Not Typical

I was perusing another blog that I love Cotedetexas.blogspot.com and I had to share the images below. This is the inside of a home in Houston, Texas and is not at all my typical decorating style, however I am in love with it! First and foremost they used the Kelly Wearstler signature grey trellis fabric on the chairs, which I am currently figuring out some way to have in any facet of my home. Secondly, the color of the wood is so serene it looks so cozy, and the room can easily transition into each season and look practically perfect. I love love it :) Don't you???!!

Friday Favorite

I will rarely say that something is heavenly, but Veuve Champagne is exactly that...Heavenly!





Below are a few images that I am obsessed with! Veuve collaborates with Artist Florence Deygas. Deygas has worked with YSL,Fendi, & Vogue among many others. I want to blow one of these up and put it on a huge canvas in my living room :)

Maybe It Is The Name?

Below are a few of the current wallpaper samples that I am currently coveting. Aimee Wilder is a New York based designer who has worked with everyone from Dwell to Martha Stewart Living to Urban Outfitters to MTV Cribs. She is diverse and edgy while keeping her looks simple and easy on the eyes. My BFF shares the first name of Aimee and I think maybe simple loveliness might just come from the name : )

I Died!

It is possible that you have missed that I am literally obsessed with Jonathan Adler so I need to mention it again. Jonathan Adler is ridiculously perfect. I didn't think it could get better and then I stumbled upon this gem of a find this morning! Jonathan Adler now allows you to create your own pillows and rugs. You can choose from different patterns, colors, monograms, textures, sizes and just about anything else you can think of. A year a so ago I bought the Jonathan Adler Mansard Rug and although it definitely dented my wallet it was by far the best home investment I have ever made. To think that I could now customize everything exactly the way I want it is a dream. Take a look and I urge purchasing immediately!!

Almost Perfect

At first glance I wasn't to sure about two things in this photo. 1) I cant decide about her hair? I get where she was going but I think it looks a little like she got out of a steam room instead of "fresh of the beach". 2) Hate Hate the kitten shoes. I am sure they are Jimmy Choos or something ridiculous but not a fan. Her dress, however completely redeems the other two misses. I am in love with the petal pink/black combo and i think it fits her really well. Overall, I want this dress for the next time I am invited to the Tiffany & Instyle Party :). I guess it would be a faux pas to wear the same dress right?? :)

Just Perfect

Dabney Lee at home is my new favorite website. It is full of perfect thoughtful and original gifts for your friends or a little treat for yourself. Starting out with stationary her perfect little gifts are fun and original. Her website http://www.dabneyleeathome.com/ says this, "Dabney Lee Believes...Simple Pleasures are a must have. You should never arrive at someones home with out a thoughtful gift. Your monogram is a work of art. Your home office should inspire you and dazzle you. Color has no rules". I really love all of her stuff and I hope you do to!
