POSH PAREOS

"Sarong. Sundress. Scarf. Impromptu beach blanket. You’ll never run out of ways to wear our gorgeous pareos." 

-Serena and Lily

They pretty much said it all in one sentence! These posh pareos are certainly a summer staple and absolutely an all the time Hawaii staple. Unbelievably convenient and so easy to carry with you, these whisper-soft cotton babies come in the most gorgeous prints and colors. Summer never looked so bright. Cheers to the weekend!!

CONSOLE CRUSHES

Jacqui 

 Anton 

Marco 

I'm crushing hard on these sexy little consoles today. While perusing around vendors hunting the perfect console for a client I fell in love all over again with Bungalow 5. I hop around and give lots of companies my attention especially when I'm on the prowl for a specific piece but at the end of the day I have my favorite few. At the moment for case goods it's Arteriors, Worlds Away, Bernhardt, and Made Goods, but Bungalow is quickly climbing the list. Wanted to share my gorgeous finds, stick close because one of these will end up in a project. Of course I'll share photos when it comes time.  Happy Thursday.... almost there!

WELL LIT WEDNESDAY

Clayton Gold Leaf Lamp, Worlds Away

This little lamp deserved it's very own well lit Wednesday, purely for it's posh personality. There is no going wrong with greek key in my humble opinion. It's classic, fabulous, and timeless. World's Away got it right with this beautiful gold leaf baby. Being a huge sucker for lighting makes it difficult to make a commitment to any lighting, small or big. I'm bound to fall in love with something every few weeks or month. I've reached acceptance that my heart comes and goes with furniture, it's part of the job. I'm learning how to cope. It's difficult, but I'm learning (such a hard life isn't it??) :) Well, next Wednesday will be a new lighting love but until then, I'm loving on Clayton.

DYNAMITE BLACK AND WHITE

Some days I wake up and think to myself my whole home could be in black and white and I would be just fine. But then, just like this room I know at the end of the day some color would have to be incorporated for me not to lose my mind. The large artwork brings life and spirit [that color always offers] to this space. Main furniture that makes this room: Louis XV sofa, shop here. Acrylic coffee table, shop here. Meurice floor lamp, shop here. Here's to the combo that always rocks my socks off, here's to dynamite black and white.

happy Monday

ROOM OF THE DAY: OLD WITH NEW

This room of the day is filled with layers of white and I love it. How crisp and feminine is this space?! White floors, lots of white furniture, white trim, white on the walls & ceiling, and it totally works. The reason it does is because of the character of the space and the lofty height of the room. Those enormous windows allow the the colors and style from the outdoors into this room giving it so much interest other than just what you find inside the four walls. I love how simplistically chic this space is. Mixing old with new is something I believe strongly in, it gives a design so much more depth. Although, my favorite pieces in this room are new - I die for those Major chairs by MGBW. Happy Tuesday, hope you're inspired by this beautiful room of the day!

COZY COASTAL DINING

Heading into the dining room today to examine this pretty little space! The reclaimed wood table with simple low back wicker arm chairs gives off a wonderful & casual relaxed vibe. With a touch of formal from the chandelier, art, and welted fabric chair cushions the space gets a bit dressed up and has a solid style sense. By keeping the table, chairs, and chandelier all the same neutral and earthy color tone, this room is  soothing and effortlessly harmonized. Overall, this dining area is the perfect cozy coastal spot to enjoy a meal with loved ones. Cheers to pretty coastal style!
