Hey all … away for a couple days on a mini vacation and staring at my email in box now, scary. Rather than deal with that I’ll share some initial design development!

Clients come to us all the time with the most random images for inspiration … and this one I love. A cherry red vespa! We were working on compiling some initial ideas for a textural cool kitchen eating area and the Vespa image busted in as an idea worth considering from a color standpoint. The red Navy chairs I found are just too fun. Not sure if they will end up the right red, but it’s a good start. Rather than going red tile or walls for a large splash I was thinking that this repetitious item could be the color ‘pop’ with a more earthy muted backdrop. We’re looking at this geometric slate for one accent wall. I can see it coming together …
