I sometimes feel like we leave out the boys here!  I love masculine spaces and I often and drawn to them.  You?   

I absolutely love love this banquette (secretly dreaming of designing a restaurant one day) !

I find that contrast is so necessary in a space, it doesn't have to be as obvious as this, which I love, but it can be simple and textural as well.  This combination is beautiful and interesting, the antlers make it for me.

I hope your weekend is full of beautiful days- we are expecting another 80 degree day here in California before it cools again.  If you are visiting us from One Kings Lane- Welcome - we are happy you are here!

The mirrors and the trim in this space makes my heart skip a beat..  oh the things we could do together!  

wishing you a wonderful Sunday..  hope you are enjoying your weekend!

I truly enjoy going to market, no matter where you go it is very inspirational.  There are so many talented creative minds that work on the showrooms it is really a treat to see most of the time.  This past weekend we visited the LA Mart for the show and found some great new pieces and some really great displays.  

The Walls in this room were painted gold and were super cool.

Love the paper runner- great idea!

I think I need this even if I have no place for it, so sculptural and cool!

Our best seller the star pendant with mirror.. love!

This is my favorite chandelier and I have been desperately trying to find a special place for something like this.. I know that one day it will happen.

I am off to Las Vegas for the furniture show there today, wish me luck!

It is funny how everyday is so different even when it seems the same.  One little meeting can change your outlook for the next year in a good or bad way, or maybe just in a different way.  It seems that no matter what comes my way, there is always something there to follow it up.  Yesterday was one of those days were you look at what is coming up and decide- oh this is going to call for some changes some improvements, some improvising and a little bit of making your own destiny.  I am looking forward to it!  

I hope you had a wonderful week!  What did you get accomplished this week?  This is different from what are you doing this weekend- which is my normal question.  I feel like I had a very productive week and I am ready for a real break from work, time in the sun and with the family is on the agenda.

This tucked in look gets me every time.  I am not sure if it is because it seems like such an organized idea or what.  I love the waist stools too, along with the pair of lamps.  My entry is a little smaller than this but it could be done.  What about you, do you have a large entry?  Do you use it or is it just a welcoming stage?

 Our Holiday Giving Series continues with Approximate Notions.  Their site is filled with wonderful equine inspired pillows and accessories.  I love the detail and the artistic lines to the pieces.

 

Is this not the most charming room ever?  I love the layers and the split in the paint with the faded details.  So simple and amazing!

Wishing you a wonderful Tuesday.  It feels like the holiday season is really starting to kick in around here.  How about where you are?  Are you feeling it?  Does it feel like a pinch or are you easing into the whole thing?

Last week I had a chance to stop by my friend Molly's shop for a little table-scaping class she was having.  She has the best selection of goodies and plants!  It is always an inspiration to walk through the garden and the shop.  

This is just a peek at the goodness that she has going on there.
