Seeing Red

Boy oh boy, I am a slacker blogger!  Sorry folks, just a lot of livin' goin' on these days!! We have been working very hard around here now that the weather is nice, a few days last week were near 100 degrees so we decided to spend those days on the water....just too hot to do anything else!  We are in the process of finishing up our bathroom remodel, we ended up having a leak and needed to gut it to find the problem.  I am happy with it though!  I will post photos when it is finished,  my hubby needs to finish the trim but is laid up again with his back.  Poor guy!!!

 This is the coolest bathroom in the cafe, not ours!!

 Love the white marble with the dark wood floors and contemporary light fixtures

 This super cool piece of art is three dimensional

 I love how they mix the antique pieces with the modern, I think, I am becoming more of a modern woman in my older years. ha ha! I love the simplicity of it.

 See the pop of red I was talking about!!

 Industrial mixed with modern, still lovin' the pop of red with all the white and dark floors.

 They have the best bread!!! I loves me some good bread, I actually have taken it home in a doggy bag!!

 (below) these are the PB pillows that I picked up at the outlet for my family room club chairs ( in red of course!)

Anyhow,we have been in this house for 6 months now and have kept my beachy theme going strong.  I have been craving a bit of color in the house but didn 't want to make a huge committment in case I get sick of it, (which happens).  I found my inspiration in the cutest little cafe in a local hotel.  We went there the first time on Valentine's Day and fell in love with the decor, a little bit vintage, a little bit French, a bit modern, clean and white, yet warm and inviting.  I think the punch of red that is carried throughout the cafe caught my eye.  After our new wood floors were in I realized that I could easily add some red too, not a ruby red but a tomatoey red, not really bright.  After a trip to the PB Outlet I snagged a couple of red pillows and a few bunches of red apples ( I am not usually a fan of fake fruit but I like these so I broke my own rule).  I don't have any photos of the room just yet but I thought you would like to see my inspiration.  I am hoping to go there this weekend for my birthday!  Hint hint!!! I did not take any of these photos, I found them on the web.
