I Am Working On Opening Up Shoppe...

After lots of thought and deliberation, I have decided to add a shoppe to my blog. I am beyond excited! I am constantly thinking of the type of "look" I'm going after and what types of items I would like to add.

You can expect to find unique one of a kind finds, handmade pillows that are going to be true works of art using beautiful fabrics from all over the world and inspired details. Pillows will be designed by myself.  Also, handpicked dhurrie and kilim rugs in bold patterns and interesting textures, an eclecctic collection of accessories, custom furniture pieces and more. I am confidant that you will find the perfect finishing touches for your home, I am trying to pull it all together and will have some exciting giveaways on opening day.

For starters, I found these mid-century stools that are going to be sent over to the upholsterer. I think I have landed on the fabric that I'm going to use to re-cover these beauties. I know when they are done, I'm going to want to keep them, that's usually what happens but don't worry I will contain myself!

I am going to use a lot of tribal inspired prints on both my furniture and pillows. Below are some of the eye-catching fabrics I found that will be used on pieces you will find in the shoppe.

If you like what you see, stay tuned for updates. Also, I would be forever grateful if you would help spread the word by "liking" and "sharing" my FB page.

Thank you for your support, I'm excited about offering you original inspired items from all over the globe:)

My Flooring Finds...

I was out yesterday looking at flooring for a client. Just wanted to share some of my lovely finds.  I LOVE picking out tile and carpet and putting it all together.

How amazing is this carpet below, I'm thinking somebody needs to have this beautiful carpet made into a rug, anyone?...Okay, I will:)

This middle section of cararra marble caught my eye in the herringbone, octagon, and linear pattern, I want all three! I love when people step out of the box and dare to go with a unique tile combo with a cool pattern!

I may have some plans for the tile below, can't wait to implement these beauties into a project I'm working on.

Love this pattern using 6x24" and 12x24" tile,  looks so sharp!

Do you need help picking out carpet and tile? I want to help you and I promise you will love the end result, email me stacichavez@ymail.com.

My Yard Sale Artwork...

At the same yard sale that I purchased the mid-century sofa, I also found this set of artwork. I first fell in love with the frames and the gold leaf detail and then I noticed that the colors would work well in my front room. I was a little on the fence about whether or not I should buy them. I hung them up and was pretty happy with the overall look and the fact that I got the set for $20 made me even happier!

I felt like I needed something to go over my new side tables. Things weren't balancing out in my mind, I think it looks a lot better! I think I am almost officially done with this room. With that being said, is anything really done when you are a designer? As soon as you are feeling like you are "finished" with a room, you want to change things around. It's the overexposure to the design world that plants these ideas in my brain. 

Next up, I really want to paint my front door. I am thinking about doing a mint green color... I will post some photos soon of what I'm thinking, I would love your input!

My Mid-Century Yard-Sale Sofa...

Just wanted to share my mid-century, yard sale sofa that I scored last night. I was driving home and noticed this sofa sitting in a driveway with a bunch of other vintage/antique goods. It was a Thursday night so I wasn't sure what was going on. I knew that sofa was coming home with me and lucky for me, I was the first customer.
This sofa is in impeccable condition and happens to be in the Pantone color of the year, emerald green. I am digging the bold color and of course the style! I need to figure out where to put it and find some complementary pillows. I will post a picture once the sofa has landed in it's final destination.

Lofty Dreams....

One of my dreams is to own a loft with ultra high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, light walls, bright artwork, city views and modern furnishings. Basically, this loft is a dream and lucky for you it is for sale for a mere $1,400,000.00 located in the heart of Salt Lake City.  

Have you ever checked out City Home Collective? This website features hip and modern home listings within Utah. I hop on over to their website often to be inspired!

Happy Happy Birthday Beautiful Chloe...

Today this beauty turns 7. I have a huge responsibility to be this girl's mom. She is so bright and intelligent, she is a thinker and is always asking such deep, methodical questions that a lot of times I don't have the answer to. I know the future has a lot in store for her, she is going to go far in this life, she is amazing and I am so proud to be able to be her Mom!

Thank you Chloe for teaching me more in your 7 years than I have learned in a lifetime!
