Big Time Inspiration


Check out this issue of Veranda if you want to be inspired. I'm a big fan of 60's modern homes and vow one day to actually live in one. But this one featured in Veranda really caught my eye. For one thing is gorgeous and second, it's located in Tampa, Florida. In fact, I used to jog by it every morning (when I lived there), and marvel at the construction; it was fun to watch a new element of the home go up everyday. That was three years ago...

Now, we can thank Veranda Magazine for taking us inside. I always wondered what became of my dream home. What's not to love, right? I want to thank my friend Jennifer Goldberg for reminding me of the article. Now we just have to recreate the look in Cleveland, Ohio. Seriously, anyone local have ideas?

Luxe Life: Santa Barbara





Santa Barbara, California is my dream relocation destination. I was lucky enough to visit for spring break with my 6-year old twins, to research the possibility of moving there and fulfilling my twenty-plus-year dream. We lived it up at the Biltmore Four Season's Hotel and spent a glorious afternoon at the luxurious San Ysidro Ranch, among other things. The Spanish architecture, the lush plant life and the breathtaking ocean views, brought a smile to my face all week long. I'm already dreaming of my next visit, and who knows, maybe the future home of Tonic Home...

Silver Mania



Silver...

We've been holding out on this "in" color for months. But now suddenly, we've become obsessed with the reflective and soothing tone of shiny silver.

Oly Studio introduced its vintage silver at market a few months ago. From the Elizabeth Buffet Cabinet to the Copake Side Table, the Klemm Mirror, Anni Chandelier, vases and clam linens (Dermond Peterson). It has a refreshing quality to it that grows on you. Contact sales@tonichome.com for all products shown here.

Peacock, Super Paradise, Santorini, Sunglasses, Trellis..are all dynamic prints and patterns offered in breezy colorways, mainly blues and citrus shades, like punch (coral), pool (blue) and parrot (green). All the styles look great on anything; including chairs , curtains and/or cushions.



Mix and match and create an outdoor oasis. Now all you need is some groovy outdoor furniture. Then top off the looks with some ceramic tea stools, and you've created a sizzling look for the summer season. We got it all here at www.tonichome.com
