I guess time really does fly when you're having fun! Fabian and I had the most amazing week in Napa visiting various wineries, indulging in the most delicious meals, and enjoying the beautiful scenery on daily bike rides and strolls. We usually go on city vacations where we go, go, go the whole time as we aren't really beach people. This was the first vacation we've had in a  very long time where we not only had fun, but felt completely relaxed. It was total bliss! Today, it's back to reality and the daily grind, but I will be back soon with a full recap of our time in Napa and San Francisco with plenty of recommendations, so stay tuned! Happy Monday!</center><center style="text-align: left;"></center><center><img src="http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww267/fabkcreative/2012/Signature-3.png" /></center>

We have been having a wonderful time in Napa and will be heading to San Francisco today. In honor of our trip, I wanted to feature an interior designer from the Bay Area today, so this beautiful living room was designed by my friend and fellow blogger and designer, <a href="http://grantkgibson.com/" target="_blank">Grant K. Gibson</a>. I was immediately drawn in by the glamorous space featuring pretty jewel tones and gold accents against a neutral backdrop. While the more significantly sized pieces--the rug and sofa are grey, they are far from boring. The rug features a large-scaled Greek key pattern and the sofa has beautiful tufting detail. I love mixing bold patterns and infusing rooms with a pop of color, so my eye is also drawn to the beautiful, peacock blue slipper chairs and tiger print ottomans.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilCYuoiHGNv0F5d0UksUtxszmssKLP2FxH3OjuQFxfe-IIKQ7wHLcZ9NrFluE93GyHWtLm6DPo5WLKBMTxNvA_osox2zG5Lq-1vL7579zezY_7ETW_lzLMyOmHyFzJKvUbSCH3dF7RoUfJ/s1600/Snip20140207_3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilCYuoiHGNv0F5d0UksUtxszmssKLP2FxH3OjuQFxfe-IIKQ7wHLcZ9NrFluE93GyHWtLm6DPo5WLKBMTxNvA_osox2zG5Lq-1vL7579zezY_7ETW_lzLMyOmHyFzJKvUbSCH3dF7RoUfJ/s1600/Snip20140207_3.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">{I love the sophisticated mix that Grant created in this room.
