Bold entryway

 

I love bold pieces that are simple at the same time.  This cabinet piece has clean lines but makes a serious statement with the texture and the finish.  Paired with the simple chairs and accessories, along with the amazing flowers and pop of color it is simply perfect!

Beyond Chic {design library}

 

I love a good design book as we all know, but this one is so unique.  Beyond Chic is full of the amazing homes of Fashion's most creative minds!  I love the layering and collected feeling of the spaces.  It is always so interesting to see what inspires people so much that they fill their private spaces with it, don't you think? 

"Some of the most important people in fashion—Chanel, Alaïa, Yves Saint Laurent, Pucci, Kenzo, and Missoni—are known for their public image and their iconic designs. But what kind of world have they cultivated behind closed doors? From France to Italy, from England to Morocco, come along on a private visit to the remarkable homes of couturiers, stylists, muses, and fashion personalities. Photographer Ivan Terestchenko shows the décor, works of art, and the personal collections of these legendary designers. Some interiors, such as Chanel’s apartment at 31 rue Cambon, are mythic, while others like those of Giorgio Armani’s châlet or Vanessa Seward, Azzaro’s head designer, are completely unconventional. From minimal (Nicole Farhi) to exotic (Franca Sozanni), to a deceptively simple French apartment (Loulou de La Falaise), this book explores the spaces and places created by some of fashion’s biggest names."

dark beauty..

 

Feeling so inspired by the contrast in black details right now.  I think almost every space needs a contrast and why not use black to make it happen?  I find that I do the same with fashion.. a little black goes a long way!

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!

Grey and red...

First of all - dying over this wall of beautiful grey weathered wood.  Second - love the contrast of the little weeds below and her touch of red and white... just about perfect.

Wishing you a wonderful Friday my friends..

I would love to know if you are going to see Gatsby today or if you went last night??  I am so sad I won't be able to see it until I return!!!

Obsessed: The perfect clutch

 

So I know I am not typically talking fashion here but it goes hand in hand with design on so many levels.  Personal style often seems to flow over onto both sides of design, so I hope you don't mind if I share once in a while my little obsessions with you.  Currently I am loving clutches.  I have picked up some vintage pieces here and there but recently I have become totally obsessed with Claire Vivier clutches.  I snatched up the Wallet Clutch in Leopard cause I love it!  Now though I have a little list going of what I want... so bad I know.  I decided though that they are great little accents and perfect for when I don't want to carry my large bag, you know to dinner or out with girlfriends, and I can toss it in my bigger purse in the AM when I have forgotten to empty it out.  LOVE LoVe all the way around!  I want all of these please!!

Baubles...

 

Happy Saturday.... We are off to the Mart today in search of new pieces for the shop and projects that are coming this year, I will be sure to share my finds with you next week.  

I feel for both of these photos when I saw them on pinterest next to one another, rustic with a bit of luxury.  The light fixture is my all time favorite, which is why I put this one in our dining room!

Enjoy!

Shop design {industrial mix}

 

I am completely in love with this shop!  I have a thing for a mix of home goods and fashion though.  I think that they go hand in hand and that typically those who love to decorate love to dress in a similar fashion.  Don't you think?  

This space is fantastic, one of those shops I could spend too much money in and come home feeling very inspired!  I love the way the bright colors of the clothing play off of the relaxed darker furnishings.

Kate Spade at home

 

It is so fun to see creative people in their homes.  Kate Spade's home is really fun and whimsical.  I love the use of artwork which seems to make a statement in every space.  The colors are bold and inspiring.

What do you think?

Top Row...

 

I am sure that you know by now how much I love Pinterest.  When I went on there last night these 3 pictures were in the top row... I just love the way they all worked together.  

Sometimes we find relationships in design in some very odd spaces. Texture and color love!

Hope you are having a great day!
