black & white

I've never loved black and white so much. 

There are seriously no words for this piece of furniture. 

the early bird

A while back I fell in love with a sofa on craigslist. It was a crewel sofa in perfect condition. It looked like it came straight from the pages of an anthropologie catalog and it had a great color palette. But I made a mistake, I waited, I thought. And then the price went down, to $125. But still, I waited. And then I called and then it was gone. Given away. I hope the lucky family who received this beauty loves it to death. 

My heart is still sad that this sofa doesn't belong to me. Lesson learned, the early bird gets the best stuff. 

Old is new-sneak peek

I've been working like a little bee on a handful of rooms over here, most of which are nearing completion and will be shared with you soon. 

Here's a little peek at a fun basement playroom I've been working on. The details in this room are so fun and energetic. 

Isn't this vintage sofa to DIE for?

lovely leather

One of my e-decorating clients bought this lovely sofa from Jayson Home and Garden and we just ordered some sassy pillows to keep it company. I can't get enough of it. Tufting plus distressed leather can be beautiful combination. 

kiwi couch

Remember how we all loved Jenna Lyons {Creative Director @ J. Crew} home when it was featured in Domino? Well Brown Button has posted images from a another shoot in Living Etc.

This image above with the kiwi couch jumped out at me, it looked so familiar and then I remembered I spotted this twin on overstock a few days ago.  Interestingly enough, the sofa looked yellow in the original shoot in Domino, but in the Living Etc shoot it looks more kiwi colored. I'm wondering which is the real color. 

I am loving the lines on the sofa. I think I could live with kiwi! 

Pamplemousse Design

I love the simplicity of the sofa in this room and how it contrasts with the bold geometric of the rug. This is the living room of Delpine Krakoff who owns Pamplemousse Design. 

I think it is often true that designers save some of their best ideas for themselves and I think the simple border accents on this stunning sofa are a prime example. It has a high end look but could easily be recreated with a sofa from a big box store and a great seamstress or a little stitch witchery and some grosgrain riboon. 

covet

One of my best friends Jill scored this sofa at a local thrift for a ridiculously low price.  It is in almost immaculate condition. 

Are you dizzy with jealousy? Me too.
