If space & money weren’t an object, I would have these fab pieces of furniture

image

A leopard upholstered chair…

image

This gold legged table to spread out fabric samples and drawings for clients…

image

Something acrylic & gold. That sawhorse desk is calling me….

image

Something with an art-deco border and lion pulls….

image

Jewel toned tables for my bedroom & a piece done in malachite

image

A curved chair to relax with a book…

image

Something black and gold with faux fur fabric…

image

Definitely need a studded piece…

image

A tufted bench with velvet…

image

Seating or an ottoman in a regal shade purple

And a bright painted credenza. What are some of the things you’d buy?

Cutesy his & hers decor items that’ll make great wedding gifts…

image

I love coming across fun sayings on decor items and since it’s wedding season…I think a cool gift is something his & hers. How adorable are the above pillows?
image

Something like this would make for great wedding gifts. If you can find words to iron on a pillow or decals for glassware. The bottom pic is from @superficialgirls instagram. The glasses are from Furbish.

How cute are these?

And even if you don’t have a special someone in your life….who says you can’t have a positive reinforcement for yourself?

Thanks for reading, subscribing and commenting. Happy weekend!

A little bit of casual glamour…

image

I came across this right after I published my color schemes:coral peach black & gray post. Don’t you hate that? Well I like this space because it’s lived in. As much as I love staging, I hate to see home tours so perfect with all elements of the homeowner’s interest removed, that it feels like a front. You can have a lived in look and still manage to be chic, classic, & fabulous. This area has a casual glam feel. Comfortable looking but luxurious qualities in the color palette, materials and textiles. Speaking of, I always love how black and gray brings the girly hues down a notch. Nothing about this space feels kiddish or tween. Love it.

Tuesday’s Tips: paint these unexpected household items to liven the space

image

While going through Pinterest I noticed trend on my DIY board. There are so many things you can paint around the home…some unexpected to spruce up things up and add color. I especially dig Ikea’s gold leaf transformation of a basic chair. Check out my Pinterest to go to the sites of the projects.

Restoration Hardware has some of the most industrial inspiring spaces…

image

How frigging gorgeous is this. I mean…what! I have always been fond of the symmetrical showrooms and catalogue spaces. This is by far the best. So dramatic and dreamy.

image

I was first drawn to the architectural details of the Boston Flagship store. The windows and molding is breathtaking. I have blogged many times on arched windoes including this post on ways to dress them with curtains. The arches in this Moroccan post were everything but if I could have the ones from here in my living room, I’d be a happy camper.

image

This man cave is everything. The lighting is the focal point. See more awesome images from the store on my girl Beth’s blog over on My Chic My Way.

Kelly Wearstler in the new Lonny Mag…

image

Love the way the photographer captured this. I also like the way Kelly filled each area of wall space with art. Sometimes we feel like we’re unable to hang art if it’s a weird wall space. This proves you can.

image

Dark and dramatic but seemingly comfortable….

image

The lighting is pretty funky…

image

Pretty outdoor setting…

This decorative gold mirror trumps a medicine cabinet any day.

image

I am just in awe of the materials she uses for surfaces and walls. Everything ia bold and in your face.

image

I like how the geometric arch is echoed in the sofa below…

Instakrush: The Home Depot

image

Home Depot’s instagram page is on point. They have such a nice patio and outdoor living set ups for the perfect inspiration.

image

I love those planters at the bottom done with bricks I believe. And who doesn’t love vintage marquee lighting signage.

Here’s why I really dig masculine interiors….

image

I am debating on how I want to design my bedroom. It has the Moroccan feel which I intend to keep. But if I paint a wall a charcoal gray, the last thing I want to do is have all dark bedding. So I’d need to step my white sheet game up. I still want some soft and feminine elements but I can’t get enough of the streamlined, contemporary and minimalistic look of many masculine interiors.

image

There is something incredibly sexy about a dark room with bedding that looks comfortable but calming…

Peanut butter tufted seating…

Carefully edited decor…
