James Latta Photography - As an interior designer, I liked my home but was not "in love" with it. I didn't feel in sync with the style and architecture despite compliments from friends and family. It was time for a change. I sold my Floating Home (see Sleepless in Portland: Houseboat Diary) and my La Quinta home (see Transitional Living, La Quinta) and downsized to a house that's a better fit. The home was lacking sufficient storage so I added a beverage center with storage cabinets and a butcher block countertop to the dining room. An Ikea table frame was powder coated in dark grey and fitted with a Cambria Quartz dining top. A matching quartz piece was added to create a kitchen bar seating area and includes a beautiful waterfall edge. Reclaimed wood square tiles were added to the kitchen pop up ceiling and the living room fireplace to add warmth and texture. Black and white photography of the local desert landscape frame the fireplace. Although the home is mainly grey, black and white, pops of red are a recurring theme thought the interior and exterior, including a red barn door at the kitchen pantry. I broke design rules and didnt take the "safe" route. Quirky accent items can be found throughout the home. These include a wall-mounted family accordion, framed movie quotes in one of the guest rooms, a custom canvas photo of my miniature schnauzer, and dragon print accent pillows throughout. A Tongue and Groove (T&G) wood ceiling transformed the master bedroom and a beautiful red area rug adds color and warmth. The result is DARING and yet comfortable. The backyard was completely renovated. Tons of white rock were removed and beautiful landscaping and lighting were added as well as an additional 500 square feet of pavers. A sun shade, red umbrellas, and patio misters create inviting seating areas for friends and family. Tongue and Groove wood was also added to the outdoor patio ceilings. A high end surround sound system and built in BBQ with patterned cement tiles complete this outdoor living space. The process was exhausting and time consuming but now that it is over, I am thrilled with the results. I now live in a home that nourishes my soul and better represents my style and tastes.

Living room - contemporary living room idea in Birmingham

DIO restaurant is a bold fusion of antiquity and pop art, where classical aesthetics take on a modern, ironic edge. It’s a space where history is reimagined — lively, daring, and unmistakably contemporary. The restaurant is spread across two distinct levels. The first floor offers warmth and tranquility — perfect for relaxed dining. In contrast, the second floor delivers a vibrant, emotionally charged atmosphere full of visual intrigue.Classical statues shed their museum-like solemnity and become playful, expressive art objects. The blend of traditional forms with provocative details creates a unique visual dialogue that surprises and engages. Architectural elements like arches, vaults, and layered structures add depth and theatrical flair. Natural materials — stone, marble, and textiles — bring the space to life, appealing to both sight and touch. A warm, earthy palette — terracotta, marble mosaic, and natural tones — ties everything together in a timeless yet refreshingly modern ambiance.
