What a Wonderful World (Market.)

I love shopping at World Market. I always seem to walk out with a cart full of great finds at ridiculously low prices. In checking out their online store lately, it seems as though their selection is on trend. Fantastic furniture, marvelous mirrors, luxurious lamps, outstanding ottomans, ridiculous rugs and killer kitchenware. Remember the silverware that I ordered from Neiman’s? See anything similar below? This bamboo flatware is truly a steal at $11.96 per set of four pieces.

Jenny From The Block.

Jennifer Lopez seems to be everywhere you turn these days, and last month’s Veranda is no exception. Let’s take a look at her gorgeous L.A. home designed by Michelle Workman.

I was actually surprised at how subdued and tranquil her home was. A little too formal for my family’s …ahem.. lifestyle- but beautiful, nonetheless. My girls and Bailey wouldn’t last 10 minutes in this living room.

Here comes my favorite. I am loving the blue cabinetry in her kitchen….And that stove? Perfection.

Chandelier love.

To be this important….

As you know, I am a color person, I feel like her dining room could use a little more punch, but I love the overall concept, and the chandelier.

Double Trouble.

Look what Momma just scored off of Craigslist… two wingback chairs- $175 for both! These will go in our living room, and I have yet to decide what fabric to reupholster them with. I am for sure painting the legs high-gloss black, As you may know by now, I have a hankering for all things pink…. I would LOVE to cover them in this pink linen from Highland Court…. I can’t wait to hear what Mikie has to say about that one!

Remember that pink chair that I fell in love with at the Design Center? I can’t stop thinking about the possibilities!

What do you think?

Orange Crush.

Remember this bench? Well I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of this Duralee Orange fabric to reupholster it. As you may know by now, I am a color person, and orange makes me happy.

It may be a while before everything is finished, so in the meantime I will entice you with these…

Jonathan Adler’s New York Apartment… A little splash or orange in every room!

A jaw-dropping orange and magenta velvet sofa.

Orange accents for your beach bungalow.

Orange piping.

Or perhaps an orange chair?

This is where orange meets masculine. Love it.

Loving Lotus.

I adore Farrow& Ball’s Lotus Papers. With so many colors to choose from, I am still amazed at how different each one can look. With just a mixing of positive and negative space, Farrow and Ball has created several different wallpapers in one! Not sure which one is for you? Order this swatch book and you can take your time to decide.

Chevronmania.

More widely known as herringbone, the chevron print has become extremely popular and can be found practically anywhere, on practically anything. I had always dreamed of one day having herringbone floors. Seeing as how I have perfectly good hardwood floors (okay they may not be what I would have picked if I built our house, but with two kids and a dog there is no way we are refinishing them.) I digress.. for now I can get snippets of chevron everywhere I look, and at every price range. I would LOVE to have a pair of curtains in Rubie Green’s East Village in Raspberry, but for now, I will settle for the Ellie bag, at $24.

A HomeGoods HomeRun.

Last week I stopped by my HomeGoods, which coincidentally is only a few miles from my house. I spotted some great bargains, and if I wasn’t on double secret probation from our AMX bill last month, many of these items would have come home with me.
