Inspiration. Who said a patterned ceramic tile floor would make your kitchen look too bohemian? There is this trend I keep seeing in design interiors that shows the exact opposite. In fact, sleek contemporary kitchens are matched with deep textured cement tiles, in floral or geometric patterns and the result is totally gorgeous. I think this trend is a part of the whole mix&match movement that’s been going on in the interior design sector (and not only) for quite a time now. For example, you already own an old, antiquated space, with its large openings, stucco, moldings and a floor of vintage tiles and all you need to do are just some strategical moves to uplift it into a contemporary sophisticated space. In a kitchen, that means, unrefined wooden, lacquered or even inox cabinetry (isn't that so radical?)
Our humble abode. Marchi-Cucine-07-1-Kind-Design.jpg (1200×800) Garage Mini House. Who doesn’t love a good makeover? Especially if it involves small space creativity. Seattle based artist, designer and welder Michelle de la Vega took an old tired garage and turned it into a full functioning and visually stunning little house. Most fixtures and pieces of furniture were custom built for the project or salvaged, refurbished and repurposed by the designer/owner.
The place is only 250 sq. ft., but thanks to clever space-saving solutions, it seems bigger; and there are no compromises in comfort. Before After.

Michelle's Dream Space Small Cool Contest. 17 Apart: A Little Entryway Gallery. As we head off into this weekend we wanted to leave you with another fun little home project we took care of this past weekend — a miniature photo gallery in our front entryway. We've mentioned before having lots of wall frames from the old house that have sort of been hanging out while we decide what to do with paint and furniture — but sometimes the inspiration strikes, like with our kitchen nook.
That's what happened with our front entryway while we were getting the house straight for our party, we decided to go ahead and hang up a grouping of black and white framed family photos that Tim had on the walls of his old house since before I moved in. Under close supervision, Tim began hanging them up in a grouping: They looked great once hung up and were the perfect fit for that smaller space — but I had an idea to further fill them out and add a little more the "blended history" of the collection.
Here's a breakdown of the different shots: We're making small changes little by little!
