WANDERLUST WEDNESDAY | Why do you think I have a smile of joy, is it the bottle of water or the hotel room key? This week I’m wandering back to a journey around the Greek island of Crete. It makes me laugh just remembering this trip 😂. After a full day travelling around the island we were trying to navigate our way back to our next hotel. After a long drive up a winding mountain ⛰ we discovered without any forewarning the connecting road was completely closed. This is where the ‘fun’ began ;) I was in the co pilot seat, and if you have ever tried travelling with google maps voice attempting to speak Greek, umm....well, it’s pure comedy. Needless to say it was really ‘All Greek to me’. I turned off the sound and we relied solely on the 🗺 until....the road became really narrow and we saw hikers 🤔 I had umm... accidentally directed us onto a footpath on a mountain. Thank God, I was with a Swedish friend who has ace driving skills @emmasekhon! I swear in Sweden, women are taught how to chop down trees and make a fire blindfolded and learn how to drive through an elk storm 🦌 ⛈ We eventually made it to our accommodation in time for a wedding and that is a joyous smile of finding hydration and accommodation, but I was more happy about the room key and our hospitable host! Tell me about one of your road trip mishaps.....@knofdesign #lifeisajourney #comeridewithme #itsallgreektome #wanderlustwednesday

ART AND SOUL | I love the final touches! Artwork! Infusing a space with creativity and soul. The Long Count by @retna #retna #newyork #soul

MATERIAL MONDAY | Delving into a masculine mood scheme. Geometric lines, deep rich tones, grounding palette, and nice tones and textures. This is going to make one fine bachelor pad! What do you think @knofdesign #suedes #leather #materials #rich #masculine #bachelorpad #materialmonday

ROYAL PAIR 🇺🇸🇬🇧 | Love is in the air 💕for a new pair. 👰🏻🤵🏼#meganandharry #royalwedding #american #british

SATURDAY SKETCH | How do you connect? When planning an interior a few critical elements come into play, but mainly how spaces interact, flow, and connect. This makes understanding not only horizontal but also vertical connections very important. I love figuring out how to get from one plane to the next. Understanding mathematically how the amounts of risers and treads that can function and where the landings will start and end, if more than one vertical connection is necessary? Maybe an open mezzanine creating a visual link? @knofdesign

FINISHES FRIDAY | It’s a tuft job ;) Rug sampling and stretching toward the weekend. #finishesfriday #tufts #rugs #carpets #samples
