Dark and Moody

 

Sometimes you just have to be dark and moody!  I think this is an amazing space and the design is fantastic...love the dark tone and tone.

What do you think?  Do you like it?

Texture in the dining room..

 

I am all about adding texture in a space and I totally love this!  Those are some of my favorite chairs and all of that natural light is amazing!  

Also, don't forget to check out our sale starting this morning on One Kings Lane!

greige on the lake

A perfectly relaxing space inside and out.  I love the soft subtle colors mixed in with the glass beads and the the vintage bottles and accessories.  It just shows how much you can do with texture and beautiful light in a space. 

Note how each space has a beautiful light fixture.  I love this custom piece above the tub.

Faded and beautiful

 

I must be needing soft lighting and relaxed spaces right now as that seems to be what I am most drawn to.  

We have another busy weekend planned - how about you?  Any time to relax and take in the beautiful weather?

I am wishing!  I have just recieved my copy of Steven Gambrel's new book which I cannot wait to dig into!

Art is up

 

Over the weekend I installed the new art pieces in my dining room and I adore them!  Sometimes I wonder why I wait so long to make a decision, it only took me 6 months to decided that these were what I wanted.  I should have purchased them the first time I saw them.  

Are you an impulse buyer?  or do you take a long time to make decisions?

For me it depends on the piece...  but usually when I see something I want I know if it is going to work...

(I just got an iphone which I absolutely love..this is an Instagram pic)

Mirror collages...

 

So I have been struggling with an idea for my dining room for over a year now I think... I just could not decide what it was that I wanted to do.  I have this weird window that makes the wall kind of hard to decorate.  I have debated over vintage doors, vintage mirrors, starburst mirrors all kinds of art and I just could not commit to any one thing.  So it finally has come to an end- I needed to fix it and then things just seem to fall into line.  It's always so nice when that happens.  I found this picture on Pinterest the other day and fell deeply in love!

I painted the walls in there Restoration Hardware Slate which I LOVE but the mirror I picked was just not doing it for me.  So I think I am going to give the vintage mirror/frame collage idea a go.  I originally had a reclaimed wood mirror collage.   So the clincher was when I received an email from a reader who owns a company that makes beautiful antiqued mirrors (which I have been searching for someone for a long time).  Leftbank Collection makes all types of antiqued mirrors which is perfection for this little project of mine as I can vary the style of the mirrors so they look collected over time and I can fit them to some vintage frames too.

I have always wanted to do this somewhere.. now I just have to find the right spot!

I love love the plain jane mirror here... so me!  I will definitely need to use one of these.

I am so excited!!!  I am going to see what I can find at the flea market over the next few months and fill in from there.

My Winter Table

This year we have had the chance to have a few gatherings around our table and I cannot wait to have more in the coming years.  I fell for a picture that I found of a table done in white and linen.  This is my loose imitation with my favorite thick linen napkins and some vintage pieces that we picked up this year.  I hope you are looking forward to the new year as much as I am!

workspace

This space seems so easy on the eyes simple and clean where you could just open up the laptop and get some things done.  It is nothing like my desk that is covered in papers and misc little things that my kids have made and given to me. 

I love the finish on the table and the key is the fresh flowers I think!

Unique dining chairs

How completely wonderful are these dining chairs??  I just love everything about them!  Tomorrow we will be going to Rose Bowl to search out some new dining chairs for my sister.  Our hopes are high that we could find something this amazing. 

I am also excited to pick up the custom lights that I had made from Cleveland Art while I am there!  I cannot wait to put them in the bathroom, they will be like the finishing touch hopefully late next week!

Refined dining...

 

What a perfect place for a meal... any meal!

I love the table cloth and the soft greige color in the room - so glam.

I hope you are having a wonderful start to the week..

Eating outside...

 

We have been spending our evenings eating outside here.  I think it is one of the best parts of summertime.  The warm breeze and candle light make it just about perfect with the family.

Of course it does not look quite like this but one can dream about that sort of thing!

White and Hydrangea

 

Good Monday Morning!

I trust you had a good weekend and a well celebrated Father's day.

We had a simi impromptu dinner here last night and I would say that it went fairly smoothly.  I think that we should entertain more often.  I am not sure that this space would put me at ease though!

It is very beautiful but the thought of all of that white scares me a little!

What about you do you entertain?  Do you enjoy it?
