    Home Design – Accessories

    August 16th, 2011

    I’m finding some great accent pieces from Ebay and beyond to really play up my new wall color and fabric choices.

    One of these atop of my pair of bookshelves? Yes please!

    I’ve been searching for the perfect floor lamps and FINALLY found them!

    Thank you Barbara Cosgrove. You must check out this lady’s lovely lamps.

    Society Social

    August 14th, 2011

    I am so thrilled to announce that my Entrepreneuress soulmate, Roxy Te, debuted her collection of all things fabulous with her magazine Society Social.

    I am planning on showcasing her gorgeous pthyon number in my grey and gold living room.

    How great is her use of one of our Luxury Monogram pillows in this shot?

    So beyond honored to have been featured (pg.37).

    I’m so proud of this darling girl for not only being so outragesouly fabulous (:sigh: a girl after my own heart), but also for enduring everything that goes into launching a business.

    So cheers to Roxy! Here is to one of the first of many accomplishments!xx

    Bookcase Before and After

    August 2nd, 2011

    My design guru, The Decorista, recently instructed me to take all of the jackets off of my books and group them by color. I wasn’t convinced that it would make too much of a difference but when the The Decorista tells you to do something you do it!

    Now I see why she makes the big bucks. It looks SO much better!!!

    Can you stand this nautical delciousness!?

    Or this fab stack of posh pink?

    She is brilliant, I tell you.

    I recently inherited an Eames chair and I couldn’t be more excited!

    My mind is spinning thinking of all the different ways I want to style it.

    There are very few iconic pieces of furniture and I couldn’t think of a better piece to add to my collection.

    Mine is a luxurious tan color and it is going to be gorgeous against my new teal walls.

    I love how seamlessly it blends with any design.

    Perfection, no?

    Bedroom Design Redefined

    July 26th, 2011

    Via La Dolce Vita

    For months I have been trying to figure out what to do with my bedroom. First I was in love with wallpapering it, but then the logistics of doing that in a rental put that to rest. Then I was going to leave it all white (but I mean really, can you get much more boring?) So then yesterday I stumbled across this image and it hit me. TEAL WALLS. They are vibrantly luxe can mix with so many hues (not to mention all of the current furniture in that room) AND they make the most insane background for amethyst and citrine.

    I’ll be going for an effect such as this but with more of a teal hued wall and a deeper amethyst shade for the drapes.

    And upon those amethyst drapes I will most certainly be adding a custom citrine Greek key trim.

    For the finishing touch I am intent on finding the most utterly fabulous chartreuse chair to complete my jewel box of a bedroom.

    What do you think?

    While strolling through the village today I decided to stop into Restoration Hardware.

    In the past, the Restoration Hardwares I have seen in malls have been a bit stale, but this one was absolutely spectacular!

    Everything was so stunning and exquisitely merchandised.

    It was the perfect afternoon pick me up. I left invigorated and inspired!

    It felt exactly like being inside one of their catalogs. Simply marvelous!

    Bravo RH. Bravo.

    Sumptuous navy curtains with gold hardware.

    And I’ll finish off the whole look with some navy and gold pillows on our bed.
