We had a good time with this project. Chesterfield sofas + kilim + a bit of Union Jack = fun, urban cool. Here's the concept we developed which resulted in the spaces above:
two bachelors who, though very different, share one thing in common: they both fancy themselves as rock n’ roll enthusiasts, scotch experts, and up and coming career men. Incorporating bold colors with warm woods, aged metals, and unique art and accessories, this space is a sophisticated, eclectic, rock-lovin' bachelor pad.
And P.S., this was done using a mix of high and low. Ikea, CB2, and other retailers mixed in with some "to the trade" items helps to elevate this project on a budget...

Remember my northeast adventure last week? Well this is what we were up to. Project installs can be intense and make for a crazy week (I will have to share some behind the scenes footage with you in an upcoming post) especially when dealing with travel, time crunches, and snow. BUT I love it when a project turns out as we had envisioned. The payoff? The client is happy and that's really what it is all about. Curating a mix of existing accessories, furniture, and artwork along with some new pieces, we created a rustic yet elegant space with a bit of edge and sophistication. The neutral creams and grays provided a soft backdrop for the punches of graphite and gold throughout......

Amazing what a bit of paint can do. For this Miami apartment design project we couldn't replace the existing finishes so we had to rely solely on cosmetic changes. BUT the difference is pretty fantastic. A sophisticated version of nautical is created with classic navy and modern accessories and art:
So much is possible with a bit of creativity and inspiration! I love working on projects - "virtual" ones too. Make sure to check out my Design Mail posts to see some fun design taking place via the internets and my inbox.....

Love was the theme all weekend and a little bit of it carried into the studio too. As we are making preparations to launch our Etsy shop later this week (yeah!!), we thought we would share with you the happenings in our studio and let you in on a little of the action. Jake has been rocking out in the woodworking shop and has created some amazing architectural wood pieces that are part of our lifestyle brand: art. design. objects. Among them was a sweet bracelet he made for me for Valentine's Day, (love him), and the amazingly beautiful Bocote piece you see below.... Enjoy!

Here are several pieces from Studio Surface. There are also additional styles, not all shown here, in our accessories collection in a variety of wood species: Cocobolo, Bocote, Ebony, Purple Heart, Lacewood, Bloodwood, etc. all which are salvaged and/or responsibly harvested. We do not throw any pieces away and reuse the remnants in additional styles and custom work. [Photography by Kevin Dotolo]:
