The Pasadena Showcase is one of my favorite events of the Spring! It's a tradition to go with my close friend Ashley each year. I have only been 3yrs (since the first time Linda took me, with Ash-my first year in CA), but I wont ever miss it now!In a nutshell: people submit their homes for this showcase, usually large old homes with character, IF they win & their home gets selected designers come & re-do the entire thing! Each room/space is a different designer, so each room is full of the 'wow-factor' because its a walking advertisement for that specific designer. I love all things like this (as if it wasn't obvious). Every room was so inspiring, and there were so many creative & unique designs that I would never ever come up with! Ash & I love to "Oooo" & "Ahhh" over everything! We walk out with an entire list of "must-do's" to our homes. Especially since Ash is pregnant and is in "nesting" mode. The house was gorgeous & full of so many amazing details I cannot even begin to list them! We were going to take a pic but there are NO cameras at all on the property, so I just had to do a little post. Any of you CA residents who haven't gone, I highly recommend it! [just click link above] They have great food & shopping at the end of the tour.
(I recommend the balsamic vinegar booth-probably the best balsamics I have ever tasted)

My mom went today too. How funny if you guys crossed paths. She has a friend that she traditionally goes with too! I want details of the cool stuff you saw. I can always use some new fun ideas! Glad you had a fun day.
I wish I was there to go to it! I love stuff like that! Did you take any pictures? I'm interested to know some of the ideas you got.
I am so excited! We go Wed! Can't wait to be inspired. remember last year???? had to re-do the entire patio! What will this years project be?
Oh that is so fun! Interior design is something Ryan and I can't get enough of! They have something like that up here to, the parade of homes thing that we're going to in May/June. I wish I could go down there to that one, I bet it would be awesome! But have a great time getting inspired!
oh wow, that souns amazing. how did i grow up there and never hear about this? I love things like that! although sometimes it makes me jealous to see these amazing homes!
I wish I would have known about this when I lived there! Sounds like so much fun!
I can't believe that they won't let you take pictures! I guess they want you to hire the designer, not copy them yourself! I grew up in Pasadena and have never been. Sad.
I love our tradition! I had so much fun! Love you!
Oh my gosh that sounds amazing! I love stuff like that! I make sure I go to the parade of homes every year but that sound like it would be better!
