STYLE IS SERVED: SPRING FEVER

So I'm sure we are all really tired of this dirty snow thats finally melting off the ground. And I for one am  really looking forward to the blooming of Spring, just for the mere color of it! No more gray days please!  On that note, let's get some inspiration for your next cocktail party. 

Gold plated silverware is on a whole new level lately

This is the happiest cake ever, permanent smile!

Black and Gold has been a current trend, but add some bright blooms and accessories to Spring it up.

I love how paper lanterns can look so fantastic, and they are completely affordable

Even though V-Day is over, I'm still loving pink, and this ombre effect here is no exception

Okay this might be borderline Summer inspiration, but hey a girl can dream

Oh Chartreuse

THE DREAM PLAYGROUND

The one thing I dream for someday is to have the coolest back yard on the block. A place where I can relax with loved ones on a cool summer's night with a glass of wine and a fire or a place to entertain for a huge BBQ with a pool and games. Here are some clever ideas that will have your backyard being the talk of the town!

Lap Pools are so classy and streamlined. Love how this one can be indoors or outdoors!

Modern Pool House with sleek black pool table!

Life Size Chess Game!

Bocce Ball brings back memories of my Italian grandparents!

Mini Golf anyone?

If you happen to have a huge and gorgeous tree, a custom tree house and playground will have you pushing for the neighborhood kids to go home.

By far my favorite idea! Putting the trampoline underground (with the proper drainage system of course) is so much safer and way nicer to look at!

CURRENT OBSESSION: CONCETTO BY CAESARSTONE

I thought I died and went to heaven when I saw Ceaserstone’s Concetto line for the first time. Agate (one of my fave material) or semi precious stones like Tiger’s Eye, Quartz, and Hematite are cut, bound, and polished to perfection to create a one of a kind surface material. The Concetto surface is strong, heat resistance, and made to last a lifetime. But the coolest feature of all has to be its ability to be backlit. The stone itself is translucent, which gives it this beautiful glow if you decide to backlight it. I’m thinking the stunning gray or blue agate surface for my basement bar, backlit of course! However, with the heavy price tag ($400-500 per square foot supposedly) it’s going to be a small bar.
