Currently: Outdoor lounging

Spring is upon us, even if it does not seem like it quite yet, and everyone has come out with their latest outdoor furniture designs.  I love this time of year when it is still a little to early to spend all of your time outside but you can steal moments in the sunshine...

These are just  few of my favorites for a little pick me up outside..

1. Love this modern take out outdoors from West Elm with teak wood.

2.  When we were in Puerto Rico a while back I fell in love with the furnishings at the resort.  They had a bunch of pieces that were made of different cording materials and aluminum.  This little Huron sofa reminds me of that.  Adore it.

3. Palecek makes a great group of all weather wicker pieces.  These make me think of the great combinations we see in European gardens of sturdy wood tables and modern dining chairs.. 

4.  Need an extra seat?  This wicker stool has a swivel to it.

5.  Great little sofa from World Market.  Great price, perfect color and simple clean lines. Love.

6. Peacock chairs are so so fun.  They remind me of being a kid (we had one in our bedroom).  This piece from Anthropologie is perfection- check out the blue colorway!

Long Beach Flea Market...

 

Yesterday we took a last minute trip to the Long Beach Flea market..  We were searching for a rug and a few other things for my sister, which left me free to shop for things I did not need.  I always love to go and ALWAYS manage to walk away with more than I intend to!  It was hot hot hot though so we were out by noon.  Here is a little peek at what we saw//

 

Unfortunately I did not buy these chairs... I loved them and they would have been so cool by the fire pit at home but I had to show restraint...

 

Some of the best letters I have seen.

 

The textiles today were amazing!  I found a few things to make pillows out of for myself.. 

 

This is the detail on a Lucite hanging lamp that was one of the coolest pieces I have ever seen, I wish I had a spot for it!

 

Euro Linens space - always a pleasure..

 There were so many amazing patio pieces.

 

This piece was beautiful from funky town//

Reupholstering the vintage French chair..

 

When we were in Paris in the Spring last year I was lucky enough to come across these two beauties.  I was instantly in love and on a mission to figure out how exactly to get these home for myself.  I was pleasantly surprised by a seller who was willing to translate my need to get these chairs to our rented apartment to a wonderful delivery man, and my heart was content.  The poor guy had to carry them up 3 flights of shallow steps and then another guy carried them down a week later and loaded them into our taxi van in route to Normandie.  It was worth every minute (note that I was not actually carrying them)!

Once they arrived here in California I had no clue what I wanted to do with them, so they stayed at home with me for a bit before I finally took the plunge.  I had them upholstered in vintage linen that we had purchased while we were in France along with some of my standard linen on the back and sides.  I added tufting to the seat back to create a little more interest for me as well as exposed flat rustic nail head details at the legs.. and I love love them!

Adding a little color...

 

There is just something about textiles that I love..  vintage, new, colorful, textured you name it.  I pretty much love them all.  I am starting up a few new projects this week and I have been playing with fabric for the past few days.  I could not be happier!  I love how this simple space is transformed with the splashes of color each fabric adds in.  Perfection.
