It’s been a while. Although the new blog is not totally set up I do have a fab find to share with you. visit me at:

bravoclaudia.wordpress.com

I know there are very few of you that visit my blog but for those of you that do I wanted to let you know that I’m taking a blog vacation. I am planning on switching my URL once again. You must be thinking, why again? Well, I don’t really care to have “design” in my url because I have discovered that there are many things I would like to share that do not always have to do with design or interiors. I hope to be back here to share my new wordpress URL with you by this Friday. xo claudia

The kitchen is by far my favorite part of this 50 square meter home. Although there is very limited counter space, it still has all the necessary components of a fully functional kitchen. I heart original art work and these three pieces of art are no exception.

A traspairent table top and a transparent set of chairs helps keep this space more spacious while the pendent and two thick black framed pieces of art help define the dining area. By using the same off-white cabinets in the kitchen area as well as in the living area a better sense of unity is accomplished. Of course I am loving the touch of animal print thrown into the room with the rug under the coffee table.

I am loving how the space is divided into two zones. The main living area that includes a living room, kitchen and dining space is great for hosting company. The second zone that includes the bedroom and bathroom is the more intimate and private area of this sweet small home.

hello sugar plums.
today i am loving this 1907 home in kansas city.
it belongs to mr. david jimenez.

i love that david collects sketches and charcoal drawings from the ’20s and ’30s
he says, “nothing with a pedigree, just ones that move me and make me happy”
isn’t that great?

this man also loves a good flea market, thrift store, and estate sales
are you in love yet?
i know i am.
when shopping for his home he ended up with about nine sofas, 65 lamps
and the list went on and on…
his sofa was upholstered in tattered orange crushed velvet 
but david was able to look past that and saw it’s beautiful shape and lines.

i will be day dreaming about being david’s house guest today…
have a lovely day.

hello love puffs
i couldn’t resist sharing these photos.
whoever said a one-piece is not cute and sexy obviously have not seen this hot little number.
check out that hair too!
the higher the hair the closer to heaven…

today is my first day back at school.
i’m excited!
and i love that i’m excited about school.
this is how i know that i love what i’m doing.
life is good.
how about you, loves?
what’s your major?
do you love it?
please share.
i would love to know.

I absolutely love the fun and flirty flowers Emersonmade creates. What I find even sweeter is that these blooms are created on the couples farm. The lovely Emerson and her husband Ryan left the hustle and bustle of the city behind them in exchange for country living.

Aren’t you also loving this ladies style!? It’s oh-so-sweet! I recently bought a thrifted belt similar in color & style to the one Emerson is wearing and since then I swoon over any outfit that casually incorperates a thrifted-looking belt into it.
