continued from this a.m. more blue and yellow love...

NOTE TO SELF: MUST USE A SLIM AARONS PHOTOGRAPH IN A PROJECT SOON!

See I told you I was all about blue and yellow lately....

Inspired - Yabu-Pushelberg

Yabu Pushelberg has done work for Kate Spade N.Y.C..  Three of the four Kate Spade images include a tape installation by Rebecca Ward.

I  am constantly scanning the world for inspiration for my interiors. My goal is to create original spaces that respect the client's needs and wishes but that are also unexpected! I studied retail design in Milan, Italy and I also teach retail design courses. So while my business designs mainly residential interiors, I'm am always in awe and inspired by hospitality design. {esp. hotels, restaurants, and retail}. 


George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg met in design school thirty years ago. The Toronto/N.Y.C. based design team has been creating dynamic, dramatic, luxurious interiors ever since. I hope you are inspired by the sculptural quality of their work as much as I am.

Where I'd like to..

SHOP

I love this Mary McDonald designed store. In fact it would be the perfect inspiration for a living/dining area. The mix of color, pattern and texture is gorgeous.  Mary's website has been updated, if you'd like to check it out click here.

INSPIRED BY..

I teach a retail design class at Endicott College, it allows me to hang on to piece of my previous {clothing/fashion} related career. Plus, it's great to get inspired by store + fashion design. A fitting example of fun + fashionable is Kate Spade's latest 5th avenue store. The multi colored -stripes are so effective at moving your eye through the space.

PURE MAGIC

Since I am enthralled with France lately, it would

be an oversight not to share the inspiring work of

designer Andree Putman. Pictured is the design

collaboration between architect

Maxime d'Angeac and Ms. Putman

for Paris's Guerlain Boutique and Spa.

This space is beautifully sculpted....
