I love the simple drama of this space.  The blank chalk board makes such a contrast from what we might normally see when they are used in decor.  The chairs and the chandelier are by far my favorite part of the otherwise simple space.

We all know I love a good bedroom design... but this is a favorite.  The ceiling detail, the light, the view... need I continue.    I also just love the way the linen bedding is a soft accent to the concrete and the rougher feeling in the space.

I am totally obsessed with the Klismos chairs, it seems I am not alone.  The chairs design dates back to the ancient Greeks so I see some staying power.  There are so many styles and types currently available it can be hard to find just the right piece.

These are beautiful and the legs are so elegant.

Clean and contemporary and I love the boxy feel of the back.

Simple and modern with upholstered seats and nail head detailing

.

Contemporary legs and an open back.

I think it is about time we opened up the doors and windows to let the fresh air in.  I am so in need of warmer days, we have had some beautiful teases here in California but I need a little more!  

Things here have been so busy and so amazing I cannot wait to share all of the new pieces we have online and some great upcoming giveaways here on the blog!  It is going to be a great couple of weeks as we ease into Spring, I do hope you will join us for everything!

I spent the better part of the day on Tuesday looking for inspiration to get my point across.   Often times it is the picture that inspires me when I design but sometimes I search for the perfect photo to convey what I am trying to do.  This week it was difficult!!  I did however find A LOT of inspiration in an archived issue of Lonny Magazine from a while back.. These are just a few of my favorites- there  are definitely more in this issue.  I wish each and every magazine came with so much wonderful inspiration to it!

I have fallen for this little chair!

  oh my goodness, can you imagine how cute it is in person?

I think I need to find something this cute and then find a place for it!

I have been studying up on grey storage pieces lately for the kitchen and family room.  I came across this piece which I don't think I have shared.  Love this.  I am not sure what it is that makes it seem so right, the monochromatic feel of the books that are slightly askew?

Last weekend's dinner got me thinking... there are a lot of great entertaining ideas out there that I think we should be sharing.  What do you think?  Do you have some tips that make your dinners and brunches with family and friends just that little bit more special or just down right perfect?  

Do you want to share them with us?

 

I have completely fallen for Lucite.  I love the odd piece or two mixed in with traditional or transitional spaces.  It is just that little bit of fun that some spaces need.  I recently bought myself the lucite cube that we started selling and I love it, even if it is a bit different than my norm.  Do you have the lucite bug? 

The natural light in this space is pretty amazing.  Those are the chairs that I keep seeing around too just in a lighter finish... might have to find me a few of those!

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday!

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!  

I am loving the bases on those chairs!!

 

We can all use a little modern once in a while and in my opinion this one is very fine!  I love the clean lines and the cocktail table is fantastic!

Wishing you a wonderful holiday weekend!!!  

I love this image... it is full of a few of my favorite things.. vintage chair (check), super cool woven bag (check), huge pot with olive branches (check).  See...

What are you up to this weekend?

I have totally become obsessed with the open back wing chair.  I have seen them around and have been using them very often in my work.  Some of my favorites are the grey leather from Crate and Barrel, our  Holt in linen, Lauren Liess's Mad Hatter wing chair and a pair of wing chairs from Suzanne Rheinstein in her New York apartment.  

I love this look and I have been searching and searching for something to add to my living area that would give me this look without the big price tag.  I found a pair of these beauties at the flea market on Sunday and they have sparked a design revolution in my family room...  They are a great smaller scale and beg to be slip covered right now, the pink is not for me and someday I will upholster them in a beautiful grey linen.   For now I am thinking a crisp tight fitting white slipcover.  

What do you think?  Do you like??
