DIY: CHANEL OR HERMES?

Steph needs a tray for her office campaign chest, and I gasped with excitement when I remembered this gorgeous Hermes tray we had at my old job. Come to find out, he must have bought it at auction or on Ebay, because those trays aren't sold anywhere and they are super duper expensive. But luckily while researching I found genius blogger Claire Watkins, of High Gloss Blue Blog post about her DIY tray. She took inspiration from an authentic Chanel serving tray with the iconic double C's and replicated it with a $10 black lacquered tray from target and a little elbow grease. What do you think? I'm thinking we should give it a go!

HOSPITALITY DESIGN: David Barton Gyms

Most gyms have as much appeal as a fluorescent waiting room, while David Bartons gym has a live DJ booth housed in a giant disco ball. David Barton gyms are the sexiest places to workout, with a slogan like "look better naked" and interior design with attitude, who wouldn't want to make this their gym of choice?

I would love to use this bamboo stand butlers tray table as a bar.

I just love the dramatic scale of the wheels on this bar cart.

How wonderful would it be to come home to this appealing bar?

How great is this 2 tier glass and metal bar cart on wheels?

This is the bar cart I want, simple, sophisticated, and best of all gold.
