Sitting Pretty

 
Love the color, love the fabric, love the hydrangea, love the rug, love the white.....

I have a few exciting posts up my sleeve this week; something about a new book, something about a fantastic photographer, something about an artist, something about a jewelry designer! All very artsy and fabulous!!

I will end the week with my first giveaway, so check back to read more and to see how to enter! (we are all so busy with gifts for everyone else, so this will be for you!!)

Let's have a fun start to the holiday season!!!

Just a pretty picture!

Love the warmth of the wood floor, in this predominantly cool space.....

Wave action!

This evening I went down to the beach to take a walk and see the waves roll in...

... and this is what I saw!
Beautiful tall waves - we very seldom get these here - lots of wind and many surfers enjoying themselves! This direction is due east, and the dark clouds on the horizon is Hurricane Irene, just leaving the Bahamas. It was quite beautiful down at the beach; lots of people taking it all in, very windy but warm.

Just wanted to share :)

Raw space, raw grace...

Kind of a cool space, no?

I am liking the simplicity a lot!! The clean white walls and painted rafters vs the raw unfinished look of the cement floor and unfinished wall. The large console table in the back with its asymmetric base, is just perfect and visually light enough for the space. The old beat up table and chairs lend just enough patina to the space, and the teal adds just the right amount of cool color to the otherwise monochromatic space... Do you like the lighting? I'm not sure I would have chosen all these different shapes and sizes, but I guess as a whole it works.

Have a wonderful day today!!

Etsy love

Somehow I ended up on Etsy....
Rusty Cricket to be exact, and these were just too cute to pass up!



Unfortunately I have no room for them, but I just love the color of the background, and the slightly weathered look.

 

Would be super cute in a beach house, or in a children's room.

 

... and this last one is for N & P; remembering Theodor....

Just thinking out loud; how to frame these? In black frames? In wood frames? In white? Not at all??

I guess, when it really comes down to it, it totally depends on the interior. How would you tackle this project?

Have fun this weekend!

New on the virtual newsstand...

I was so tempted to post an image from the fantastic Black & Spiro store (that I have never visited), but figured that I would leave that up to others...
You all know how much fun I think that store is; I even proclaimed once, that I wanted to live there...

That being said, there are so many wonderful "blog homes" to view, and to read about, in the new Adore Home Issue. It just went live yesterday.

I come away with the above image, based on the beautiful saturated colors, the natural elements... Beautiful green glass, pottery in the most fantastic teal, the lemons ad a wonderful pop of color and what I can only imagine to be fresh herbs in the background. Loving the play on matte and shiny, glass and glaze, grey and white! Notice how your eye is drawn back to the amber and red glass ware in the very back...

This is my favorite image of them all!
Happy reading,

Natasha

Details

Something so sweet and girl-y about these two images... Almost like a secret look into private quarters!

Love the silvery textures and colors in the first image, and the golden brassy feel of the second image!

When you are not wearing your jewelery, do you display it? Do you hide it, or do you simply have so much that you have a designated drawer for your accessories??

Do you have a favorite image?? While I am more of a silvery, white gold, platinum kind of girl, I tend to like the golden image better.... hmmmm.... probably the teal that's drawing me in.

Pillow Talk

I came across this beautiful bedroom this morning, on my morning blog-tour....
What first grabbed my attention was the soothing colors, then after further studying the image, I noticed that the wallpaper and pillow fabric (by Nina Cambell) is the same. I love that the headboard fabric is a bit more satuated. The gourd style lamp base is also in the color family, as well as the floor covering. The styling is impeccable, notice the back of the books in the nightstand! Pillow fabric and wallpaper available here. 

Would you cover the walls and the bedding in the same fabric? A little much, or?
To me... it's just perfect, especially because it has been broken up by all the white, as well as the natural wood.

Happy Monday!

Ohhhhh, how I totally did not want to get out of bed today!! I was hoping the weekend could last a little longer, if not a few hours more.... and if only my bedroom only looked this good and pulled together...

I L.O.V.E the color of the upholstered bed and the duvet cover is fantastic! A little traditional, but it's really a nice mix I think, you? And you can't beat the fresh flowers on the nightstand. Notice how the edge of the skirt on the nightstand picks up the teal color in the headboard and also makes the accent in the duvet pop!

Dreamy!!
