GETTIN READY FOR FALL

By finding inspiration for some fall looks. It's not hard to do right now there are photos everywhere relating to fall, meanwhile it is over 80 degrees outside.

These looks make me weak in the knees...Danish designers always seem to get it right!

GOLD RUSH

I have been wearing gold jewelry and loving all things to do with gold for about ten years now. I cannot remember the last time I wore a single silver item. I am loving the gold rush in the home as well. Who would have thought we would go back to installing gold hardware in a kitchen...but it's so shining and regal and well...golden.

WHAT I'M LOVIN RIGHT NOW...

Pretty much everything about this room {and her outfit]



What a great idea for vintage books.


This eye makeup. I think I will have to use this for an upcoming editorial photo shoot I'm going to be apart of.


Kate Spade can you do no wrong. I want sequin walls STAT!



I want to do a photo shoot with a white horse.


This outfit is so flipping cute!


And this clutch...really?


Golly, this has me thinking about fall. Camel gold and layers of bracelets is perfection!


Yummy arm candy.


This says it all.

FUN Room Makeover

I had the pleasure of working with a very sweet nine year old girl to create her a "grown up" space. Phoenix had recently left the bedroom she shared with her sister and we had a new room that was a clean slate. Literally, there was a mattress in the corner and a hodgepodge of left over furniture in the room. It was fun to have to start from scratch. It was not so much fun to have to accomplish this in five days. That's right FIVE days. You see, this room makeover was used for a local magazine her in Bend Oregon called True North Parenting. It was a blast to be asked and I loved every minute of working on this project with Phoenix and her Dad {who did all the painting}.

My goal was to bring in her favorite items and colors. She said she wanted red and blue, but that could easily look too primary or fourth of july-ish. So I used red and paired it with an turquoise blue for a more sophisticated pallet. Phoenix is of Asian descent so she wanted that represented in the room along with her love of karate. Easy as pie.

Here is the result...


Her parents had this fabulous mid-century furniture that I had painted red and gold. This could have come out too serious if it wasn't for the clean and modern white walls. 


This bed was another gem they had hidden in a closet! After she was painted gold it became the star of the room {besides Phoenix herself}!


Chinese lantern installation.



Phoenix said her favorite thing in the room was this peacock mirror.

I can't wait for another project like this!

MODERN FLEA STYLE

What makes a space modern? What makes a space vintage inspired or flea market style? What makes a room "MODERN FLEA" Style? I will show you.

This space has a modern chrome legged sofa paired with a vintage oversized portrait of the Queen.

MODERN SOFA + VINTAGE PORTRAIT = MODERN FLEA

In the office we find an industrial style desk and chair along with a slew of vintage linens.

INDUSTRIAL FURNISHING + VINTAGE LINENS = MODERN FLEA

This home begins with fresh modern white walls and then layers in vintage doors, furnishings, and art.

WHITE WALLS + VINTAGE FURNISHINGS = MODERN FLEA

A lovely comfy sofa grounds this space while the natural texture and modern lines of the chairs create an ethereal feel.

UPHOLSTERED SOFA + MODERN TEXTURAL CHAIRS = MODERN FLEA


Even Kate Spade managed this style in her store...

VINTAGE BOOKS AND ACCESSORIES + GRAPHIC RUG = MODERN FLEA

Are you feeling the modern flea style? I kinda am. Lets rock it!
