I think the easiest path to loading pictures on this forum is thru Photobucket.com. After you get your picture uploaded to your Album in Photobucket, which is easy because it shows you step by step what to do, you simply place you cursor on the picture and a little menu pops up. Click on "HTML Code" and immediately a yellow box pops up that says "copied". What you have done is parked your picture on Photobucket and copied the address where it *lives*. You can then open a "Message" window here on this forum and PASTE in the HTML Code which is the address where your picture now *lives*. Becareful not to delete any brackets or details from the HTML Code. Leave a couple returns (lnes or spaces) above and below the HTML Code. You can type your "Message" above or below the code. Or you can email me and I will post your pic here. It's not like who I am or my email is a big secret so here it is. :) lori@colorstrategies.net

Hello to a Bay Area neighbor! I don't have a specific person to recommend, based on experience, but a great source of names is the link below. Angela Free, Jay Jeffers and Kendall Wilkinson have especially nice portfolios you can look at on their sites. I have a number of designers bookmarked for various reference reasons, and I *think* I may have someone from Oakland as well. You style home is popular there too. If I do, I'll post back. Here is a link that might be useful: SF Showcase Designers

Thank you, we're really happy with the way everything came together. The backsplash looks much better in person, of course, and I just love it! we chose the color rainstorm in a crackle finish. Heres the link https://sonomatilemakers.com/product/stellar-marea/

Yes, its possible to make your interior what you love...modern Mediterranean means what to you? Provide pics of a room or rooms you want to start with and create an ideabook with inspiration pics. Heres just a few pics... to me it means high contrast ie white walls with dark wood pieces like perhaps a dark wood coffee table with curved legs, wrought iron but simple lines, not ornate, simple lines in furniture, colorful pillows, large pieces of pottery, cyprus, olive trees, lemon trees
