Everyone was part of the photo shoot for our new website coming soon - yes even our furry fearful leader but we love her. Thank you Blake @slotography for another fun session. Always love spending time with you. #brandrelaunch #2021goals #30yearsinbusiness #sanluisobispocounty

Perfect! #illtakeit #custompaintedtile #notafraidofcolor #powderroom

A few highlights from Atlanta! 1. A few new four-legged best friends were made. 2. The green velvet chair feels like a happy hug. 3. Glass blown pendant lights. 4. Apparently the new thing is up cycling a bicycle into a bar. ... #americasmartatlanta #adacatlanta #interiordesign #customlighting #bicyclebar #murphythedog #emmethedog @ Atlanta, Georgia

Welcoming Amanda to our design team and training her virtually has been easier than we thought. WELCOME AMANDA! Amanda grew up in Arroyo Grande, went to school at Oregon State University and after working in Oregon for a well known home construction company she came back to her roots. We are excited to have her join us. #workathome #sanluisobispointeriordesign #interiordesigner #downtownslo #stay-strong #firstdayofwork

So many exciting details on this winery project that will be opening in the next couple of weeks. Furniture installed Art installation next week! #interiordesignershaveallthefun #interiordesigners #winerydesign #gpandjbaker #mooiwallcovering #koroseal @ Paso Robles, California

I stopped by #allegrettovineyardresort today to take care of something for them and was happy to grab this shot of the sitting area in the lobby but was also sad to know it’s the first time since they opened that guests weren’t sitting there. I hope to see this beautiful resort bustling with happy people again soon. #staystrong #stayhealthy

We are getting close to install day on Inn at Roses Landing. Our finishes are looking amazing. So excited to have if all come together. #boutiquehoteldesign #interiordesign @koroseal @moeninc #retrostyle Stay Tuned....

A fun morning spent with High School students at the Local 7 Chapter FCCLA at Laguna Middle School. We evaluated and judged their student project presentations. What a great experience for these teenagers learning how to prepare, organize and present their projects to a panel of professionals. We are proud to share that the participants we judged all scored well enough to move on to the State Competition!

After years of planning it’s so gratifying so see this one of a kind home come to life. The team working on this project is one of the most talented, dedicated and knowledgeable I know of. This is our second time we have been together building a home for these dream clients. Stay tuned as the fourth level and funicular are installed and we get to start on the fun stuff - the interior finishes. #theslolife #uniquehomes #bishoppeak #interiordesign #luxurylifestyle #modernarchitecture #onewithnature @ San Luis Obispo, California

Looking for art inspiration for a new hospitality project in San Diego and found it at my childhood home. @amosrobinson made a kinetic piece in honor of my dear sweet dad who loved to cruise on his bike around our hometown of Solana Beach. Looking forward to spending more time in San Diego as this project develops. #interiordesign #hospitalitydesign #solanabeach #kineticart #pillboxbeach #familyhistory @ Solana Beach, California

Instead of a traditional holiday party we spend a day shopping and wrapping gifts for needy children. It’s our favorite part of the holidays. Another successful #secretsanta Christmas! #giveback #sanluisobispo

Kudos to our #superstar designer Ehron. She is a special person as well as a talented designer. We’ve been working together for 20 years and I couldn’t imagine a better gift for her than this email she received from her client. #interiordesigner #grateful #makinglivesbetter

Thank you for including me in your blog. I’m always happy to share my experiences with future designers.

One of my favorite art pieces we have had made over the years. This grape image was printed on old European viticulture books. It’s hard to believe it’s been 4 years since we finished Allegretto. Came by today to discuss a few upgrades to the suites. Stay tuned. #wineart #hoteldesigner #pasorobles #hospitalitydesign @ Allegretto Vineyard Resort by Ayres

Excited to see how this Powder room will finish out! #glasstile #oceansidetile #dimensionaltile #modernranchhouse

#throwbackthursday A project from 2008! It’s always good to reflect on past projects. Especially successful ones! #modernbathroom @oceansideglasstile @robern @ San Luis Obispo, California

Our favorite of the Consistent finds along the halls of #hpmkt2019 #rattanfurniture @selamatdesigns #lucitefurniture @centuryfurniture #grassclothfurniture @thibaut_1886 #longfringe ottomans. Loved the unique at to #repurpose old rugs #frameit @loloirugs @ccidslo @ High Point, North Carolina

We had a great time connecting with all of our reps @jeffsimko1967 and meeting design icons #thomasobrien #martynlawrencebullard Time to head home to recover from all the parties and food! Thank you #mohawkcarpet for bringing us to the East Coast and the mill tour. #interiordesign #interiors @ High Point Furniture Market, North Carolina

Robert, the owner of @curreyco and his dog Rivas. #dogloversunite There is nothing better than an #officedog Having a great time at #hpmkt2019 We also we’re able to meet Lindsay from @designmanager - we are very excited to up our game in 2020 with them! Tomorrow- #comfortableshoes and 50 more showrooms #interiordesign @ High Point, North Carolina

We just went on a tour of the new @hotelsanluisobispo after attending @downtownslo annual breakfast. Great job @genslersanfrancisco An amazing addition to our community. Thank you for being our guests Thom, Heather and Geri @arrisstudio #hospitalitydesign #hiphotels #sanluisobispo @ Hotel San Luis Obispo

One of the greatest #creativemindsatwork His use of glass as his medium to release his ideas is mind blowing. I can finally check this museum off on my bucket list. Well worth the wait. #greatartists @ Chihuly Garden and Glass

Nothing like an escape to nature for some #colorinspiration. It was extremely crowded in the Yosemite Valley but there are so many #hiddentrails to explore. #mcgurkmeadow #hennessridge @ Yosemite National Park

Room Details...it’s all about the trim. #osborneandlittle #ninacampbell

Artist #brucemunro installation of fiber-optics is a unique experience to walk through. #lightart #sensorio #visitpasorobles @ Sensorio

Missing my dogs. #walkinthepark display Pretty amazing wall of art by @ldfsilk @hdexpo #hdexpo2019 #ldfsilk

So far my favorite thing at #hdexpo2019 #koroseal #moooi velvet wallcovering. So velvet soft and I’m enamored with the animals in their costumes.

28 years ago today was the beginning of Design Collaborative. Starting with this first kitchen. It’s been a journey. Thank you to all of my collaborators, amazing team and clients I could only dream of having back in 1991. It was fun to look back and search for a few pictures that #tellthestory #interiordesignprofessional #designer #allegrettovineyardresort #commercialinteriors #residentialinteriors #hospitalitydesign @ San Luis Obispo, California

Trying to get to #carrizzo this weekend but if I don’t #superbloom2019 in my own backyard will do the trick.

Best of #kbis2019 Had a great trip to the show this year. Many #wonderfulideas and new products. If only the weather cooperated travel would have been tolerable. #snowinvegas2019

First day The International Builders' Show (IBS) Loving all of the #colorfulappliances Most of all loving @curtisstone So nice of him to come over and introduce himself to us. @ Las Vegas Convention Center

So honored to meet @kellywearstler at her studio yesterday and see what she is working on. So impressed with all she has accomplished with her brand. A truely #genuinebeauty inside and out. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to spend with us. Thank you @kravetinc for putting this together. Very excited for Kelly’s next launch.

Sending our #holidaylove to 2 kids that lost their homes in the #paradisefire Enjoy Justice and Haley. Sending you #christmascheer

#itsbeginningtolookalotlikechristmas First shipment of client gifts heading to the post office!

Cooper is ready for the holidays! Not sure if the holidays are ready for him. #6montholdpuppy #marblemountainkennels #holidayspirit

Nothing like a little New Orleans hospitality @commanderspalace #jamesbeardaward and award winning interiors. In my humble opinion. The wallcovering details are mesmerizing. @ Commander's Palace

An incredible video on screen printing. Mesmerizing! https://www.facebook.com/1154277975/posts/10214754832441791/

Great video. Shows what a beautiful RV resort we were happy to be a part of.

#californiasunset Great color palette for our new boutique hotel project in #morrobay Another beautiful night on the #centralcoast

#grandopening of @cavaroblesrvresort We are proud to be a part of this one of a kind RV resort. Thank you Sun Communities and @tenoverstudio for asking us to be part of this project. We are looking forward to a #staycation ourselves. @ Cava Robles RV Resort

Welcome Cooper to #designcollaborative. Hard to believe this little peanut will be 7 times larger soon. #chocolatelab #marblemountainkennels @ San Luis Obispo, California

Awesome day at Dodger Stadium with Bob and Cheryl. #gododgers #kershaw These #seatsareamazing

Is it July 21st yet? I want my baby brother to play with me #imbored #blacklabsmatter New Chocolate Labrador pup to join the family soon #marblemountainkennels

Looking forward to stepping it up a notch with our CAD program! Kelly and Michele will be off to Arizona to learn how to expand our drawing techniques and soak in in some of the beauty of the Arizona Desert.

This is why we love design! Happy customers and clients. Congratulations Cava Robles and Sun Communities.

The team had a great time searching for new ideas the last few days in Los Angeles. One of my favorite stops! @samuelandsons #trim #tassels #pompomtrim

Was so intrigued by this beautiful guitar made of driftwood and other items found on the beach here in Eureka. Normally this is not my thing but I couldn’t stop staring at it. #driftwoodart

New color for the latest in velvet fabrics #blacklabvelvet #blacklabsmatter

We are excited to share this offer for the new Luxury RV resort we designed in Paso Robles - and you don't HAVE to have an RV to go. They also have quaint cottages in some of the areas to rent. Check it out!

Looking forward to seeing the bathroom we just drew up and specified using this #franklloydwright design. #motawitileworks The details in each piece are #inspiring

Our yearly #secretsanta shopping day for kids at Hawthorne Elementary. Thanks @jnunno. Always a great day of #givingbacktothecommunity in the #holidayspirit

New bike for the office. So beautiful today I could have kept riding all the way to the beach after my appointment. #downtownslo Thanks to the #slobikekitchen for getting us on 2 wheels.

The good and bad of SLO. Someone decided to destroy our pumpkins last night and left a dirty diaper in the bushes. Last month they destroyed our beautiful flowers in the pots. We’ve been decorating our entrance for the community for years and it’s getting worse downtown with the homeless and drunk students. #whathappenedtorespect #downtownslo

Table 48 Fundraiser for the Women's Shelter of SLO. Reserve yours today through September 30th. 100% of the proceeds will go to the shelter. You have to call ahead and reserve Table 48. Great lunch MOTAV.

Love this lady! Follow your passion....................

One of the room schemes for the new boutique hotel we are designing in Arroyo Grande. Emphasizing our beautiful agricultural land and bountiful harvests. Never shy of color - Arte walls and Clarke and Clarke Fabrics.

A sneak peek of some model homes in the newest neighborhood in San Luis Obispo...Toscano opening soon! #toscano #midlandpacificbuilders @dc2slo

Sneak Peak at the Toscano model homes we are doing in SLO. #plaid marble shower tile with Carrera Marble hex. Grand Opening in April!

We just got "LOCKED INN". Our first time at an escape room. You should never require designers to do measuring. They get down to the 1/8". Can be a problem with clues - but we had fun! Can't wait to go back!! Also a good way to welcome Barkley to our team.

Just had a tour of our new airport. After my experience in our existing one yesterday I am beyond excited for this to happen. A much needed addition to our county. #slocounty #visitslo

Another great day. In Arizona selecting pieces for the new luxury RV resort we are designing for Sun Communities in Paso Robles. Look for Cava Robles in the near future. #uniquefinds #luxuryrv

Have to add a Tess update. She's getting so big. Great office dog! Hanging out in the steeple on our break room chairs. Looking pretty comfortable.
