Feeling Luxe?

I am. Feeling luxe that is. Maybe it’s the turn of the seasons and the nearness of the holidays that is moving me towards golds and furs, but whatever it is, it’s sure got a hold on me! A few things I’m loving right now…

This gilded gold chair from Soane out of the UK, would look so perfect in my bedroom. It might even be chic enough to keep me from piling my clothes on it! And even though the red is sexy, for my room I’d cover it in a velvety grey… so yummy.

I have no idea why I’m so obsessed with having a fur throw for my bed right now, but I just love how sumptuous it looks! This room is especially gorgeous with its warm wood walls, crisp white sheets, and a furry little throw (minus kitty, thank you – none of those allowed in my room). Although I think that mirror should be gilded in gold (surprise), and hung above the bed! While wood walls at home might be a little restricting, this room would be perfect for a little resort or second home in the San Juans…

Oh, and you can choose from a selection of them at Pottery Barn which is where they usually end up catching my eye sometime in November, and then I wait ’til after Christmas and cross my fingers for a sale!

This pillow from mimou is just in time for the holidays, and if I can get my hands on one, you better believe it’s getting tossed onto my couch! Again, contrasts here are key, and I love the raw silk with the sequins in a fun little pattern.

This is Ridiculous… and I Love It.

Ok, seriously… who needs a hammock in their home? Better yet, who needs an extremely luxe fur-lined hammock in their home? And still… I just want to jump into it, curl up with a good book, and take a nap.

Available at Vivre, the hammock is lined in coyote fur (i know, i know, real fur! bad!) and I can just picture it in a lofty home with rich wood walls like this one…

(PS – Love the zebra chairs, even though I’m sick of seeing zebra everywhere, not to mention the architecture of the room itself!)

Room of the Week 11.16

I had a hard time finding an inspiring Room of the Week today… maybe it’s because I have so many rooms that I like pieces of, but finding an entire room to be inspirational? That’s tough. So I went back to my one of my favorites… Jay Jeffers.

This is a room I’ve been saving for a rainy day. It’s so Hollywood glamour… I want to throw on a fur lined satin robe and eat bon bons all day…

Obviously its those gorgeous windows that make the room, but there are so many wonderful details here! I especially love the coffee table – such great shape, but also a lightness that lends to the overall feel of the room. Those side tables are also amazing… and the lamp on the right is stunning with its double shade and light aqua. I want it! Such a soothing palette and very dreamy, this is a room I could definitely live with.

A Pencey for Your Thoughts…

My best friend Erin sent me this chic little ensemble yesterday from Pencey, and I am head over heels for this gorgeous green and creamy white combo. Perfect for the holidays… and all winter long.

Plus, I love this model’s totally messy hair – looks just like mine in the morning ;)

Why Didn’t I Think of This?

When I think of wallpapered kitchens I picture teeny little roses in a country/shabby chic pattern that makes me wanna puke. I spent too much of my childhood in kitchens just like that… but THIS idea… this idea is pretty genius.

Put in some gorgeous wallpaper and instead of fretting over greasy kitchen buildup or splatters from baking, you simply place a pane of glass over the wallpaper to keep it nice and easy for cleanup. DUH!

    Love, love, love this! And answers the question, “what can I put over the flowery wallpaper that won’t come off my kitchen wall?”

    Isn’t it funny how such a simple solution can seem so smart!? I really do love this paper too… Yellow is so great in a kitchen.

Pretty as a Picture

In case you haven’t noticed, my style definitely tends to fall on the side of mod/trad (that’s modern traditional, fyi). So, when I find a piece that has a bit of both, I instantly fall in love. Hence my desire for this sweet little picture frame from Patina.

I also have a feeling this would make a great DIY project. Find an acrylic frame and then make your own frames for your photos within it!

    Mod/Trad – I like the term! This is an interesting solution to an often problematic issue of displaying family photos with style.
