California Casual - It's Complicated

I love the look and feel of what I call California Casual.  That's what I call the set design in the Christmas movie  It's Complicated. OK, I know it's early February and we're buried in 24" of snow. I admit I'm a little late but I'm finally putting together this post... I've been thinking about it for more than a month.
Open spaces that merge interior and exterior speak to me. Kitchen gardens, herb gardens or any edible garden inspires me to spend more time in the kitchen.... Yet, most of all I absolutely love any design opportunity that gives me the chance to work with natural fabrics, linen drapes, cashmere throws, wool carpet and introduce elements of green decor into a space.
