal.
Hoping they will expand to Austin soon.

my origami Mother's Day

 For months, origami library books have been coming home and folded creations can be found all around our house.  How timely that my mother's day morning was filled with my 7-year old's masterpeices.  A rose (and some Vueve mimosas in bed) AND
one of a kind, handmade crane earring set inside an origami box!
 
Oh, how I love them and will wear them all day!
I got these lovelies too.
Wishing you and yours a fabulous day.

how to get a Massimo Vitali print for your home

Did you know that the Massimo Vitali gallery will e-mail you 1 image?  It wasn't quick and you don't get to choose the image, but it finally arrived in my inbox and I felt like I won the lottery.  Since I'll never be able to afford an authentic Vitali gallery piece, I'm thrilled to have this one in my home. 
In my entry, this famous photograph announces that summer is here in the ATX!
 I tend to do this with new things around the house that I love so much.   I then moved the Vitali image and roses to the kitchen to admire while I cooked dinner.
Go HERE for the e-mail address to request your own work of art.

when the mouse is away, the cat will...

...shop, piddle and move stuff around the house.
I found these small Mexican glass candle lanterns from Anthropologie for my pool cabana mantle.
 And brought them back inside before the storm.  This cluster says SUMMER to me.
 I fell in love with this Schumacher Raja Caravan embroidered Ikat sample that Gina let me borrow. Creme, pink, gold, mint.  Totally obsessing where and how to use it.
perhaps in my dining room?
 my new Kate Spade sunglasses
 cut some bougainvillea and added some happiness to our bedside tables

 added a fun new printable to my foyer gallery wall from Paper Coterie HERE
 baked cupcakes for the teacher's birthday with my new frosting tip Hostess with the Mostess recommended
 made this jar of sunflowers for my dad who lost his beloved yellow Lab last week
 took a moment to myself on the patio and caught a peek at this pretty sunset.
 roasted some spring veggies

 put together this Jarlsberg swiss cheese tray

Alan and I sang this song... over and over
And my fave part of all, enjoyed his exciting soccer game.
And as you can see, I had a little fun with Instagram too.
