TGIF, right?!? Today’s post is once again in response to a question from one of my readers (who also happens to be a great friend ♥).  She just moved into a new place and is looking for a chair for her home office.  She’s ready for something fun with a pop of color or a pattern (or both), and something that can be moved into the living home for extra seating for guests.  Both her office and living room have patterned rugs (one has an ikat pattern and the other is geometric), so I wanted to be sure not to pick anything that would compete too much with those patterns… oh, and the rooms have lots of grey in them.

With all that in mind, I started the search. I was definitely steering clear of the traditional, boring office chair with wheels, but I was still able to find lots of options. Here are some that are particularly fun and fabulous.

Ciao for Now,

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today’s post is in response to a question from one of my readers. She just bought this BEAUTIFUL sofa…

Gorgeous, right?!?

So now she’s looking for a rug to complement it. I happen to know that she has a toddler, so I decided to go with options that have a darker base color (spill, what spill?).  I also wanted to make sure to not pick anything that was crazy expensive (well, maybe just one).  I’m giving her a few different options depending on the style and feel she’s envisioning for her space.

So… here are 4 picks from one of my secret go to sites for rugs

sophisticated & Contemporary

refined & Traditional

Fun & Graphic

bold & Eclectic

Fingers crossed she likes one of them.

The Patriotic Patio

Ahhh, July 4th… BBQ, fireworks, fun in the sun, and most importantly, a day off of work :).  In honor of Independence Day, I thought I’d focus on an outdoor space and keep things festive with a red, white and blue color scheme. I’m not one to embrace the ‘Yankee Doodle’ literal interpretation, so here’s my take on the patriotic patio.

Whether designing an indoor or outdoor space, I love to mix different styles to create a space that feels unique and inviting.  Here’s how I brought the space together:

First I brought in rustic and nautical elements.  The rustic items play off of the existing horizontal wooden panels and preserve the natural feel of the outdoor space. The nautical pieces hint toward the waters that lie beyond the infinity pool.

1. Planter – Anthropologie | 2. Table – Wayfair.com| 3. Light Fixture – Anthropologie | 4. Hammock – Anthropologie| 5. Rug – Wayfair.com | 6. Pillow – bludot.com

Next I brought in modern and contemporary touches both of which add pops of color.  The modern elements follow the architectural details of the home, while the contemporary elements tie everything together creating a cohesive and functional space.

1. Bench – Wayfair.com| 2. Lounge Chair – similar lexmod.com| 3. Dining Chair, 4. Vase, 5. Pillow, 6. Umbrella, 7. Stool – all Wayfair.com

 

So, that’s my take on the patriotic patio. Cheers to mixing design styles to create a one-of-a-kind space, and showing patriotism all summer long.

Happy 4th of July!

Series: Venice Garden & Home Tour – Kitchens

bamboo, kitchen, mint-green, orange, red, stainless steel, wood countertops

On day 5 of 7 in the Venice Garden & Home Tour Series, we’re braving the heat and heading into the kitchen. From cheery to serene, these kitchens would inspire even the least domestically inclined individual to get to cooking (at least that’s what I told my husband).

Here are the top 4:

Poppy mint-green makes cooking a dream

Who can complain about washing dishes with this view?

Sleek and shiny with a pop of color

If you have to stare at a wall while cooking, paint it orange with contrasting green bamboo planted in front 🙂

What’s Next? Tomorrow we’ll see how to bring the art world home.

5 Great Rug Options to Update Your Room

11 Wednesday Apr 2012

If you’re looking for a simple yet ultra-impactful way to update a room, a fabulous rug is the way to go. Lately, I’m obsessed with flat-weave rugs. For one, they’re super durable. But it’s more so their effortless beauty that draws me in. The “low profile” of flat-weave rugs keep them casual, but the multitude of design sensibilities gives them just the right amount of flare. One Kings Lane is having their ‘Flat-Weave Rug’ event, so I’ve decided to share my top picks!
