From the personal file AND on my radar - Insect Needlepoint Pillows.

Oh my goodness.... Jonathan Adler has done it again.
How bananas are these!?!?




Here's my living room - (excuse the pic) to refresh your memory.
I see my next splurge on the horizon - and its looking like it may be these!
These are my colors and I think would jive perfectly with my Trina Turk/F. Schumacher pillows.

What do you think?

Turquoise and yellow office... with a dash of Honey.

Tamara-Kaye Honey of House of Honey knows how to design a room and I am a HUGE fan of hers!  I love how she incorporates amazing vintage finds and really know show to work with color palettes.  This is an office she recently designed in S. Pasadena.  It really is a special place.  I can only imagine the creativity that comes out of this office.

Gorgeous!

Quirky Love - From the personal file

I love quirky-ness.  I love pieces that make you do a double take and this room is filled with so so so many. It's a room filled with show stoppers and I love that!  Every piece can stand alone.
Let's begin, shall we?
1. The rams' heads coffee table base
2. The black and white rug
3. The bright yellow sofa
4. The gold side table
5. The crystal chandelier
6. The horse painting
7. The black with gold detailing credenza
8. The horn accent table
9. The khaki/grey wing chair

and the list goes on... and on.... Amazzing!

A neat idea for a garden stool

Everyone has a garden stool, I have an elephant; the besty: Christine has an elephant, we all have some type of garden stool... It's interesting because when I first looked at this picture I thought the designer was using the garden stool to hold up the glass topper, when it actually is a lucite table with the elephant underneath... this lead to an idea. Why not buy a piece of glass to put on top of the garden stool and make a side table out of it?

One happy little living room

Love this room and all the amazing details involved! It's so fun and vibrant! It's also not the largest of spaces, so I think they fit a lot of great strong pieces to maximize each inch. And that dog in the corner is way chic.

Flea Market-ing it up

Here are some pics from my usual 3rd Sunday of the month activity... LB Flea market. I didn't have much personal luck - because what I am looking for is waaay to specific and I can only find it on 1st dibs (which is waaay out of my price range), anyway - here's what I saw. It's such a good spot. If you ever make it to So. Cal you gotta go! It's so fun!! Great vintage furniture, clothing, jewelry.... interesting people with strange stories.... you get it all here! And the funny part is, I find it so relaxing. I looove gold guilded anything - hence the fact that I already have a wheat stack lamp in my living room, but I sure loved these. $150 per pair.
The horse head reminded me of the Kelly Wearstler bathroom belonging to her kids with the 2 white horse heads with he blood-shot eyes. kind of creapy.... and kind of cool all at the same time.

A peacock chair in PERFECT condition for $30! I have no purpose for this, my best friend already has one, and I would have no way of getting this sucker home. But it's pretty bad ass.


I love anything needlepointed.

Loved this white chandelier, the lily flower blooms I found to be so interesting.

My Lincoln

I am convinced that animals make the world go round, they make our lives a little bit calmer and a little bit kinder, and make people remember to stop and smell the roses. This is my cocker spaniel, Lincoln and he is 8 years old. He was 6 weeks old when I got him in college and that could have been the best day of my whole life. It's amazing how a dog can change your life in so many positive ways. I know that Lincoln has been taking care of me probably more than I've taken care of him. He is my best friend. So... now we are here. And my Lincoln had to have back surgery -- due to a flipped disc on his spinal cord, which has led to his back legs being paralyzed. We won't know for a few days if he will be able to walk again, but there is an 80% recovery rate. Please say as many prayers and send warm wishes to Mr. Lincoln.

Happy Young Fun Bedroom



I am helping a blog reader with her bedroom and having road blocks. So, I have been on the hunt for perfect bedroom ideas for a really cool 17 year old girl with lots of style. I saw this... and just thought it was darling. Love the easy bedding, the set up of accessories on the dresser, the pom pom-ed pillows, the zig zags, and the wicker furniture. This screams happy! It's not really the look I was going for, but it made me smile!
