This is a second home for our client and it was important for the kitchen to serve as a space to both cook and entertain, as well as reflect the <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">vibrant spirit</span> of the rest of the house. Coming up with an efficient layout to make the most of the small space was a challenge, but the final plan both functions well and looks amazing. The cabinet style, trim work, and color palette came together with ease, as we were inspired by the sunny colors throughout the home.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As the hordes of interior design enthusiasts on Twitter are well aware, today, June 14th, 2010 is #NateDay, celebrating the work of interior design talent, Nate Berkus.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Many of you may be familiar with Nate's work from his numerous installments on Oprah's show, as well as his editorial spreads in various shelter magazines. Considering the way his interiors have such an effect on so many, we decided to explore some of the reasons his work is makes such an impact:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">* Nate Berkus seems to understand the difference between a house and a home. He designs spaces for the people who will live in them, and creates settings that suit the needs of their individual lifestyles.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">* Relatable rooms - Nate's designs keep a focus on interactions. They are oriented toward conversing and entertaining. He never overlooks the social side of living.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">* It's all about the mix. Every Nate Berkus space seems to maintain the proper mix of old and new, mix of textures and finishes, and mix of color palates. Mixing these elements add depth and interest to any home.</span><br />

Anyway, all this talk of the elegance and intimacy of round dining tables prompted us to round up a few of our favorite styles. Most are available in various diameters and finishes to suit any decor.

The best of both! <font class="Apple-style-span" size="small">(Bonus: Great fun for kids - of all ages!)</font></font></font>Dwellinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16420300764774855463noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97834973912630324.post-27036826362254524382009-11-10T09:18:00.000-08:002009-11-10T09:31:13.146-08:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', fantasy;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993399;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b>H</b></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;"><b>ELLO FRIENDS!</b></span><b> </b></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#336666;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman', fantasy;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993399;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#336666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I'm happy to say that we are currently featured as a guest blogger on </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Charleston Magazine's</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> beautiful website, www.charelstonmag.com!

We have some great CD's in that are perfect for dinner parties... or to enjoy while prepping for guests. I always have more fun in the kitchen with my favorite tunes! Sometimes our daughter brings her "friends" Miley, Taylor, and the Jo Bros. and we have a big time. But for more adult fare, Dwelling has some GREAT compilation CD's that are mixed specifically for entertaining by the DJs at some of the globe's hippest hotspots!</span></span></span></div>Dwellinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16420300764774855463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97834973912630324.post-58671032921064638482009-10-12T11:33:00.000-07:002009-10-12T15:16:29.077-07:00course title: Design Walk 101<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUEPaQwyZ84dIzUJTs7Wk5AhA_27Yz7a5vCu5C15S_VZCVfq9uD6j7Aj9NEkoiuTUjRQocyTGWWt1lBF5qwpcXx-4FwSnp3IikcRbfP9UawevflUAhW-11JDxNDA6rpZakzX1u2WyucvvY/s1600-h/DesignWalk.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 322px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUEPaQwyZ84dIzUJTs7Wk5AhA_27Yz7a5vCu5C15S_VZCVfq9uD6j7Aj9NEkoiuTUjRQocyTGWWt1lBF5qwpcXx-4FwSnp3IikcRbfP9UawevflUAhW-11JDxNDA6rpZakzX1u2WyucvvY/s400/DesignWalk.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391839466569798834" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">H</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">ELLO</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;"> FRIENDS!</span></span><br /><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Georgia, fantasy;color:#CC33CC;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana;">Here we are at the peak of Charleston's fall social calendar and we have upon us one of the most fashion-forward and fun-filled evenings of the season! I have posted all the pertainent details regarding the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana;"><b>Upper King Design Walk</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana;">, and in addition I've posted a few fun </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:16px;"><b>"did you know....? </b>facts:</span></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, fantasy;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">* Charleston's Upper King Design Walks began in the Spring of 2002, when 8 bold-post-9/11-newly-opened-design-related-merchants decided that it might be a good idea to band together to promote this fledgeling district. The first Design Walk served as a group Grand Opening for the merchants. It was so much fun we immediately began planning the fall walk!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">* As the Design District has welcomed new shops & design firms, the Design Walks have continued to grow! This Fall's Design Walk will be featuring more than 28 participating businesses! The events are held once each Fall and once each Spring.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">* Rain or shine! The Design Walks have always marched on despite inclimate weather. Interestingly enough, some of the most successful walks have occured on wet, drizzly nights -- the rain encourages folks to linger in each shop a bit longer and makes things a bit more intimate.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">* The event has taken on a whole new dimension since, at the Spring Design Walk of 2007, Mayor Joseph P. Riley cut the ribbon at the grand re-opening of the newly Streetscaped Upper King Street. This once delapidated district now boasts bluestone sidewalks, palm trees, lamp posts, sidewalk cafes, and many, many well-heeled shoppers!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Verdana, -webkit-fantasy;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">* The Design Walk has grown into such an event that it now has sponsors!
