In case you were wondering (I know I was!) where that gorgeous pendant lamp came from in the Room of the Week below… I’m pretty sure it’s the Caboche pendant lamp from Foscarini Caboche, available at Hive.
They come in a variety of sizes, and the smallest starts at $841. Such a fun shape! And a playful yet classy design.
Franki at life in a venti cup had originally posted this room a few weeks ago, and of course I loved it… one guess why!?
It’s my green! And I don’t know why I hadn’t thought about it sooner, but the bathroom seems like such a perfect place to put it. I’m loving how the floating sinks keep the room so light with a bright white floor, that glamorous chandelier, and of course the green Philippe Starck mademoiselle chair! Although, I think I would have to add just a splash of some other colors or patterns just to mix it up a little bit – and get rid of that wall sculpture (sorry, just not my style!) I just want to curl up in that big bath, light some candles, and relax ALL WEEKEND!
It’s officially November, which means it’s almost time for my favorite holiday. I know its going to sound like a Ms. America speech, but there is nothing better to me than Thanksgiving ~ a time to enjoy good food with family and friends while we give thanks for the things that REALLY matter in life. This year it seems even more important to me than usual, so I’ve decided to replace my usual Christmas cards with Thanksgiving cards this year. It’s a little unexpected, and a bit more from the heart.
These cards from Dauphine Press were the ones I chose. I loved the deep red and chartreuse green (a bit Christmas-ish, but not obviously so), and I loved the classic design.
If you’re interested in doing the same thing (even if its just for a few closest friends) here are some of my other favorite ‘thank you’ cards I found along the way…
From left to right: ilee birds thank you (a favorite of mine, this gal is from Seattle and her desk calendars are my favorite), also from Dauphine a pretty little pattern. Spell it out for them with a definition from Sapling Press. A sweet modern piece from Michelle Brusegaard, and what might be the best boxed deal, a set of assorted birdie thank yous from turtle papers.
Another favorite for sending a little love anytime…

This home I found via All Things Bright and Beautiful (a gorgeous little blog!). The open spaces with deep dark flooring, the pink backsplash in the kitchen, the simple aesthetic… I’m ready to move in!
Want it?? You’ll have to move to Australia… check out the listing for it here.
Anonymous It’s in MY neck of the woods, finally! I might go for a personal viewing this weekend! (Doubt I can even afford ONE PLANK from this gorgeous home.) LOVE the pink backsplash. Wouldn’t work if they had more painted walls though!
Good find!
Anonymous Dear Coco – thank you so much for mentioning me on your blog & adding me to your links!!! Glad you loved the posting – its a great house isn’t it!!
Drey – let me know if do go & see it – I’d love to know what it’s like from someone who’s actually been in it!!! It’s fab – but expensive!!!
Anonymous oh, yes yes! drey, if you visit you definitely must let us know if it’s as gorgeous in person. thanks much to both of you!
Anonymous oooh that pink backsplash is FANTASTIC. Great blog thanks for sharing.
Ok, I have to admit, I’m not a HUGE fan of Halloween. The pressure of a costume, and the fact that the weekend it’s celebrated usually falls on my birthday, has always made it a bit dreaded in my mind. However… if you’re gonna do it, you might as well do it right! If I had to pick a costume this year, this would be it, hands down!
Most of you know how obsessed I’ve been with peacocks and their patterns this fall, so really, what better ensemble to wear? This of course is Allison Sarofim at her infamous Halloween bash. Love the costume, hate the anorexic body. Eat something darling. The runner up?
So perfect for a home decor addict 
Anyone come up with a costume they LOVED this year? I’m pretty sure my all-time favorite is when I dressed up as Cyndi Lauper in the 3rd grade…
There’s something about a portrait that is so intriguing to me. You have to wonder… who was this girl? And what’s her story? I’ve been lusting over this very simple (yet ridiculously priced) portrait from the Woodson and Rummerfield showroom since seeing it a few months ago…
I just think she’s so cute… and of course I’m partial to brunettes, being one myself. Not to mention the 1950′s style. *sigh* So, I thought I’d peruse ebay to see if I could find anything even slightly similar, and came up with a few interesting pieces.
Starting bid? Only $9.95, and I love that the painting is a little worn out and damaged. You can bid on her here
There’s nothing cute and glamorous about this piece, but I still thought she was interesting… bids start at $49
This little girlie makes me giggle! Definitely more along the lines of what I was looking for, but not my style (or hair color), or price range. She starts at $275.
I’m not usually a fan of colored glasses or stemware for the table – I like to keep it simple. But, I am loving the shapes and hues of these glasses from iittala.
Especially this smoky brown…
Hmmm… I wonder if they could double as votives too?
life is in the details. style accordingly.
I usually hate green but through several blogs and posts I’ve seen it and I begin to like it. This room looks gorgeous
I love that shade of green and I love it with all the white!
you know, melanie, i used to despise green too ~ probably because my mother always wanted sage green everything in our house. but this bright shade is now my favorite! and i enjoy a good olive green too… funny how it grows on you when you see it done well in a room…
and, to all the best, isn’t the green just perfect with all that white? (and a touch of dark brown wood of course…)
such a fresh colour for a bathroom! excellent choice of matching it with white
What a beautiful bathroom! Well chosen & good observation about the light in your next post!
Franki highlighted this pix from a post I did about some wonderful kelly green designs (Thanks, Franki!)…if you love all things green you should check it out.
nice blog.
Gorgeous and original bathroom! Love the saturated green and bright white–and cool light fixture!
