Neutrals with One Kings Lane

 

 

One Kings Lane is currently running a color event.  Of course my favorites are the neutrals..  There are some great pieces here to get you going on a space with grey accents.  I am loving the sofa and the rug a little too much I think!  If you just want to add a touch of my favorite neutral I am thinking you need these patent leather bound books..

 Framing some amazing vintage finds for our next One Kings Lane Sale

I was the winner of this sweet signed copy of Finding Home from the Finding Home blog of Greg Tankersley and Bobby McAlpine.  Thank you very much!

 

 Finally.. I sent off some pictures of my very messy home for consideration in publishing... a girl can dream right??

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.

Graham and Green

 

I have recently discovered Graham and Green, a British company with some really great designs.  This is what browsing around the internet can get me in an evening.  Don't you just adore the first sofa piece?  Note the contrasting buttons- why didn't I think of that?   It reminds me of the vintage piece that I am hoping to pick up next week from the upholsterer.  I suggest you take at least a moment to be inspired by their collections, I love them!

grey chesterfield..

 

The grey chesterfield covers so many many things and this one is amazing in its funky modern way.  So perfect in this space.  Wishing you a wonderful week filled with gorgeous sofas... I am dreaming of the time when mine will come home!

for the boys...

This issue of Elle decor was super fantastic in my opinion!  The sofas in the first image make my head spin- they are so beautiful.  I love the non traditional furniture placement and sizing, it shows a very creative mind to think outside the normal relationships of pieces.  Altogether a beautiful space.

upholstery...

 

I am so excited today is the big day that I take my sweet new sofa to the upholsterer!  I know that sounds crazy but it took me a while to decide on the fabric and then the pillows and so now that the fabric has arrived I am so excited to get this project underway.  I chose a dark charcoal linen for the sofa and one of Windsor Smith's new fabrics from Kravet for pillows, Kaveka in Java.  I am going to mix in some vintage fabrics with them. 

It is going to be a completely different look for my space as my sofa now is slipcovered in natural linen.  Very exciting around here!  I will also be picking up some other pieces that I have been waiting for so I can finally take some photos of the new and improved dining room too.

What do you think?  Very dramatic right?

Tufted sofa love...

So I am completely smitten with the tufted vintage style sofa, chesterfield or not I am loving the fun styles out there.  I have a simple high back sofa in my living room from Cisco brothers that has served me well for years- I think 7 or 8 years to be exact and it is still in great shape.  However, you know as well as anybody that girls like me like to day dream.  When I day dream it is about furniture and travel typically.  (the photo below makes me weak!)  So anyway long story short, or vice versa now, I was not shopping for a sofa but you know how things happen when you least expect it, I found a beauty that I could not resist!

 

This one is so cute with the contrast of the nail heads...

 

This little beauty looks vintage but it is not..

Love the yellow but I know it is not for me...

 

So here she is my new to me vintage sofa... LOVE LOVE LOVE   the only question now is which fabric and which color??

Do I go with linen in a natural tone, linen in a charcoal grey, velvet in a light grey??  Oh the delimas I get myself into! 

What do you think?  I am over the moon- it was the perfect find for a ridiculously low  price (I am not sure I should say).  I will say that flea market shopping is some of the best shopping EVER!
