High Gloss Magazine Debut

Many of you may have heard of High Gloss magazine's debut, yesterday. If you haven't, see it here. It is the brain child of my friend and Houston blogger, Paloma Contreras. What a labor of love and it has paid off!! 

The debut issue also features the work of another friend and Houston designer, Sally Wheat. I'm loving this place. Sally has such a great collector's eye and an appreciation for modern art, her interiors are so fresh! 

Do you love this incredible kitchen, or what?! Its modern and classic at the same time. 

P.S. if you stop by Sally's website, check out her photos. Several of them where taken by yours truly. Why haven't I mentioned this before, you ask. Well, all I can say is that last year, I lost my mind. I'm slowly finding it again. More on those photos later:)

Conversion Charts

Ideally, I wish I could have a conversion chart for everything. 

Like how to convert the real world into a way my brain can understand it... Not sure where to find that.

But, at least I could have a fabulous chart for the kitchen! 

Eclectic House: Kitchens

I'm building a virtual house, room by room. I think on the inside I'm a frustrated home builder. So, my first step to fulfilling my housing development dreams is to collect ideas of what I would like to see. Of course what would these houses be but eclectic! The question remains, would anyone buy into my vision?

Okay, this photo isn't exactly of a kitchen...but its a kitchen skylight! I mean how fantastic is this idea?!

This kitchen may be my favorite. Its spare without losing its earthy feel. I have collected more eclectic kitchens
on my new Houzz profile. Go check it out here
