Tile of Spain & Cevisama 2018
http://materialgirlsblog.com/losangeles/2018/02/25/tile-of-spain-cevisama-2018/5b1df337-087c-4ba4-b98e-024d49a20764/" rel="attachment wp-att-8420">" alt="" width="500" height="500" />http://materialgirlsblog.com/losangeles/files/2018/02/5B1DF337-087C-4BA4-B98E-024D49A20764-300x300.jpeg
Earlier this month I had the privilege of attending the annual https://cevisama.feriavalencia.com/en/">Cevisama trade show in Valencia, Spain on behalf of http://tileofspainusa.com/#sthash.TEw2YDTT.dpbs">Tile of Spain USA. The trade show is a mecca for every type of tile and stone one can imagine, a visual of display, with over 65 countries represented. Of course, our tour was focused specifically on Spain. To a cultural extent, tile is apparent in everything architecturally and surfaces which we saw during the architural tours we were provided apart from the trade show.

For fun, colorful, and interesting patterns and design I took to the company http://www.cevica.es/en/">Cevica, in the pics above and below, very graphic and bold decorative tiles on display.

A trend in tile pattern and design is the art of digital printing. Graphic patterns, arts apes, and the imitation of what looks like natural wood or stone can all printed on the surface of a tile.

I loved the tile murals from http://www.aparici.com/en/">Aparici, featuring an array of fun patterns that evoke the look of wallpaper like the above or the “street art” look, like the below.

Thank you to Tile of Spain for the opportunity it be a part of this year’s group of design professionals and press. It was a great experience, meeting and making new friends, exploring the trade show and learning about the tile manufactures that are local to Spain, and lastly the amazing architecture that Spain has to offer along with the cultural immersion.

Dwell on Design | 2015
Dwell on Design returned to Los Angeles this year for another round of great design events and exhibitions, seems like it gets better and better every year! This year I explored the show to see both new finds and old finds, but always interesting new showcases. From ideas on landscaping to space-maximizing bathroom ideas from Geberit, here are some of my highlights from this year’s #DOD2015.
Love the colorful and graphic fabrics available from The Shade Store.
A highlight, and absolute favorite, the faucets and fittings from Franz Viegener - beautiful minimal streamlined design!
More from the Buenos Aires based company, Franz Viegener.

Playing with Art.com
I've been using Art.com as a source for specifying art for client projects and using on client concept boards to convey how art selections will fit into a room setting. I recently had the opportunity to experience a new app from Art.com: the SwitchArt app. A fun app that allows you to upload images (your pictures) to the app, select to be printed, & easily switch out with a magnetic backing for an ever changing art look.
The SwitchArt app from Art.comSwitchArt is the simplest way to change out prints, often and easily, in the same frame. Watch a tutorial here to see how it works. The great thing about SwitchArt is if you want a new look, simply peel off the print and replace it with a new one in seconds. No hammer required. No need to buy a new frame.
The new Art.com SwitchArt App makes things even easier and allows you to bring your photo stream straight to your walls. Simply download the app, buy a pack, and begin uploading personal photos from their camera roll, Instagram feed or Facebook page. Each pack includes a SwitchArt™ Magnetic Frame in the color and size of your choice, and a number of prints you select.
Art.com's line up of mobile apps for art selection and ordering.
One tool that is a great feature on Art.com is the ability to view different frames and mat features for art pieces. I use this for client project selections and screenshot the images for my concept boards. It's such a great way to incorporate the right look into a room design - or helpful for the consumer trying to select the best frame option.
Incorporating art ideas and selections into a gallery wall concept board for a client.
Have fun playing on the Art.com website! And if you ever need design advice laying out a gallery wall with your selections from Art.com please feel free to contact me!
A Visit & Experience at Bosch
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend an event with Bosch Appliances at their headquarters in my (native) Orange County, CA. The two day event included a handful of designers and bloggers to experience, learn, and interact hands-on with the Bosch line up of products. (One thing I can say is we were very well fed over the course of just a few days!)
Our first evening began with cocktails and this view, from Laguna Beach, CA at The Deck restaurant.
The evening progressed to a sunset dinner hosted by Bosch at The Deck restaurant where we met and talked with many of the a Bosch team members.
Bosch even added their "stamp" to our desserts.
Early the next morning we were straight over to the Bosch Experience & Design Center, a full showroom of product displays and a full functioning kitchen. I took to Bosch's integrated coffee machines. The built-in coffee makers provide everything from coffee, espresso, cappuccino, at the touch of a button in record making seconds. As a coffee connessier, I was addicted. And kept going back, for more, and more, and more. As everyone knows! So good.
By late morning, we were learning everything about Bosch design and engineering with demonstrations in their modern state of the art kitchens.
And by noon we were in the kitchen ourselves, with interactive cooking and preparing our lunch for the day! (Bloggers seen here teamed up with Bosch employees.)
Fortunately everything cleaned up well, in the quietest of dishwashers from Bosch.
Our afternoon was spent with presentations by Dwell and round table discussions.

Design Source: fiber and water
I was recently introduced to the online source of Fiber and Water: a collection of accessories, including wall art and pillows, printed on burlap. Hand-crafted in Maine, with many patterns having a nautical theme, I was instantly attracted given my beach and boating upbringing on the Southern California coast. So much so, I encouraged Phoebe of Fiber and Water to reach out to our local boutiques, especially those of my hometown of Newport Beach and Balboa Island. Here are some of my favorite finds!
Love this coral pillow in teal.
The Reef Knot: Remiscent of my boating days.
A collection of map prints are available in both pillows and wall art.
For the dog lovers: cute pug prints.
Last but not least: I'm loving all the pattern prints!
A fun orange chevron.
