My last morning in Sonoma began with watching Ariella set up an inspiration wall. All around us were beautiful flowers.

Ariella likes to begin a project with a real inspiration board. Yes she loves Pinterst, but she also enjoys a touchable live wall of inspiration.

The first board we brought to life was an orange contemporary design. This table was set up in Kristi and Robert’s pool house. We completely redesigned this space and then dined on an amazing lunch at our beautiful table.

Many thanks to chef Sheana Davis for her culinary delights. Dinning with her was absolutely extraordinary. Sheana is also a culinary educator.

I loved seeing lettuce this fresh being cut for our salads. The lunches Sheana provided for us were amazing!!!

After lunch we designed our second table scape. This design was a more romantic warm look. I should also mention all of the linens were from La Tavola. God I love their linens!!!

My time with Ariella was amazing and I will always be grateful for the time I had with her!!

Many thanks to Robert and Kristi for hosting such a beautiful event, I loved their home and my time at the Twin Palms. I also want to thank Robert for allowing us to cut just a few stems from his garden. Well maybe I cut more than a few stems!!!!

I loved Sonoma, I loved The Twin Palms, and I loved Ariella Chezar.
