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.

Ciao for Now,

♥♥ Vicky

Educational and adorable. I completely fell in love with this piece of art and just had to buy it for the nursery.

New Shoes

I’m dreaming of wearing stilettos again (once I give birth and these cankles go away ;-)) This pair is classic but still make a statement.

Agagte Coasters

These coasters are functional, yes… but more importantly, they are gorgeous! A perfect housewarming gift… assuming you’re not on a strict budget 🙂

The new “it” Rug

I think this rug is stalking me. I see some version of it everywhere I look… in stores, on Pinterest, in magazines. It can only mean one thing… I have to have it!

Color Story: Going Green

Today, as I was browsing The Glitter Guide (one of my fave go-to sites for inspiration), I came across the latest ‘Style At Home’ piece featuring Catherine Sheppard of The Life Styled.  I instantly fell in love with her ultra feminine style and quirky accents (love the gold dinosaurs).

On of my favorite vignettes was this one where she accessorizes a console table with beautiful green accents.

I’m absolutely loving this shade of green that adds an air of vibrance to the room and reminds me of summer.  I was so inspired, I decided to scour the web to see what vibrant green pieces I could find.  I was looking for decor in lime and sea-foam shades in particular to keep the summer feel.  Here’s what I found:

1. Flowers – See your local florist 🙂 | 2. Pendant – CX Design, Lumens.com | 3. Chair – Green, 2modern.com | 4. Vase – iittala, 2modern.com| 5. Pillow – PoshTots.com | 6. End Table – Worlds Away, LaylaGrayce.com | 7. Night Stand – UrbanOutfitters.com

Are you looking to incorporate a bit of summer green into your decor?  Any other color you’re obsessing over right now?

Trend Alert: Southwest Style

19 Monday Mar 2012

blue, brass, casual, chair, coffee table, family room, gold, lamp, leather, Living Room, mirror, ottoman, pillow, recliner, rug, runner, sofa, southwest, vase, wood

I found this rug while browsing Gilt Home and I love it!  It’s so unique and is a prime example of the southwest trend I’ve been seeing so much of lately.

Southwest style tends to have lots of deep, rich colors like the blues and golds in the rug.  It’s often also associated with shades of mauve and turquoise, but sometimes those feel a bit too literal.  It’s all about natural and organic elements, so leather, wood and brass prevail… along with anything in an earth tone.  Most of all, it’s about casual comfort and warmth!

I decided to challenge myself to “furnish” a southwest inspired room… and, since I found my inspiration on Gilt, I designed the whole room with items available on Gilt Home (no, they’re not paying me for this post, it just happens to be one of my favorite sites!) So, here it is… what do you think?

Runner– Nourison│Rug– Nourison│Starburst Mirror– Mirror Image │Kanishka Decorative Pillow– Anichini │Baroque Gold Leaf Floor Lamp– Arteriors Home │Ottoman- no longer available │Sofa– A. Rudin │Trapeze Coffee Table– Central Station │Angelic Bottle Vase– Joe Cariati │Agate Slice– Brenda Houston │Brass Sculpture – Arteriors Home │Leather Reclining Chair– Modern Milano

Treasure Hunting

abric, flea market, guitar, seating, shopping, thrift, turquoise, vintage

Today my sister and I decided to hit the Rose Bowl Flea Market.  It was the first time for both of us… so fun and so overwhelming.

My sister has discovered an obsession with turquoise, so she tried out this chair…

…but no purchase

I’m looking to re-upholster my dining room chairs so we stopped at a fabric booth…

…but no purchase

Finally, we found a piece that inspired us… a vintage electric guitar case

We’re thinking of turning it into a coffee table, but the possibilities are endless.  You’ll have to check back often to see what we make of our treasure 🙂
