Kelly Wearstler: Rhapsody

I received a sneak peak from the Publisher of Kelly Wearstler’s new book, Rhapsody.  And I must say, I am quite impressed.

Here are some of my favorite parts.

I love the insight that this book gives you to Kelly’s creative process.

As usual, it’s perfect.  Get your copy here.

Fashion Friday: In the Pink.

We are well into Fall, and Winter will be here before we know it.  I love color anytime of year but in the winter, I tend to turn up the intensity even more.  It’s no big secret that pink is my ultimate fave.  Lately I have been buying even more pink than usual.  Here are some pinkalicious pieces that have caught my eye as of late.

Overstock.com

It’s no secret that I am a big fan of Overstock.com.  I have had some major scores there… Like our kitchen rug or bedroom bench to name a few.  Here are some steals that I found on my latest hunt.
Love this Mosaic tile.
 How gorgeous is this gold and marble table?
Seriously contemplating this chandy for our guest bedroom.
Sunburst Mirror on the cheap.
The fabric on this ottoman is so versatile.. great to use instead of a coffee table (especially if you have little ones learning to walk!)
I am in love with this bed.
Fabulous pillows.
This rug is a great Madeline Weinrib knockoff!
Who doesn’t love a tufted ottoman?
Loving this baby.
This curved bench would be so perfect at a large round table.  I would definitely want to reupholster it. 😉

Designing Your Own Fabric.

I started working on our living room/dining room project long before the days of Spoonflower.  I was so annoyed during this process,  because I knew what I wanted, but I just couldn’t find it…  ANYWHERE.  So, I scoured the earth for the perfect yellow linen and worked with my go-to-artist, Corinne Marlowe to create a stencil that would provide the exact look that I was going for.  Not as cost-effective as buying something off the shelf, but to me, it was worth every penny.  I just love the way the metallic gold paint dresses up the linen.  It takes this space to a whole new level.
Here is the stencil that we created.
Corinne hand-stenciled the fabric.
And I had the panels made… And voila!  Here they are in the living room…
and dining room…

Paperless Post + Kate Spade.

For those of you that are late to the party, Paperless Post is not-so-paperless anymore.  But that’s old news.  What’s new is their addition of Kate Spade papers to their line.  They are looking goo-ood.
Check out the entire line here.
