I think my mind is ready for a vacation south of the border… or at least south of this rain. I’ve been obsessing over natural linens and layered textiles in soft palettes that recall warmer weather and seaside vacations. Still cozy enough for winter, but inviting the spring, the only colors here are shades of [...]
Months ago, while browsing through my favorite antique mall here in Seattle, I came across two unique mirrors that were definitely art deco in style, and had some blue glass incorporated into the design. I thought they were kinda unique and cool, so I snapped a few pics and moved on. Then, at the last [...]
Kelly Market Oooh….great trend! Obsessed with the greens : ) Definitely going to keep an eye out for more of these!
xx
p.s. So fun meeting you in Vegas! Hope to see you again soon : )
Elise love #3…. so unique – great post!
Katrina What a great selection! I think these Art Deco-inspired pieces would work really well in a clean, modern space.
Diana Loving these pieces, especially the green!
Franki YES! I’m hanging a “multi-colored” glass edged mirror in our outdoor shower…who doesn’t like to shower in a rainbow?!?! franki
Brighton Keller These mirrors are fabulous! SO unique!
XOXO

Tara So gorgeous! Great freshner for a mirror collection…
Dawn All beautiful but my favorite is the green mirror from Todd Alexander Romano’s dining room (in the Kips Bay Show House). Thanks for sharing the link on 1stdibs – not that I’ll be running off and buying it this instant but dare to dream!
Deana I love these pieces, especially #2. It is AMAZING!
Margaret I have #1. My mother bought it many years ago, used. She had it resilvered.
During a move, it had some damage. I would love to get it repaired. This was one of my mother’s favorite items, and it has a lot of sentimental value.
Also, would you have any idea of it’s value?
When I was last at market (in the winter!) I noticed a slight trend towards playing with scale in furnishings. We’ve seen this a bit in upholstered goods in the past, but this time it was all about lighting… This room created for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House by Brad Ford reminded me of [...]
henzy Oh my god.. that coffee table is to die for.
Maggie Rose
Interesting idea – I wonder how it feels in person? Brad Ford is one of my favorite interior designers though so I had to comment! Happy birthday to him 
Maryam Beautiful space!!
xoxo, Maryam
Rachel I’m going to be the oddball here and admit that I’m not a fan of this. I like a room to be well balanced. While I’ll sometimes choose a feature to highlight, or create a visual stopping point, my eyes can’t move beyond that fixture.
A featured piece should not be so dominating, in my opinion.
pushups with polish i love this! perfect for a beach house xxo
cassandra @ coco kelley rachel, i LOVE you for speaking up and i think you’re right, especially in this picture, the lighting is hard to get past! i have a feeling it’s partially the angle too, but i do think it’s a BIT dominant. perhaps if it was placed higher??
HUMANITYISBEAUTIFUL
very beautiful, but the table is what catches me first )
Eleni Playing with scale in a room can give a very interesting result. I love extra large pendants and I love the coffee table in this photo. I’d definitely go for it!
Andrea Reh Ooh this is gorgeous, kinda reminds me of those guesthouses in the Japanese countryside.

Jeannine 520 I think a fixture of that size hanging down into a normal sized room is obnoxious. If there ever were a case for that it would have to be an exceptional piece that was worth giving up all the airspace to accommodate. I try hard to maintain an openness in a room and that just instantly kills it. I don’t see this being a trend.
Noas' Libellule I am with humanityisbeautiful, I hardly saw the pendant, all I could see was the table. I do like the work on proportions or scale, I am not sure this is the right pendant for it…
Sarah Sherman Samuel omg LOVE this!!
I don’t think I’ve been getting the recommended daily dose of fruit lately… In my home or my wardrobe. Obviously it’s time to stock up on some oranges, grapefruits, lemons, kumquats, tangerines… *home images by laure joliet, orange wedge handbag at kate spade, citrus top at zara, stella mcartney clutch
TAM SAM The Zara blouse is delicious!
thecreme How cute is that bag? It’s kind of genius, no?

Orange scares me a little bit but this is super x

I’m trying to gather up the courage to grow a little orange plant. It was in Martha or Cottage living at some point. I have a corner in my living room that would be perfect.

Whenever I’m in need of an inspiration refresh, I sit down and go through my files, pulling out the images that are speaking to me the most. Going through more current tear sheets usually results in a trend-inspired bulletin board (which I’ll be sharing with you soon!), but perusing my older digital files helps me [...]
You know when you see something you love, and then you instantly start to notice it everywhere? That’s how it’s been for me the last few weeks with these gorgeous oversized antique French wine bottles…The obsession originally began with this post where I noted how much I adored the use of the different sized bottles [...]
Anonymous So fresh!!! So vintage at the same time…for some reason green glass takes me back to Provence. Lovely.
Anonymous Green glass is so refreshing with natural sunlight reflecting through it! Beautiful…
Anonymous Love the pop of green!!!
Anonymous I've seen them and own 3 clear ones from Anthropolige (years ago) but I never realized they were old wine bottles (or copies of anyway). Now I like them even more AND I'm inspired to put some long branches in them and move them out to where I see them more often instead of my bathroom vanity. Thanks.
Anonymous i love these! and now i want them! a new house needs new things!
Anonymous I love green!
Green glass is bery beautiful!
Anonymous Gorgeous!!
Anonymous I adore these. Hopefully I can find some authentic ones on my trip to France next month
Anonymous Oh Cassie, those are everywhere here in Houston and I also saw a ton of them in Napa last fall. I think you should come for a visit and we can go hunt some demijohns down for you! Can you imagine carrying one back on the plane?
Anonymous Love these! I saw them at Pottery Barn too… http://www.potterybarn.com/products/found-oversized-wine-bottles/?pkey=cdecorative-home-accents
Anonymous how can you not love emerald green? ever since angelina jolie wore those drop emerald earrings @ the oscars i've been hooked!
Anonymous I love those bottles! Pottery Barn is carrying some right now that are pretty cool. South of Market is an absolute fav of mine too, but they are sooo pricey! Good Luck.

Anonymous I love the green glass. Are those eucalyptus branches on the mantel? What a cool idea!
Anonymous You had me @ green..love their shapes ♥
Anonymous i think you are on to something!!!!
love that!
Anonymous Gorgeous! I would put a few of them near my fireplace in our living room. I love green glass, it's always so pretty!
Anonymous There are some gorgeous green glass tumblers are Athropologie right now. A definite must have!
Anonymous always a classic colour! love it
Anonymous Yum those are fun! I am contemplating one accent wall in a dark green hue close to this. So maybe a few bottles elsewhere will tie in nicely. Let's see if I have the guts to paint!
Anonymous Hehe!! I've got a lot of those green glasses !! In France, we still can find them !!
We're lucky ! 
Anonymous I have actually always said to myself that I'd have different-sized bottles as decor pieces when I finally have my own home
Anonymous Were hanging old wine bottles with lights in them at the Anthropologie I work at right now. They look really nice.
Anonymous Yes, yes, and yes. I especially love the light green hue to recycled glass. So gorgeous.

Anonymous I found one of these in almost that exact shade of green at a thrift store maybe like 2 years ago for no more than $10 and immediately snatched it up. Ever since I've been looking for another one similar…still keeping an eye out for it!
Don’t you just love the retro glam vibe of disco balls? Fabulous when paired with dark wood, used as the inspiration for an overdone gown, or clustered on the floor instead of the ceiling… But my favorite purpose is for the room who just cant’ seem to take itself too seriously… Perfectly unexpected and playful. [...]
Anonymous J’adore that second picture. Oh, how I covet that disco ball inspired skirt!
Anonymous That last room is awesome. (Strangely, awesome is the first word that came to my mind.)

Anonymous Unique, yes. But I have to say I don’t like the disco ball in that room. It’s near perfection as is and I can see a beautiful chandelier in that room.. not. a. disco ball. I know that everyone has his/her own taste/opinions, and I certainly respect what you are saying about this room not being taken too seriously. However, I think the “fun” aspect could have been brought in through maybe just adding a little more color…
Anonymous Oh that skirt is beautiful. I love the disco ball in an otherwise sedate room. Also love the multiple disco balls. The light looks beautiful.
Anonymous Oh, wow! Such a lovely and totally unexpected touch to such an otherwise formal room!
Anonymous Love the disco feel!
Anonymous What an excellent addition to the otherwise too formal room!
Anonymous Ooooh, you just gave me an idea! I am a renter so I can’t really invest in beautiful pendants or chandeliers that need to be wired, so I’m always looking for reflecting surfaces like mirrored sconces that hold candles, mercury balls and lucite to reflect light. A disco ball might look kind of cool at night above my little round dining room table.
Thanks!

Anonymous I love Tim walker’s photo’s and a bit of disco in the home. That living room just might be my dream room. Then again, I like any excuse to bring the party home.
Anonymous I HEART a good disco ball!
There is nothing prettier and it bounces so much light around!

Anonymous Whoa a DISCO BALL SKIRT! That is sooo cool! It all looks so classy too.
Anonymous Love the last photo – so unexpected & fun.
life is in the details. style accordingly.
Great finds! I go back and forth between loving bright colors and being drawn to more muted ones. So many great patterns in this style, too, that I think would be very easily layered.
We just returned from Colorado so this post is so fitting for me right now…love this look!
Loving this color combination.
LOVE IT!

Love that palette and your selection of pillows and rugs is perfect. J’adore le Ikat Square Pillow !
I mean!!… how gorgeous is that?
I love this color palette, and mix of prints of course. I think these soft colors make it easier to mix in bolder patterns together.
This is so great. I love how all the color mix. They are really subtle and muted. They would be so relaxing in a living environment. Those stripe pillows are divine!
ooooo i love this!!! beautiful!
I love this look! The prints and colors work so well together!
Not only do I love the patterns but I love the gorgeous warm colors! Great finds.
