We are going to miss all the contemporary interior design at the ICFF, but we can share some FFF images we have seen lately.

Here is some inspiration to mull over the weekend.

Thank You Melinda Sheckells and all the work she does to raise the bar for Style in Vegas.

And Thanks to Grace Bascos your prose and stylings.

InsideStyle will continue to do their part too!

We first met Todd VonBastiaans (of AliosEntertainment and Architectural Lighting) last year at an event showcasing some of the lighting manufactures that he carries.

In getting to know him, he is a renaissance man, with lighting, art, creating a better community , he does it all.

1st lighting, Lighting is one of the most important components in showcasing whatever you do and if you look at what he has done it is evident.

Light enhances  without needing to be the star of the show… unless you want her to be.

Art, His eye for Art is amazing in many ways from his creations to his collection and it is some of the most thought provoking in the Arts district.

The way he welcomed us to the neighborhood has been a tremendous help to understanding our new home.

We need more people like Todd in our community are lives are better because of what you bring to the neighborhood.

Thanks for all you do!

Tunay Street Dance and T Shirt Studio is located  directly across the street from us.

What is not to love about an article written by XazminGarza about JoJo Peralta, We love her writing style and JoJo is a great neighbor.

For those of you that attended our Grand Opening, they did a routine that left us all wanting for more.

I love supporting people that bring so much to our community in different ways.

Who they Are and What They are Doing:

Build a Greener Block (BABG) is a community of Las Vegans looking to take over an empty block in downtown Las Vegas on April 28th and 29th.  For this one weekend we’re transforming the block into a living community.  Instead of empty stores there will be a restaurant offering healthy food, a boutique, a café, flower shop.  We will have a dog park and fitness classes from yoga to an obstacle course for kids.  The streets will be lined with food stands and local farmers selling their vegetables.  There will be classes for all the family – from gardening and canning to learning how to make your own instrument.  And plenty of entertainment – bands street performers, comedians – you name it.  And we want to do it all in the most sustainable way possible– we will use solar power, biodegradable utensils.  Everything will be recycled and upcycled.  Why?  Because we want to show that when all of us come together as a community we can change our neighborhoods.  We can change our towns. We can change our cities.  We want to show that when we join our skills, talents, experiences and resources together we can create the kind of Las Vegas we all want to live in.  But we need your help to build a greener block here in Las Vegas. Donate a few dollars and join us  April 28 and 29 for all the fun.

Couture for Causes

Couture for Causes,  is supporting … a cause that is dear to my heart, As  a State Public Charter School Authority board member,  parent, and concerned citizen of the community.

We have a chance to make a big difference in our City of Las Vegas, as fewer people are leaving and more emphasis is being put on education.

Events like this play a key role in supporting and bringing awareness to this problem.

Communities in Schools Nevada is an organization that is “Leading Dropout Prevention Organization”  for more info on the event and the cause go here.
