FABRIC FABRIC LINE

This post is dedicated to my most favorite of all fabric lines, ROMO.  My trips to LA are mostly revolved around visiting the Showroom that carries this line of fabric.  My design color concepts are created from the fabrics I get inspired by not so much from pictures in magazines or on the web.  So, when I get the green light on a new project the first thing I do is start looking for the perfect "lead" fabric.  Then my design builds out from there. 

  

 Romo Fabrics are so versatile in patterns and their palette is unbeatable. 

Love.

I love a great stripe!  Romo has some of the most beautiful stripes.

I love the touches of raspberry with robin's egg blue

More raspberry love......

LOVE this stripe!

Beautiful burst of coral

This line also carries equally fantastic wallcoverings. 

Most of their fabrics have coordinating wallpapers.

I am not sure if you can buy this line at retail but I have seen a few pillows on Etsy.....

STYLISH FAMILY HOME IN LADERA RANCH

Some of you may have seen a few of these pictures on my website but I wanted to add the entire series from the photo shoot of this home with Ashlee Raubach.

I love the burst of Orange in this color scheme and the fact that the "Great Room" is stylish yet comfortable for this family of 6! 

WHAT'S IN A NAME?

I have been asked several times where the name "Belmont Design Group" originated.  The most common assumption is that Belmont is a family name.  The truth is, I was living on Naples Island (an island of homes adjacent to Belmont Shore,CA) and was in love with my town!  My husband and I were young and childless and having a great time (oh, the memories....sigh)!

I began working on residential projects while living in Belmont Shore so Belmont Design Group just fit.  I have such fond memories of that time in my life and I love that I still have a piece of it!

I would go for morning runs around these canals.  I don't know what is more shocking, the fact that I would go on morning runs or the fact that I actually lived so close to these canals!!  We lived in a glorified bird house built in 1942 and spent three long years re-modeling it...we were so in love with the location we decide our "tear down" would be a fun project (did I mention we were young and clearly naive)!

There is a wide range of shopping and restaurants on 2nd Street.  If you live locally it is a great day trip!

~Home Sweet Home~

 This was our lovely kitchen in need of some TLC.

 My favorite thing about this kitchen was the pot filler!!!

I can still smell the salty air mixed with old moldy walls looking at this picture!

~The Journey~

 

 For MONTHS we would come home from work and start ripping down our walls until we would fall asleep.  We did everything ourselves and lived in this mess!  I would never attempt this kind of demo again unless I had somewhere else to go to GET AWAY!

 My sweet nephew spent the weekend at our house and we even put him to work!

My husband and I literally took this house down to its studs and re-built it.  I would never do it again but it was a great learning experience....about re-modeling AND relationships! ;)
