Making Progress With Lighting
We’ve recommended and used Progress Lighting for many years. Progress offers a wide spectrum of selections. Basic utility fixtures to innovative design options are all available from numerous local and online sources. Progress is a company with a history backing up the service their representatives provide. The rep our firm uses is a part of the team we depend on when implementing projects. His knowledge and experience in lighting is vast.
Recently we stumbled, we don’t always have time to keep up with all the resources websites like we should, into a section of the Progress Lighting’s website that offers various style boards. We prepare style boards when for our digital design clients as part of the online service we offer. This is a great way to use a designer “virtually” and keep design fees reasonable. (link to our services in our website info is available below). Let’s take a look at the style boards Progress has and how they have defined decor themes. We’ve also added some photos to enjoy. There is a decor for everyone!

Architecture Recycling on Steroids
Hmmm..what do you do with a centuries old monastery and you feel the passion to “save” it?
Fontevraud Abbey in France: A Loire Valley Landmark
If you are Canadian architect Sanjit Manku and French designer Patrick Jouin, you create an outstanding hotel, retreat and restaurant. One catch…the project stipulated that none of the original white limestone could be disturbed. Since we are too busy to skirt off to France this week, thought we’d do a little arm chair traveling.
Happy Sunday!
Agree, no need to try to improve on the Limestone.
Check In seems simple.
What a fantastic way to light this Stairway (to Heaven?)
Each of the 54 rooms is unique. This one will do just fine for me.
Alfresco Breakfast
Looking at the Lavender
Can you see a wedding dinner here?!
If you are not too busy, and your passport is up to date, looks like the Almighty has his Airbnb ready.
Savor Your Saturday With Food and Pedicures!
Weather across the country seems to be unseasonably “ahead” this week. Reports everywhere are of early greenery and warm breezes. Pedicures are probably on many minds. If you can wiggle out some time to indulge this weekend….would it not be glorious to sit in these chairs and be pampered? This goes to show how a much difference good design can make. This will not be not your standard pedicure!
Whatever your weekend brings, we hope you have a few minutes to go back and catch up on any posts you might have missed since our launch this month. Your suggestions for topics have all been great!
Sunday Night Meal
Since you are already in a pampering mode for the weekend, why not plan a slow cooker meal for Sunday. You can run to the grocery in those cute little flip flops they give you at the salon. (I do.) Here’s a favorite in our house. French Dip Sandwiches. However, I buy the shaved meet in the meat section (or ask the butcher to shave a london broil for me) to skip the messy part of slicing the meat and add peppercinos about the last hour of the time. Here is the link for your impressive Sunday “I cooked all day.” dinner. Left overs not too shabby either for a couple of nice take away lunches.
Thank you for continuing to pass along.

Fab Friday Finds
Online shopping for home decor is at an all time high. We are constantly asked about the quality of items that seem priced to good to be true. We encourage our clients to take advantage of online discounts and pop up sales. Two suggestions tho…work with your designer to discuss the value of the pieces you are considering in regards to the plan your have for your decor. Sometimes a “deal” can turn out to be very costly. Below are a few items currently on clearance that are good values. Let’s look at how they might work in your existing decor.

Done right….a kitchen can handle any decor you can dream up. The question is are you ready for the renovation of the most important room in your home?
Stick a Fork in It
We work with color everyday. Clients often ask us what colors are in, what colors are out, what color is universal? We say…let’s move past those colors…they are going to change before the paint dries. Instead, let’s look for color combinations that inspire us. Colors that excite and intrigue us. Color combinations that are unexpected. Look at all the ways the same color, in this photo of a simple utensil, are used to create these striking and unique interiors.
