It’s so exciting when clients ask us for fun lighting options! I came across the perfect wall/ceiling light to make a simple yet bold accent in their space. It’s great to have a few different color options to create an opportunity to think outside the box. I love the use of two colors on the same wall, almost like artwork on display.

Tile Tuesday capturing the luster of glass mosaics 🌻

The world of tile continues to amaze me as I search for new inspiration and find STUNNING glass mosaic fireplaces. I’m mesmerized by each tile creating its own world of reflective light no matter what color or shape.

This weeks Tile Tuesday has us *blushing* 😊

Our love of Zellige and a soft pink has us gushing over this whimsical tile!! Reminiscent of Himalayan Pink Salt walls, this tile has elegant variation in color, size and finish.
