Gift idea # 1 Simple Silhouettes

I'd be happy to receive pretty much anything made by Le Papier Studio. 

This is a classic and cool gift that will never go out of style. 

Great for a newlywed couple or a young family. 

I'd really love one of these for my little family. 

Yummy

This bed is as yummy as Thanksgiving dinner! 

I want to climb right in. 

Happy Thanksgiving! 

I'll be back on Friday with holiday gift ideas for the next month straight.

close second

We all know and love the Jacqui collection from bungalow 5. It seems like these pieces have been popping up everywhere these days and in a rainbow of colors. I've been loving this piece for quite some time so I was really excited when I spotted this wave table at JC Penney a couple of weeks ago. It is a close second don't you think? 

These tables also give a similar look. 

And of course, just a little eye candy for y'all featuring Jacqui items. 

going modern

I met with a new client over the weekend in her beautiful modern home. 

When she showed me this image above as an inspiration for one of the spaces we're working on I knew we were a match made in heaven. 

This wall of shelving is from a room Samantha Pynn did for her HGTV show Pure design. One of my favorites! If you want more info, you'll find it here. 

a pretty patten can be anywhere

I saw this patterned tablecloth at world market the other week and made a mental note of how much I liked it, thinking maybe I could use it in a future project. Then the other day I spotted this tutorial on style at home and I recognized the tablecloth turned into an entry bench. I'm glad someone put this to lovely pattern to use! 

Also, if you're interested in taking on this project, just know it is amazingly easy. My pal Jenny over at Little Green Notebook has a great tutorial too. I just did one with a client and it turned out darling and so easy.

I can't believe

I can't believe I found a set of 10 vintage eames chairs on craigslist today.

I really can't believe that they were asking only $95 for all ten. 

And I still can't believe when I called them they said they'd been sold approximately one minute earlier. 

It just ruined my day. $95? I probably would have felt guilty because I was robbing them blind! 

I still can't believe it. 

little green chair

I went and visited a client this morning to check in on updates. I just died when I saw how everything was coming together. 

I literally oooooed and aaaaaahhhhd over this vintage green chair we got from the local classifieds. It is mid-century green velvet perfection and it fits perfectly in her modern house. 

I'm glad that gorgeous chair found a good home.

I realized the way some people are about stray pets, I am about stray furniture. My poor husband. 

CC Interiors on Design Sponge

The green trellis chair you all know and love is on Design Sponge today. 

Thanks to Grace for the mention! 

I have lots more before and after pieces coming up in

 the next few weeks, so get excited my friends.

One Kings Lane

Did you see the new images at One Kings Lane? I love the styling. 

If you want an invite leave a comment here. They have amazing stuff! 

One of my clients has 2 golden retrievers and we're using this exact color of blue in her master bedroom, so I had to post this picture for her. She also happens to be an extremely talented jewelry designer, whose products are carried by Sundance and Athleta.

swoon

This room makes my heart skip a beat. Leave it to Miles Redd to make all my design dreams come true. 

I'm doing a room with a red/grey/aqua combo right now and this image from the cover of December 2009 Elle Decor went straight in to my inspiration file. I'm not normally a red girl but this room had me singing a different tune. You will want to run to the sotre and buy this issue if you haven't already.

Aren't those pelmet frames around the windows just perfection? And don't even get me started on the sofa or chair.

Ahhhhhhhhhh.
