New Bohemian..

 

Always loving the over stated style of Ralph Lauren.  This is always great to look at, I am just not sure I would be able to leave this chair as is- but is has great bones.

Look for our winners of the Vintage by Nina book tomorrow as well as a few other things.

Vintage by Nina Book {giveaway}

 

I am very excited to offer this beautiful book to TWO of my lovely readers!  

I am sure that you have visited her blog and have seen the images floating around the internet, how amazing would it be to own a copy of Vintage by Nina.  This book is printed currently in Norwegian and this fall we are expecting it in English, so you can read all about the lovely vintage treasures.

Each image captures her beautiful mix of texture and patina beautifully.

 

" This book is one that we are sure will transcend time and design styles, and in our opinion its sui generi; unique, fresh, bold at times and yet feminine, clean. The book contains 160 beautiful and provocative pages which inspire dreams in its readers and invokes the interior design muse of those who leaf through its pages."

Santa Monica flea market

We spent the better part of the morning at the flea market on Sunday.  This was my first time to Santa Monica flea market and it was pretty successful as far as shopping.  It was a small group of vendors but there was a pretty good selection.  I found a lot of textiles and pillows which is always fine by me as those are a few of my favorite things!  We even had a few celebrity sitings which made for a fun morning.

This booth was from elements- he had some really great pieces and I had a chance to talk with him which was nice once we had circled the market twice.  I am looking forward to seeing him at Long Beach as he is expecting some pieces to come in from France in a week or so!

I was so close to buying this set of Lucite tables..  so fun!

I picked up a pillow with the embroidered dragons on it- love it!

 (please excuse the dumpsters)

I totally love this mix.  So fun for a girls room or beach house!

the pillows are from Indian Pink

We also discovered another small but really great flea market in Anaheim off of Lincoln and Lemon.  Some of the best finds of the day are from there!  Once I get a chance to go through all of my stuff I will have to share some things with you.

John Derian in Cape Cod

What a wonderful holiday retreat!  Simple and clean with a great mix of vintage in each space.  I love the natural state of the walls and the vintage textiles.  I hope you are getting ready to enjoy the long weekend with some fun activities!  We have a few parties to attend so it should be a great mix of just hanging out and visiting with friends and family.

Collected office...

 

As the holiday weekend approaches it is all I can do to keep myself thinking about work..  This little office would be filled with too many distractions but it is pretty amazing!  I love the mix and match and all of the great vintage pieces.

What are your plans for the long weekend?

Master bedroom design

I had the recent pleasure of designing a wonderfully large master suite for one of my clients.  This is a fantastic space and her taste is really great with a mix of transitional pieces and modern accents.   I love spaces like this that allow for a great collected look even when the pieces are brought together at the same time.  It allows you to add in details and mix it up with vintage and new accessories.

Our inspiration came from some of Darryl Carters work which I love.

Vintage additions

 

I am starting to plan out my new kitchen and we have a huge built in pantry right now that I want to place with a beautiful cupboard to store all of my dishes and glassware.  I have been searching for the perfect piece to add that little something different to the space.  How amazing is this cabinet?  I love love this even though it would cut out a lot of storage space to have that beautiful curve it sure would be amazing!  

What do you think?

greige and gold.. again

 

These two images are completely what I am loving right now.  That mirror in the top image needs to be mine along with the little gold table from Aidan Grey.  They represent that vintage mix that seems so perfect!

Love them!

Vintage Flags

 

I have to admit that I have a weakness for vintage flags, a big weakness.  I love them and seem to be picking them up often at the flea market each month.  We framed a large union jack for my son's bedroom which looks pretty amazing but I have a bunch of other pieces that I need to do something with.  I see them often now and think that they make great showpieces.

What about you do you love this latest trend in framed and hanging vintage flags in design?  Do you have any?

Bits of Blue..

It can be a really good feeling to get a project on the side of the bar that is completed.  Last week I spent most of my time running around finishing this and 4 other projects up.  These are a few of my favorite views from this one.  I love the splashes of blue even if I cannot commit to a color myself, I truly deeply love this blue.  This project was really fun to mix in the vintage details here and there giving it a little bit more of an eclectic feeling.

I hope you are looking forward to a wonderful new week - I know I am.  There are a lot of finishing details for behind the scenes and new projects to begin!
