Hi, I'm Julie, Chief Executive Empress

of my little apple green design studio.

Welcome to my blog!

When I'm not out visiting a client or searching for just the right  product for a project, I can probably be found in my happy little studio (painted the perfect shade of green), busy drawing up new ideas for a cool kitchen or a "spa-licious" bathroom. I like to share the fun stuff I find along the way!

RANDOM NOTES FROM MY LITTLE

apple green studio

Trend alert: geometric lighting!


The trend in geometric lighting seems to have taken hold in a big way, and I’m seeing fantastic and unusual light fixtures all over the internet - - from chandeliers and pendants to lamps and candleholders. And they come in a range of styles from modern minimalist to dripping with crystals, and in about every shape you can imagine. Plus you can use them in any room in your house.

Light up your room with one of these fun, trendy, new lamps or ceiling fixtures:

Here are two "cages" from Destination Lighting that are very similar in style and color but entirely different shapes, depending on what works best for your room: angular or round.

And here are a couple of unusual shapes, both from World Market. The one on the right is called a quatrefoil, but I have NO idea what the one on the left is called. (And I hate to tell you this, but brass is on its way back In.)
