Michael G. Imber, Architects is a modern classical design firm based in San Antonio, TX and San Francisco, CA. This talented crew promotes an American architecture reflective of its cultural history and modern lifestyles. Again appealing to my sudden fascination with more classical design. I am absolutely smitten with the space above. Such a cozy spot to relax on a warm summer day. And then to take a dip in the pool below…

Effortlessly beautiful with light flooding in through impossibly tall windows. Elegantly serene with a white on white palette. What could be better than this stylish living room with beni ourain rug and ornate fireplace by New York based designer Tom Delavan? Perhaps a dark and moody bedroom with Tuareg rug and ornate fireplace?

When you don’t want your house looking like your neighbour’s. Jenn Feldman Designs – she’s all about in your face bold sophistication. Drama with dark colours, graphic artwork and fabrics and all the wallpaper! I am totally in love with her style – so much so there’s a part 2 to this post coming later.

A little midcentury Palm Springs style in Bendinat, Mallorca. These colours in this climate is FABULOUS!!! I die for those fuschia dining chairs with the marble table. So good! Designed by Bconnected.

This is Louis! He’a a one-year-old Coton de Tulear. He is small, but he takes up a lot of space. We’re best friends.

I forgot to post this last week. GH sent a copy of this fabulous cover of Better Homes & Gardens new look, and featuring Julianne Hough with what I assume are her 2 pooches.

And a few from me. Felix laying on the rug I brought back from Puerto Vallarta, Lucky laying in my vintage apple basket at the end of the foyer that I have filled with winter gear, and Lucky laying on the arm of the sofa watching the snow fall and fall and fall…..

And if anyone in the Ottawa area would is interested in a kitten please give me a shout. This is one of many cats my hair stylist has living on his farm in a barn and it’s freezing cold out and there’s tons of snow and I feel horrible knowing that could be where he spends the rest of his life. I think he’s about 3-4 months old, and I’m told he’s affectionate, which is amazing for a barn cat.
