INSPIRE CREATE INNOVATE
Okay, back to my search for beautiful, sometimes unattainable things!
This time it is table lamps. There are so many beautiful choice from cheap to chic, with varying heights and finishes! Which one is right for you? Well, take a look at a few at the top of my list!
Another part of my elusive search for the perfect design item, the decorative accent pillow!
Here are a few great options at very reasonable prices! Click on each image to visit the websites!
Okay, Part 2 of my quest for great design finds!
I think beautiful chandeliers are like jewelry for the home. They make a statement and enhance a space effortlessly!
Unfortunately, they can be very expensive!
Recently, I completed a lounge for my friend Vivian. Everyone loves the chandelier and wanted to know where it was purchased!
Vivian actually found it at Z Gallerie, this is the closest one they sell now.
Here are a few more I love from Z Gallerie & Arteriors Home.
Arteriors Home is a trade-only vendor that is available in some local stores or through design professionals.
Why is it that when you are looking for something, it mysteriously eludes you?
I thought it would be fun to start a recurring blog entry that involved the search for the elusive design element that will essentially pull a room together. It seemed fitting to base it on our long-standing quest for a mate!
Here are some great links to fabulous, eye-catching rugs!
This one is from a wonderful store in downtown St. Louis, called Atom!
They have lots more floral inspired mod rugs to choose from online!
Here is a great choice from Pottery Barn. Neutral, nice scale, would go with almost any style!
WS Home has the zebra rug market cornered!
This is available in both black & chocolate & would complete almost any room!
Keep checking back for more additions to “the one” series!
I’d love to hear what design pieces you are trying to locate!
Spring is probably my favorite time of year. Daffodils, my favorite flower, bloom before any of the other perennials and always signals the start of the season to me!
So, I have been working on patio options for clients and for myself. (I’m always searching for things I will buy when I eventually have a house and a millionaire husband!)
Here are some great new things I think you should check out!
I’m very excited about this new outdoor furniture line, Polywood! It is made from recycled milk cartons and seems almost indestructible! Check it out at: www.polywoodinc.com.
Everyone is gearing up for cocktails on the patio! This is the best time of year to find super cute plates, plastic stemware, etc for a picnic. I personally love using outdoor drinkware for every day indoors because it is so durable! Check out the super cute outdoor accessories at Pottery Barn! There are lots of things to explore in the store as well! www.potterybarn.com
Also, if you have kids and you want to prevent cute sofa pillows from getting ruined, outdoor pillows are a fun alternative! Since they are naturally good at repelling water it solves the spilled milk problem! Check out the outdoor pillows at West Elm! They look too nice to be left outside! www.westelm.com
Dust off the umbrellas, tackle the weeds and get ready to relax outside!
