Memory lane...

Take a trip down memory lane and travel back to the fourth issue of Lonny.  The repetitive pattern of ostriches gracefully speckled across living room walls and elegant photography of shiny gold heels have been lingering in my mind.  To continue this trip down memory lane, take a trip over to this post {Two Dimensional Ostriches} about Michelle Adam's insanely glamorous apartment.

Enjoy this glimpse of my other words at EcoSalon this week {take a look, maybe even leave a comment or rate my words}.
Relish in these color tips and infuse a little personality into your space with these four simple rules {Non-Invasive Surgery}.  Or continue to swoon for luscious tufted upholstery with this gorgeous gathering of perfect tufts {The Versatile Tuft}.  Explore the 'Handpicked' series with the lovely Rachel of eTTa designs {Handpicked: eTTa designs}.

Insatiable greed...

If I could have this art, I would.

If I could have this couch, I would.

If I could have this table, I would.

If I could have walls this color, I would {but for now I will have to settle for a nightstand this color...more on that later}.

Delicious dichotomy...

This chair is a delicious dichotomy of raw industrial iron and plush luxurious upholstery - graceful ambivalence perched on four legs. 

{Harmoni og Kontrast had me swooning over it immediately.  I am still swooning.}

Midsummer lust...

Just a little something tufted and lovely, the Chester Sofa from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams.

Glossy muse...

Today my mailbox was embellished with the new Ballard Designs catalog.  Here are a few things worth sharing.

The Sofia Settee.

The Louisa Bergere Chair & Ottoman.

The Firenze Embroidered Panel {in Gray}.

The adorable bee plaque {in Bronze} from the Set of Three Entomology Plaques.

The wallpaper collection at Ballard Designs will make your heart race.  Here is a little peek at the beauty.

Decorative Frame Wallpaper and Vintage Frame Wallpaper.

 

 

The shining glory of Ballard Designs, sweet and delicious Trellis Wallpaper {in Pearl and Green}. 

I am seriously coveting this Trellis paper.

Jayson's still charming...

Today my tiny mail slot was full of sigh inducing beauty, the new Jayson Home & Garden catalog {it seems wrong to call a visual delight of beautifully styled bliss and products a mere catalog};each glossy page is filled with more perfection than the last. 

Here are a few things that are longing to live under my roof.

A charming Bee Specimen Box.

Bone china Farmers Market Baskets with a smooth and glossy finish to hold the season's sweetest pickings.

Functional and structural whimsy, the Workshop Cage Lights.

I want to collapse into the historical Gloria Chair. 

Two sofas equally adorable and stunningly unique, the Angelica and Amalfi Sofa.

Anthropologie 201...

Remember the lecture series I promised?  Let the lecture continue. Today Anthropologie will light up your living room {and life}. This post is all about tufts and weaves, upholstered goods, and window textiles.

This Battersea Sofette has all the tufts and charm your living room desires.

In case your sofa is lonely, here is a charismatic companion - the Conservatory Chair. 

Dress your window panes with glamour, these panels are unique and completely adorable: Adorations Curtain, Buttonwood Curtain, Deep Sea Curtain, Viceroy Velvet Curtain, and the Spiral Vine Curtain.

Though I am not easily won over by curtains (not usually my cup of tea, I admit), how delicious are those Deep Sea Curtains?!?!

Jayson's charm...

Elle Decor & Lonny have been seducing me with glossy advertisements from Jayson Home & Garden.  I finally submitted to searching the Jayson Home & Garden website; love at first sight!  Here are a few details I couldn't help but share.

The Vintage French Chair with antique Belgian grain sack upholstery is to die for.

This giclee print of a vintage London Bus Sign is stunning.

Rustic and elegant, the Snow Antler Pillow adds an element of impulse to any space.

Revitalized salvaged warehouse light bulbs serve as Factory Light Sculptures, genius.

Looking for a piece of furniture to last forever?  Try Petrified Wood.

Oh la la Los Angeles...

Today I stumbled across Cisco Brothers {thank you John Derian Company}.  Cisco Pinedo puts as much effort into being green as he does into furniture and upholstery design.  From material sources {soy based foam and reclaimed and certified wood} to slight details {eco friendly laundry detergent}, Cisco ensures every part of his design and production is sustainable. 

My favorite Cisco piece?  The Reina Chair; feminine but strong, a wonder in eggplant.

OKA, I covet thee...

OKA has an inspiration gallery to die for; handfuls upon handfuls of interiors and vignettes to adore.  This dining room {from the Converted Barn gallery} makes my heart flutter.

The Arthur Table in Burnt Oak is a beautiful place to gather.

 

Two chairs I am currently coveting: the Lulworth Chair in Natural Linen and the Chantal Chair in Ice Blue Cotton.

This living room {from the Weekend Cottage gallery} has something I absolutely have to have, the fireplace.  Oh, how rusticated wood trim and casual mortar make me melt!

I suspect OKA and I will get along beautifully.

Wisteria's whimsy...

Not long ago, I was pleasantly surprised while perusing the pages of a new catalog.  Wisteria captured my heart by page three. 

My favorite interiors result in an eclectic, cohesive blend of numerous styles - when the ornate details of Louis XIV balance perfectly with the rustic teak of Balinese furniture.  East meets West.  Shine meets matte.  Scrolls meet straight.  Wisteria is the place to find those key pieces that radiate style; each unique piece screams with character and begs for love.  Here are a few that have earned my love...

The French Country Headboard comes in black, white, and {darling!} natural.

Linen graces the surface of the Oversized Tufted Ottoman, just as it would be a graceful bench in any entry.

Highly polished glamour, the German Silver Bowfront Chest.

The pragmatic French Industrial Coffee Table relies on the "practicality of the Industrial Era and the refinement of French design".

Inspired by a 19th century Scandinavian antique, the Spindle Leg Table makes an inspiring console, side table, or desk.

A faultless place to sit, the Linen European Chair is influenced by Louis XV and Swedish design.

Neoclassical perfection, the Triple Medallion Settee.

A few embellishing accessories to share.  The Handsome Wooden Porthole Mirror is, well, handsome.

These recycled glass bottles, Message on a Bottle, are gathered by hand and then topped with actual ocean keepsakes.

My kitchen {and my love for design} is earning for the next few jewels.  The Silver Plated Colonial Pitcher makes a glossy server, whether it's glasses of lemonade or a helping of hydrangeas.

This set of Vintage Kitchen Utensil Hand Towels is the prettiest place to dry your hands {and your utensils}.

These Portable Pots would make an encouraging house for a delectable herb garden. 

I adore gifts that come in wrapping as thoughtful as the gift, and these Acts of Kindness Wine Jute Bags are a kind way to wrap your favorite vino.

With so many sweet sentiments in the form of furniture and accessories, the whimsy of Wisteria will charm you, too.
