Let me know if you would like to place an order!

My little jewel box!

Finally, my powder bath is done...well almost (I still need a mirror!) So happy with the navy blue lacquered cabinet and wallpaper with all my favorite colors. I really wanted to rip out the cabinet, though I chose the less expensive alternative - paint - and could not be more satisfied.  If you are having a down day, this is the restroom to use! P.S. check out the fun tissue box cover :)

I'm back and not sure where to begin!

I'm back and armored with LOTS of pictures and not sure where to begin!!! First a shout out to two new sites I love - Christina Murphy, a new york designer whose portfolio is AMAZING and next to a great new blog: http://www.aestheticoiseau.com/. Below I will share some highlights from both sites, plus some other favorites that I just can't resist sharing! (Sorry for jumping all over the place, but it's been a long time :)

Have I told you yet that I am obsessed with wallpaper! My heart is literally palpitating right now because I WANT to wallpaper my WHOLE house and I just get so excited about dreaming of which paper to put where. So this is my latest obsession....Clarence House...The Vase!

 Love this kitchen: simple, refreshing, with a splash of sunshine!

(ABG - thoughts? Does this inspire you?)

On to my next OBSESSION...Headboards! 

Christina Murphy did some clean, but fun shapes in the below pictures.

Suzanne Kasler's designed this fun girl's bedroom. I love the headboard's wavy top in a contrasting color. (Red and pink are not may favorite colors, but think the headboard design is awesome and the room works great together.) Suzanne has a new book out that is worthy of adding to your collection.

COLOR, COLOR, COLOR

Love this side table...comes in fabulous colors. It's from Oomph.

Someone out there that I know, please paint a room this color and make it high gloss!!!! I think the room needs jewel tone accents, but the walls are GORGEOUS!

Walls and crown molding all painted the same color is one of my favorite looks! I also really love the mirrors...anyone know who makes those? 

Okay last but not least...i think i found my dining room chandelier, until a fancier one is in the budget...thank you Ballard!

HAPPY READING!

Kitchen Chair Help!

I am in the process of searching for the most fabulous kitchen chairs! Here are a few top picks. (more pics to come)

I always come back to these chairs...love the idea that you can paint them any color too!

 Pretty awesome too!

 Love these French Bistro Chairs! You can pick any color combination and great for wiping off.

The next two win on comfort and look - that is a good combination!

Love these Phillipe Stark Chairs. Can't go wrong.

Roundtop, Texas!

What an amazing experience it was to head to Roundtop, Texas for the opening of the Marburger Farm Antique Show. There were fabulous finds, great prices, and even better people watching! This show takes place each September and March and worth the fun trip.

Excited about my new blue and white charger! I bought a pair and planned to hang them on my green lacquered dining room walls until my husband VETOED any plates from hanging on walls in our home. So I was forced to go to Plan B...a picture dish on the cocktail table. I saw this idea on the Nate Berkus show and fell in love with the idea of putting out a random assortment of new and old pics. Every time I walk by I smile...it's also a great conversation starter for guests!

Yes, they are quirky! Look closer and you will see elephant heads on each corner. This was my first purchase at the show and I am so proud of myself for buying them so quickly (I'm not an impulse shopper). A few months back I saw an elephant head console in a House Beautiful article by Ruthie Sommers. I have been lusting for that console since, so when I saw this pair of elephant ottoman's I jumped on them. Sadly, I am gifting them to my sister, but I will visit them often. Add a ticking and possibly white paint, they will always tell a fun story!

Love...

Next show...I am bringing home a Starburst mirror!

This belongs in my bedroom...Why did I leave it there hanging?!

This chandelier was screaming my name...it was from a home in Palm Beach and I wanted it SO SO SO badly, but my mother insisted the scale was off. I am still mourning.

Super cool for a boys bedroom. A map from an old classroom. Add an acrylic frame and it would look awesome! I have this dealer's name if you are interested in this idea.

P.S. I love my mom's dining room and her collection of plates on display and on the walls! Maybe a little more arm twisting and I can get those charges up!

Lulu de Kwiatkowski!

In my previous post, I mentioned Lulu DK fabric on the bench and draperies. I find myself continually being drawn to her textiles (I just did an upholstered headboard in one of her fabrics) and NOW her artwork is being featured at an upcoming show at the Clic Gallery in NYC (click on the the Click Gallery to find out more info and see her work) Have fun perusing her fabric line in action.

Love the blown up photograph!

Her fabric is on the drapes, bed, and bench! See below...
