27 December 2012

day: twenty eight

fashion tells us a lot about an individual. and, is it just me, or has the entire human race become so much more concerned about our personal fashion presentation? let's face it, how we are dressed is our first calling card. it's good to make the right impression- yes? and home fashion has become just as important for us when it comes to our nests. the access to more home design inspiration (blogs, tv, the web) has become much more prevalent, turning our eye toward a universe of possibilities. givenchy haute couture spring 2011 gowns

today, our white tile extravaganza continues with a nod to a more high-brow elegance, with tiles that will turn any (your?) kitchen backsplash into the tiled version of a givenchy gown. what exactly might that mean? well for instance, take the lovely givenchy gowns, below. anyone anywhere would turn into a cinderella overnight in one of these willowy frocks. (sign me up!)

here are two high fashion clé tiles that will take your kitchen straight to the red carpet. get out your rouge and powder your noses!

hunt studio ripple

mined since the renaissance, white marble from the carrara mountains of italy is probably THE prized marble of the world, especially for art and architecture. wherever it is used- art, fine furnishings, counters, floors, kitchens, fountains, etc. - carrara marble fans will find the hand carved carrara from hunt studio beyond any current use of carrara, this side of michelangelo's david. if your kitchen (or any other deserving space in your home) longs for the majestic sweep of carrara marble in the hand sculpted artistry of hunt studio's ripple, or other collections from hunt studio, you can find them all at clé.
