| DETAILS | When we meet at corners it's a game of Tetris and the Rubix Cube exchange between material thickness and clearances to how lines intersect or how hardware functions to ensure full access so no inch of space is ever wasted. I've never been a fan of corner cabinetry it's always reminded me of the terrible girlfriend Lazy Susan. At first I was sad we lost the proposal of a full access 50" High and Wide cabinet because of the request to add a corner upper to left of hood fan. Sometimes with challenges we make hard decisions and often several rounds of shop drawing review and meetings are added. Much thanks to the hard work of @somafurniture and @caisleydevelopments for their patience. 2 hidden corner pull outs 1 for wet goods (oils & vinegars) + 1 for dry goods (spices & salts) full access upper above and below with the upgrade sister Lemans II corner pull out. @miele_com appliances are now installed and lie flush with @caesarstoneca countertops. Excited to see in person the perfect combo of white washed Baltic Birch cabinet fronts and interiors throughout. A whole new appreciation for making a corner work. Finger pull detail as the alternative to touch latch to avoid the finger prints and constant cleaning. I've seen over the years so many projects fail after 10-15 years touch latch hardware needing to be replaced.

Forest Through The Trees is inspired by our ability to separate all the distractions and noise constantly bombarding us in our daily lives. Forest Through The Trees is to help remind us as a viewer, we must look past the distractions of everyday life to experience life in the purist and truest form. “In order to write about life first you must live it.” Ernest Hemingway quote. Vengerick believes this famous quote to be very true of his work. Vengerick has lived a storied adventurous life and not always the easiest life. But to truly experience life one must suffer at the hands of life from time to time. Hemingway, the highly anticipated 2nd series from Vengerick. This series is inspired by Hemingways love of life travel and drink. The paintings in the Hemingway series our for the view to allow the abstract paintings to wash over them and allow each viewer to experience these masterful works of art from their own perspective. Certain artists have made it impossible to write the history of modernism without them. In the earlier 20th century such towering innovators as Pablo Picasso, “The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” ― John Muir

- BEFORE PHOTO - When Ruthie and her husband moved into a new home about three years ago, it didn’t require much fixing up. But the carpeting in the upstairs living room served as a constant reminder that the previous owners had dogs. Ruthie’s No. 1 priority in a new floor was that it had to be easy to install. She remembered her good friend and fellow blogger telling her that she had installed Allure herself in her own home. After Ruthie and her husband installed their new Allure flooring, they realized Tara wasn’t exaggerating. Ruthie says that she loves the way the flooring looks in her home as well as the easy maintenance of it. Ruthie chose to install Allure Luxury Vinyl Flooring in Brushed Oak Taupe.

Luciana was constantly reminded that good design isn’t limited to architecture—it’s in everything. This dish, served in Capri, captured her love for balance, playfulness, and color used with intention. Form meets flavor in the most elegant way.
