Happy New Year LUXE readers! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday!! We've been working hard here on new projects, and wanted to let you know that we will be switching things up a little in the new year.

When we launched Luxe Report, our goal was to always bring as much personal inspiration as possible to our posts. Of course, this was usually in the form of our personal photos. There are many blogs out there who are wonderful at cultivating images from the web to form posts with common interests and themes. So why reinvent the wheel?! We wanted to bring you as much of our personal portfolio and inspiration as possible, but sometimes when forming an entire post worthy of publishing, we struggled. Sometimes snippets of a project we're working on, favorite new purchases, or items that are currently inspiring us, are more worthy of a simple photograph. Like the old saying...a photograph is worth a thousand words! We have decided that the best way for us to do this is through our new Instagram account, @LuxeReportDesigns. Instagram will take the place of our daily blogs in this effort to bring you an even closer look at day to day happenings and detailed shots of our projects without needing to create an entire "post" to bring them to you. In addition, a new Luxe Report Designs website is coming. Stay tuned!

We hope you'll make the move and follow us, we are so thankful for your support!

This photo, and so much more to come at the new @LuxeReportDesigns Instagram account!

xo,

Stay tuned for the final execution!

Luxe Report Designs: Friday Vignettes: Client's Playroom

Here's a sneak peak into a client's fun, colorful yet totally sophisticated playroom! We are in love with the gallery wall that was started with our client's children's artwork. A few of the pieces were so good, we considered taking them for ourselves! :)

More of this fun room to come. Happy Friday!

Luxe Decor: Gray Malin's Photography

I find art is one of the toughest categories to source for my home and especially for clients. Great, original and affordable artwork is not always easy to come by. And on top of that, it so personal. It's important to have a connection to the art you hang in your home. It should evoke a feeling or a memory, "speak" to you in some way, or at the very least you should just LOVE it.

Recently we stumbled upon the photography of Gray Malin. While all his work is remarkable, we are both particularly fond of his "A la Plage, A la Piscine" series and his latest series "La Dolce Vita".

One of the reasons we love living in South Florida so much is we are constantly surrounded by water...whether lounging by the pool or basking under an umbrella at the beach... It's the same reason we're captivated by Gray's work...He captures the beauty of the water and the beaches and the good life! We love his vibrant colors, subject matter and his incredible perspective.

La Dolce Vita

It just so happened I was in the Amalfi Coast the same time Gray was shooting his "La Dolce Vita" series of Italian beaches! While I believe we were in Positano the same day, unfortunately our paths never crossed... But I was so excited to see how he captured the spectacular coastal town that I fell in love with. Love it all!! Well done Gray!

Check out all his work on his site maisongray.com

Recently we did an installation for a clients dining room where we use Gray's "Miami Edgy Hotel Pool". It looks incredible!

More photos of the installation to come!

Luxe Report Designs: Breakfast Nook Before & After

We've been working with a client on a whole home overhaul. She was ready for a big change, a fresh coat of paint on the walls, new flooring and a major furniture purge.

One of the first rooms we focused on was her breakfast nook. Understandably so, she didn't want to devote too much of the budget to the nook. She already had a custom banquette, so we saw a wonderful opportunity for some fun, new upholstery. Remember how much we are loving the upholstered banquette look?!

The old nook had lots of yellow, red and black, so we freshened up the corner with some white paint and a bright turquoise fabric to introduce a new color palette. A white faux bamboo pagoda chandelier gave it that touch of vintage Palm Beach we love, and the tulip table and ghost chairs added modernity to the space. We brought in a sisal rug to delineate the nook, and for a very personal touch, we commissioned our client's artist daughter to create a beautiful, monochromatic abstract before she left for college. Nothing better than hanging a piece of truly meaningful art! And of course, tropical plants and fun décor accessories finish off the space!
