For those of you with kiddos, you’ve probably already discovered one of my favorite sites, The Land of Nod.  But even if you don’t have kids, you should definitely check them out.  Their pieces are amazing… playful enough for kids, but chic enough for us grown-ups.

Here are 5 finds that I’m obsessed with right now.

I mean, seriously, how chic are these pieces? Do you have a favorite?

P.S. All of their furniture is 15% off thru Monday, so if you have your eye on a piece, I suggest you swoop it up quickly!

Happy New Year! Okay, I know I’m a little late, but, for most of us, today is “back to reality” day.  So, I thought I’d provide some ‘golden nuggets’ to brighten your day.

By now, you all know about my obsession with gold (here, here and here are just a few examples), and then there’s my love of geometric decor… put those together and you have items that I’m absolutely obsessed with.

Here are 5 picks I have my eye on.

If you have a slight shopping obsession (which i may or may not have), and you like pretty things (check), I highly suggest you download the One Kings Lane app onto your phone or iPad (or both like I did). Last night I got totally sucked in, mesmerized by all of the prettiness. Hours later I found myself giddy by all of the glorious finds, and a little sad that I couldn’t buy all of it.

Lucky for you, I’ve narrowed it down to my top 5 picks. A room with any (or all) of these pieces is sure to delight.

Do you have a favorite of the 5? It’s so tough to choose just one!

The Luxe Tuft

If you’re looking to add a little luxe to your space, look no further than tufted furniture.  Tufting details lend a sense of sophistication to a space without going over the top.  I prefer tufted furniture in a neutral or basic color like cream or gray.  No need to over-do it, you often only need one piece and you’ve got instant glam.

Here are a few idea starters for adding tufted furniture to a room in your home.

Lately I’ve been completely obsessed with all things gold-dipped.  That touch of gold adds just enough glamour – transforming an ordinary object into something fabulous. The best part? Many times it’s a simple DIY project!

Here are a few of my faves… enjoy!

Did you know that today is officially Denim Day?!?  No really, everyone has an excuse to wear jeans to work today.

Denim Day was started by the non-profit organization, Peace Over Violence, in protest of sexual violence against women.  It’s such an important cause which is why today’s post is all about denim.

Here to prove that denim can be chic, here are some examples of denim done right.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Ours was pretty low-key which means I had a bit of time to catch up on some reading… and by reading I mean perusing catalogs and magazines. Of course that can be a dangerous activity because it just makes me want to buy stuff… and on that note I just couldn’t resist sharing 5 great finds that I’m dying to have from West Elm.

Just gorgeous, right!

Notice how everything has a hint (or more) of gold. I just can’t get enough. Any color that you can’t get enough of right now? Leave a comment and let me know. Perhaps it will inspire a new color board.
