interior design obsession

Since I moved back to Chicago, I've been actively searching for jobs. Well, to learn about the interior design industry, and keep busy, I've also been working part-time for Alexandra Berlin Design

Ah-mazing. 

It has been so fun learning about the industry, getting lost at the Mart, and most recently perusing a marble warehouse for a client's bathroom - where I fell in love with cararra marble. I love the clean lines and simple colors of white and grey. And did you know that according to the sales lady, it is also the most affordable of the marbles? I'll take two slabs, please.

Here are my favorite spaces using this perfect material.

Do you just drool for that chevron tiled floor? It's unreal. And, I would just love getting ready in that bathroom every morning.

Adore Carrara marble! We re-did our house in Nov. and used it in our Kitchen (risky I know) and bathrooms. The marble warehouses are insane!
