Come out this Sunday for #brunch and get ready to 😭😁..Roman Suarez aka @thefunnylatino will be performing his stand up comedy (Ticket Link in Bio); His origin, comedic sense and delivery are easy to distinguish. Born and raised in The Bronx, Roman studied Law in college which is when he began his employment in the entertainment industry. The industry served as his public speaking training ground. From his time at MTV, to working at SONY, Universal Music Group and a list of the nation's major music distribution companies led him to being featured in Billboard Magazine, listed as an industry Top Mover & Shaker.  But once executives were replaced by interns, sales meetings turned into group email chats and physical stores morphed into digital ones, Roman moved on to the realm of Comedy. Visiting open mics and nourishing relationships with top name comics earned him his time on stage. A graduate of the Comedy School at The World Famous Comic Strip, known as the NYU of Comedy, Roman earned the name “The FunnyLatino” backstage and lives up to his name on stage. He is funny in Spanish as he is in English dominating both languages fluently. He's warmed up audiences for Emmy winning comics as well as performed in Hollywood CA at the Laugh Factory, NYC’s Lincoln center, The Barclay Center, The theater of Performing Arts at Lehman College in The Bronx and the Festival Del Barrio on 116th St.  .

Designer Lookbook: Jackson Thomas Interiors' Classically Coastal Haven

http://ift.tt/2uCDy7u

A dated home on the James River in Williamsburg, VA was in need of a face-lift and a coastal touch to echo its waterside setting.

The home, located in Williamsburg's beautiful Governor’s Land neighborhood, was gutted and updated with timeless materials. Wood floors were refinished in a darker stain, and the walls were painted in a creamy ivory.

While the walls were kept neutral throughout the home, color and personality pop in the fabrics and decor, thanks to the efforts of Jackson Thomas Interiors‘ owner and lead designer Christine Estep, and senior designer Stefanie Powell.

  Drawing design inspiration from interior designer Barclay Butera’s coastal homes, the homeowner requested rooms filled with soothing shades of blue and white, organic textures, and brass. The homeowner also had several family antiques she wanted to incorporate.

"We focused on doing more of the blue and white shades in the great room, because they really pulled in the traditional feel that the homeowner was looking for, while also tying into the water," says Estep.

The designers layered textures like wicker, seagrass, brass, and dark woods to warm up the cool, coastal color palette.

The living room's fireplace facade was covered in a porcelain custom-blend tile with the appearance of a basket weave - a nod to the natural woven fibers used throughout the home.

Good enough to eat

In the kitchen, existing cabinets were updated with a coat of crisp white paint and accessorized with brass bamboo hardware. Berwyn from Cambria quartz countertops with cool gray veining were paired with a sea-glass backsplash.

For contrast, a butcher-block countertop was installed on the island, and oversized brass lanterns add drama and visual interest. Behind the cooktop, an antique tray was transformed into a piece of artwork, framed by sea-glass tile.

In the neighboring dinette, a banquette upholstered in turquoise and blue fabrics ties back to the sea-glass backsplash in the kitchen, paired with a more traditional wooden table and chairs.

Ready for guests

A grass-cloth wallpaper embellished with gold knots provides an elegant backdrop in the powder room. The cozy bathroom is furnished with a small vanity, topped with a copper sink that features a whimsical frog sculpture detail, along with a brushed-bronze faucet and mirror.

In the dining room, Estep covered the walls in grass cloth and introduced a deep orange to the blue-and-white color scheme to create a more formal atmosphere. Artwork collected by the homeowner adds an elegant and personal touch.

"For the dining room, the light fixture was a big launching point, because the homeowner liked brass, and it had a very nautical feel - like a ship’s wheel," Estep adds.

Absolutely dreamy

In the master bedroom, all the furniture and accessories, from the window treatments to the pillows and furniture, were custom-made.

A vibrant peacock blue is paired with a subtle blue-and-ivory paisley fabric used to upholster the headboard and cornice boards. Behind the headboard, an accent wall covered in grass cloth adds subtle texture.

The biggest and most dramatic renovation project was the master bathroom, which was completely gutted and designed so the homeowners could age in place. Wainscoting painted in a cheery white is juxtaposed with a pearlized wallpaper by Fabrica.

Slip-resistant tiles were installed, along with heated flooring throughout the bath and shower. Cambria quartz tops the vanity and surrounds the tub. In the shower, a mix of marble and pearlized tiles are paired with aged brass fixtures, giving the master bath a luxe look.

Get the look at home

Use stone scraps. A small cut of granite or marble is an affordable and easy way to dress up and customize a ready-made vanity. "You can find a piece for next to nothing and have it cut to fit," says Powell. The designers found a small remnant that they had cut to 30 inches wide for the powder room vanity.

Create cohesion with wall color. "In an open-concept home, we always suggest picking one color for common areas - the foyer, great room, corridors - to keep the space light and airy," Powell explains. "In this home, we chose a shade that was a touch down from the trim color. It really expanded the homeowner's space quite a bit."

Layer texture and colors for personality. "You can make a monochromatic color scheme exciting by changing up your patterns and textures," says Estep. "It can really make a space look unique."

Designer Lookbook: Deidre Oliver's Streamlined Master Bath

http://ift.tt/2uitIY1

Designer Deidre Oliver, with Niwot, CO firm Oliver Designs, transformed her neighbor's '90s master bath into a contemporary spa sanctuary with high-end plumbing and beautiful finishes.

Oliver reconfigured the 432-square-foot bathroom’s layout to better utilize the center of the room, which had been empty, wasted space. The original layout consisted of an L-shaped vanity, above-mirror Hollywood lights, and quartz countertops.

Along with a contemporary freestanding soaking tub by Barclay, a beautifully designed double shower (with two entrances and a granite bench) was installed in the center of the space. "They wanted a big walk-in shower," says Oliver.

  Walls were painted in a light gray, and the floor trim a darker gray for contrast. "Gray walls with darker gray on the trim provide a beautiful visual contrast," Oliver explains.

  Structurally, another window was added to bring in more light, and heated ceramic tiles reminiscent of wood were installed throughout (even in the shower) to keep the bathroom warm and cozy while bathing on cold Colorado days. The shower wall was covered in large-format tiles to give it a clean and seamless look.

"The bathroom would've felt cold with all the tile and glass, so we contrasted with warm wood elements for balance," says Oliver. "The wood provides a perfect organic counterpoint to the crisp lines of the walls and countertops."

  A new wood door with frosted glass gives bathers privacy, while also welcoming in natural light, and red oak cabinets were installed for the vanity, creating a "linen closet" for towels and toiletries.

  Polished nickel Atlas Homewares pulls complement the Cifial faucets used for the sinks, bathtub, and shower head.

  Decorative mirrors add a hint of glamour to the vanity, while sconces from Visual Comfort are hung at face height for optimal lighting when beautifying in front of the mirror.

  Get the look at home

Layer your lighting. "You can’t rely on a single light source in a room," says Oliver. "Sometimes you need ambient light, and other times you need task lighting to see your face. Dimmers are good for achieving all-around light, too."

Choose large-format wall tiles. "These allow for fewer grout lines and give the shower a cleaner, more updated look," says Oliver. "And they’re much easier to clean."

Paint old oak trim. "This can really elevate and freshen up a space," says Oliver. "White is a go-to choice for people, but if you’re a bit daring, consider painting trim a much darker color than the wall color."

Balance hard and soft materials. "Anytime you can contrast hard elements - like stone, tile, countertops, and ceramic - with some wood elements, you provide a beautiful counterpoint to something that’s crisp and cool," says Oliver. "The wood really warms up the space and makes it feel more inviting.

  A new wood door with frosted glass gives bathers privacy, while also welcoming in natural light, and red oak cabinets were installed for the vanity, creating a "linen closet" for towels and toiletries.

  Polished nickel Atlas Homewares pulls complement the Cifial faucets used for the sinks, bathtub, and shower head.

  Decorative mirrors add a hint of glamour to the vanity, while sconces from Visual Comfort are hung at face height for optimal lighting when beautifying in front of the mirror.

Layer your lighting. "You can’t rely on a single light source in a room," says Oliver. "Sometimes you need ambient light, and other times you need task lighting to see your face. Dimmers are good for achieving all-around light, too."

Choose large-format wall tiles. "These allow for fewer grout lines and give the shower a cleaner, more updated look," says Oliver. "And they’re much easier to clean."

Paint old oak trim. "This can really elevate and freshen up a space," says Oliver. "White is a go-to choice for people, but if you’re a bit daring, consider painting trim a much darker color than the wall color."

Balance hard and soft materials. "Anytime you can contrast hard elements - like stone, tile, countertops, and ceramic - with some wood elements, you provide a beautiful counterpoint to something that’s crisp and cool," says Oliver. "The wood really warms up the space and makes it feel more inviting.
