Introduction to Beautiful Brazil Design



 I fell in love with Brazil awhile back, when I was designing a kitchen for a pair of clients. 
Their only request was to make it modern and keep it warm. 
Truth be told -  Brazil at that time was not completely on my radar yet. 
 I stumbled on it doing research for the project and the more I dug in the more I fell in love.
If you're not that familiar with Brazil? 
Let me just tell you the landscape is simply breathtaking and the Design extraordinary.
It's where sleek and modern meets the Jungle.
It's Lush, Concrete, Colorful, Earthy, Graphic and very Musical.

1930's Bermuda Style





There is just so much inspiration out there! Bermuda is a perfect example. When I think of Bermuda - I think of the 30's, 
I think of greens and whites that compliment the pink colors of the sand:
