IAN'S PAD/////

/////////////////////////////////

Ian is a great guy! We are starting with his entry and living room of his Seattle home and I am very excited to give him a great place to curl up by the fire after a long day at work. More to come, but here is a general idea. Warm ethnic inspired woods juxtaposed with a large palette of cool grey's and blue's.

ARTS&CRAFTS////PALM SPRINGS

1. Living room/Dining room/Kitchen and Entry floor plan.

2. Living room marble fireplace wall with on one side custom antiqued leaner mirror (8x4ft) and on the other installation of plates from the likes of Heath ceramics, Mottehedah, and some other fantastic finds on top of the blue grass cloth wallpaper.

3. Split picture of two views in the Master bedroom.

More to come!

BP IN SF///ROB'S PLACE

/////////////////////////////////////////

Rob is one of my absolute bestest friends in the whole world, so when he moved into his new place in the Mission in San Francisco I was more than honored to be asked to decorate it. Rob and I met in Portland almost 5 years ago and we have been close ever since. The main theme of his new place was the colorful album covers of the band Belle & Sebastian. We painted the main living room and hallways a rich golden yellow and accented the neutral furniture and wood tones with pops of saturated corals, navy blue and orange, most notable seen in the framed lithograph from one of my favorite artists, Josef Albers. The over 100 year old rug that I carried on the plane on my first trip to begin the project adds texture and age to a mainly new palette of furniture. In the living room and hallway (to my surprise) Rob was looking for something like my photo wall in my own home...we went a lot cleaner by having rob choose a series of photos he really connected with and framed them individually treating them like little objects and lined the hallway with them. The kitchen was painted a rather deep greenish shade of navy blue and glows like a candle when lit. We shadow boxed albums from the inspirational band to complete the look with bamboo shades throughout the apartment to add texture and a bit of privacy. More to come on this space. What do you think?

BP IN SAN DIEGO

/////////////////////////////////////

I have recently started working on the largest project in my short career. A 7700 sq ft home on Sunset Cliffs in San Diego. I spent the last day and half down there, doing all the nitty gritty of measuring and photographing and ooohing and ahhhing and budgeting and taco eating and moon watching. A massive undertaking to say the least with some very spirited clients. I cannot wait to see how this whole journey unfolds and will of course share it with all of you as we progress.

ALSO: I think I want to retire and become a surf bum...maybe.

- This last photo is from a really fun project I am working on here in Seattle for some new friends. Painting has commenced...more to come!

- INSTAGRAM...What can I say, you have found a believer in me. I am taking so many more pictures, recording more, looking more. Whatever it takes right? Ah technology.

Off to San Diego in the morning to begin the largest project in my short career so far. Color me nervous and excited.

I hope this finds all of you well. Stay Tuned.

PARIS/TRAVELING/BUSY/INSPIRATION TO COME...

Hello All... Just a quick update to let you know that I have been traveling a bit working on some of my clients homes. It looks a little like this ... Seattle>Paris (above)> Seattle> San Diego> Seattle> San Diego> Seattle> San Francisco> Seattle> Palm Springs> Seattle... putting that down on "paper" just exhausted me, but I will not for one second fell less than blessed beyond words. My head is brimming with ideas, new projects and more inspiration for all y'all. Also keep an eye out for BP INTERIORS Bedding collection late spring/early summer as the first of a series of products for the home from yours truly. Stay tuned!

...this would be my "cranky cause I've been on too many planes" face
