The Paséa Hotel & Spa Opens in Huntington Beach

Image
The Paséa Hotel & Spa  has debuted in Huntington Beach, California, as the newest addition to the Meritage Collection’s portfolio of luxury resorts in California and Hawaii. The 250-room hotel features a modern spin on classic coastal styles, emphasizing open spaces, natural materials, and contemporary organic furnishings. Designs from the Scottsdale, Arizona- and Washington, DC-based firm  Monogram at BBGM  drew influence from the region’s emergence as an artistic cultural hub.  “The hotel’s design celebrates the culture and the magnificent views of Huntington Beach,” says Monogram at BBGM principal Kathryn Mickel. “We wanted to offer luxurious coastal living with clean lines and elegant materials. Our designs incorporate the local area’s charm and were based on our interpretation of a modern California beach house.” The design includes local artwork, distressed wood finishes, and teak accents. Included among the guestrooms are eight luxury one-bedroom suites and the 1,900-squar

Room Color and How it Affects Your Mood

Image
The colors of the rooms in your home are a direct reflection of your personality. While most of us may not spend a lot of time thinking about room color, it affects us every day. Room color can influence our moods and our thoughts. Color affects people in many ways, depending on age, gender, ethnic background and climate. Certain colors (or groups of colors) tend to get a similar reaction from most people; the variations come from the shades or tones used. This is why it’s so important to choose colors wisely when it comes to decorating. You don’t have to worry about trends in order to have a beautiful home. Color trends will come and go. The people who live in a home make it beautiful by choosing colors that reflect their preferences and personalities. The trick is to blend the colors you like into a pleasing combination. Choosing color combinations is one of the most intimidating steps for beginners. Color has the power to change the shape and size of furnishings, as well as

10 Trends to Watch for in 2016

Image
As we close the door on 2015, lets take a look at what the design industry experts are saying about the coming year.  As modern life gets busier and more pressured, our homes have become our sanctuaries. Centered around simplicity, serenity and seamlessness, the 2016 interior reflects our need to switch off and detox. Warm but calming colors are complimented by natural textures and soft shapes while furniture is becoming ever more tailored and intuitive, both at home and in the office. Rose Quartz and Serenity Aurora wallpaper by Calico Studios. Global color authority Pantone surprised the design community by naming not one but two colors for the 2016 edition of its Color of the Year forecast. The pastel pink Rose Quartz and powder blue Serenity may seem like a sugary sweet selection but according to Pantone, the pairing is in fact part of a more unilateral approach to color—a commentary on the current societal movements toward gender equality and fluidity.

Carlos Serra Designs Tropical Restaurant in Valencia

Image
In collaboration with designer Carlos Serra, Valencia, Spain-based architecture firm Mercader de Indias has unveiled the designs for the Valencia restaurant Tropical. Mirroring the blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea, blue palm trees frame the restaurant. Flooded with light and warmth, the restaurant boasts large windows offering shimmering views of the ocean. Emulating clouds, the Mallorquinas roofing filters in light through wooden slats, manipulating light and shadow in a manner similar to that of sun. The columns also reflect light through slats. Hydraulic tile breaks, a motif in designs throughout the region, span an array of blue shades to form a large format shelf illuminated by two restored vintage lamps.  The prominent bar draws its form from the waves of the sea, adorned with enameled white lava. Suspended above is a rustic boat navigating the waves, a theme which is further perpetuated thanks to traditional Mediterranean upholstery-clad seating. Origin

Our Crianza Fabric was Used in this Blown BBC 1962 Corvette C1 and It Looks Awesome!

View Full Gallery Some folks just can’t leave well enough alone — in a good way. Take Ward Seifrid’s 1962 Corvette. It started out as a complete basket case, literally a pile of parts stored in the second-story rafters of a commercial building. Despite its dilapidated condition, with a frame in such bad shape that it was not salvageable, “I bought it anyway, primarily because it was titled,” he admits. Initially, Seifrid considered doing a pure resto since he has a few other collectible ’60s Corvettes in his collection. So he had some initial assembly work done on the car by a restorer, but then took it to John Wargo of The Custom Shop (Flanagan, Illinois). After several discussions to develop all the details, and seeing Wargo’s numerous other restomods, he completely changed his mind: “Everything just kind of came together — I wanted to step it up a notch from the others.” 2/28 That’s really an understatement, since the concept and list of upgrades th
