Little Details

I'm addicted to little bowls and vessels. They certainly aren't necessities, but they make a space feel cozy and loved. Where could these bits live? Let me tell you my favorite places. Next to the sink, on a night stand, on your desk, in a drawer to organize your bathroom items {hair bands, lip gloss, etc} or in your desk drawer to organize supplies {paper clips, rubber bands, push pins, keys etc.} or in a bathroom to hold matches....I could go on and on. Point is, I don't think I'll ever stop loving these things - they really make me happy. Every now and then you just can't pass one up and something new is added to your collection.

 

Here are a few new favorites...

A new client sent me this picture as their inspiration/style....yum! Can't wait to get things cooking!

LC's Home

LC as in Lauren Conrad if you weren't a huge fan of Laguna Beach and The Hills.  She just bought a gorgeous gem of a home in Brentwood, CA and it is such a beautiful space to work with. I am assuming these pictures are from the previous owners decor and can't wait to see what she does with it.

Around the House

There are finally a few finished areas in my house - it seems that decorating and furnishing is never ending, always a work in progress. As I was loading pictures from my camera of these spaces to blog about, I noticed the pictures I took from the first day we signed our contract for the house and I love to see the before and after.

 

Here is the eating area off the kitchen before we moved in:

 

**BEFORE**

{notice the wall to the left of the table - we took it out to open up the space}

 

**AFTER**

 

I love the chair seat fabric and how the head chairs are different then the side chairs.

 

Here is the before entryway:

Monday Inspiration

Loving the shape of this new mirror at West Elm. Not your typical full length mirror.

A Sunny Spot

I'm not usually one for pink, but this is such a great space with pretty touches of pattern and texture. I especially love the light fixture, so unique.
