More pictures of a Baja Building Project

These are photos as the construction is taking place in Elias Callais Baja Sur Mexico. This project is about 35 north of Cabo San Lucas on the Pacific side.

The crew is working hard to make this vacation home a special place.  

This project is a series of buildings. There is the main house, the sleeping quarters, the mechanical building for the solar etc. the garage for the "toys" and an outdoor kitchen. A beautiful pool has just been finished too. l I am awaiting the pictures and will post when I get them.

To build your home in southern Baja, contact me. Oregon phone 503-999-3992 or email suzannemariesinteriors@gmail.com. Jason, my son, has a great crew to build what ever you can design. He is a master wood worker & bi-lingual.  He has a very modern shop & the best crew around. I am available to help with all the interior design. My own Casa is going to be beginning very soon. Waiting on final plans.

Can also help locate lots on beach or inland for magnificent views.

More building on the Baja MX

Clients from Washington had my son  Jason build them their vacation home  and it is just getting finished. I helped them with their colors. They found us via this blog. I took a trip to MX to see the home during construction. We were able to select the colors by email and a meeting in my Salem OR office.  They described a beautiful sunset they had seen while on the beach and said they would like to use those colors. While I was in MX I went to that beach where their new home was being constructed. Using paint fan decks I selected colors that I thought fit their sunset. Back in the states I ordered large paint samples for their  approval.  The clients said I got it right. Yahoo. The paint store in Todos Santos matched our US paint chips  and another beautiful Mexican casa is now almost complete. More pictures coming soon.

If you want to build on the southern Baja from Todos  Santos to Cabo Sam Lucas please contact me via email. I would be happy to talk to you about your project.

Tasetful and Bold!

Here are a few fun photos I have collected for what I call Tasteful Bold Color.  I have seen some really ugly bold color schemes in rooms. Colors need to be simple combinations and not fight with each other.   You don't want a room that screams at you.  I think these ideas are tasteful. These are very bright but they are simple and in most cases it is one or two pieces that creates the drama.  Much of it is only paint so take a look and see if you might be bold in one of your rooms this year.

If the room on the left is just too much for yourtaste try adding just one item like this a cute little ottoman with dressmaker details for a little punch.

Add a statement chair and a high contrast pillow for a simple piece of drama to a room. The painted stripe side table adds just enough color to make it very interesting. This could be a do-it-yourself project using bright lacquer paint and painters tape to keep your paint lines straight.

On the right is another version of the darling little ottoman.  What a statement that would make in a girls bedroom. Teens and little ones alike would appreciate this cutie.  The room on the left creates its bold look with two contrasting colors (aqua and various shades of pink). They kept neutral walls and main furniture The bulletin board with it's tasteful bold color as well as the 2 book shelves are what carry the room.  By grouping the  accessories into  a variety of shades of the same color  you avoid the screaming effect you might have if too many colors were used.

How about ONE wild chair.  Notice how color changes a traditional wing back to a contemporary statement piece.




For more bold color ideas click on the right side column on Bold colors.  You will be directed to an idea book I put together for fun Bold Color rooms.  Remember, NOT TOO MUCH, and paint is easy to change when you tire of the combination you have selected.
