A new collaborative effort between Versace Ceramic Design and tile manufacturer Gardenia-Orchidea brings a beautiful collection called Palace Stone.
This powerful collection delivers textured orsemi-polished geometric tiles for both walls and floors. Tile sizes range from small mosaics to large format tiles. Exquisite details include metal inlays and relief patterns that look hand crafted.
The back of each tile is engraved with the Versce Logo to prevent counterfeiting.
The Obamas have named Michael S. Smith as their Interior Designer for the White House interiors.
Smith is known for his inventive style of mixing Old World classicism with very contemporary settings.
His style can be called a blend of European tradition and American modernism. The result is a comfortable elegance, a non-theatrical look that is ultimately very understated in its presentation. Congratulations Michael!

I want to share this great Kitchen I found on Bloomacious, a fun blog full of style, entertaining and health tips.
This is the personal kitchen of Lara Fishman, founder of Storm Interiors in Los-Angeles. I love the mix of modern and vintage finds set in neutral tones. I think the dark Moorish doors on the sleek white island is most striking. This is a great example of how a modern white kitchen can be warm and inviting.
The paired-down styling is very popular right now – especially since the world outside is hectic and uncertain. Re-purposing vintage legs for the eating area table also makes this kitchen Eco-chic.
Electrolux named Marcello Zuffo as the Grand Prize Winner with his futuristic kitchen entry. The conceptual kitchen has movable components that can be reconfigured to adapt to the task at hand and is a sculptural component to a typically rectangular space.
“As a city dweller myself, I congratulate Marcello for addressing lack of space with a completely unique concept,” said Cindy Allen, judge and editor-in-chief of Interior Design Magazine. “The jury especially loved the ‘knuckle,’ which swivels, and allows the kitchen to serve utilitarian and sculptural purposes simultaneously.”
In its second year, the design competition, challenged members of the architect and design community to present innovative, thoughtful concepts for a kitchen that meets the changing needs of today’s modern family.
Marcello is a Senior Designer at Motorola’s Consumer Experience Design Group (CXD)
Congrats Marcello!
