USF College of Medicine

It is completed! I gave you a sneak peak of the College of Medicine last month and now have the final photos. The University of South Florida's College of Medicine is one of my most recent projects. They wanted a renovation to bring the student areas up to date which included the aesthetics and technology throughout classrooms and study environments. 

Group Learning is an area of collaborative study areas, multiple classrooms and lecture spaces. The classroom sizes range from small, intimate spaces, that seat about a dozen students, to large lecture rooms that seat over 70 students. All spaces are highly equipped with audio visual technology that includes projectors, projection screens, camera's and flat panel monitors for video conferencing and a wide range of learning/teaching capabilities from off-site locations.










The amount of technology and AV that is incorporated into the Auditorium is incredible and is an innovative place for students to learn. The space includes electronically retractable Skyfold partitions which divide the space into four separate classrooms. Each area is powered with projection screens, audio/visual capabilities, white boards along the partitions and advanced video conferencing.

Double

It's Friday! 
(and I couldn't be happier about it)

I know I have been missing-in-action these past couple weeks but what is a busy woman suppose to do? I am trying my best to jump back on the blog-train. And I promise to spend a bit more time with my LiveLove&Repeat readers.

Seeing double these days. I have always admired the double lamp look on a high dresser or console table. Currently working on this look for my girlfriend's condo. She has a great niche off to one side of her kitchen (photos to come) which creates a perfect cubby for this display of light, trinkets and family photos. I will be doing a post soon on her condo transformation but until then here are some inspiration photos for the double look.

Utterly Obsessed

I can't seem to get enough of it. Ikat that is. 
On a hunt for a great crimson, wine colored Ikat patterned fabric for my friends condo I am helping refresh. Found a few great options at Calico Corners but was a little shocked by the prices. I am going to need several yards due to the floor to ceiling height I am trying to span. I blame the high prices on my good taste... right.

On another note, I came across these stunning mosaic tiles that mimic the Ikat pattern. Obviously would be used in a specialized area. I love.

Ceiling Love

Thinking of making Eye candy Wednesday's a weekly post...

Some great ceiling inspiration for this week. I think most of us tend to forget this part of our homes. I visited a family friend years ago who made me realize the limitless possibilities when detailing a ceiling. Every room in her entire home had an elaborate, themed ceiling. Wish I had taken photos.



The stained wood planks and beams will always warm a room up. Though a lot of work for a DIY, it can be done.


The gypsum details and crown molding in this photo are so elegant. Love.


Paint. Easy DIY and inexpensive.


I love the ceiling being the focal point in this space. Created with wallpaper.




Have a fantastic Wednesday!

Restoration Hardware just released their Fall 2011 Trade Source Book and a copy is floating around my office. Bam, page 17, I am in love. Foucault's Orb Crystal Chandelier. 




Pricey but would be so worth it...
