From the personal file: Pale purples and greys make a dreamy bedroom suite.

I recently saw this bedroom/living area suite featured at House of Turquoise and I just can't stop looking at it.  I know many of you have already seen it, but I wanted to share it again.  This room is livable, very stylish, soothing and yet not over top. I love how the wood walls are slidable to make it one room, or two, and the color palette and the choice of fabrics is perfection. 

Love it!

From the personal file.... I would learn how to cook for this!

Isn't this kitchen absolutely beautiful and simple?  

This is ideal... nothing over the top and just the right amount of flair. 

From the personal file... Crespi always steals my heart.

From the personal file... A perfectly styled living room

The perfect amount of layering, the perfect amount of pop, 

the perfect amount of texture. 

Stunning combination - and I absolutely love it!

Designed by Shannon Wollack  (This girl has serious style!!)

From the personal File... A Wallpapered Bedroom

Designed by Mabley Handler.  Perfection!!

From the personal file... Dream Bedroom Look.

I just saw this bedroom picture over at The Decorista and had to add this to "My personal file"

This is exactly what I want for my bedroom.... I have the headboard and white bedding, but I gotta work on the bedding and x-benches.

On my radar... Gold Flatware

I have a set of Fire King dishes... similar to the ones below.

BUT - I always feel funny using them since my flatware is stainless steel (silver) and it throws me off with the gold rim.   I have been seeing a ton of gold flatware lately and I think its so pretty.

What do you think of gold flatware?  

Here are some of my faves:

Carlton Varney for HSN (love these!)

Crate & Barrel

Neiman Marcus

Neiman Marcus  LOVE these!!!

Target

Bon Ton

From the personal file... Shine by S.H.O.

Are you familiar with Shine by S.H.O.? Well, if not - here's a quick intro.:
Susan Hornbeak Ortiz is the designer for this insanely gorgeous brand of Interior decorations including lighting, upholstery, furniture, case goods, and so much more.  It's a lifestyle brand with a serious eye for stunning and on point with trend pieces.  I am in LOVE with everything.  It has a boho, glamorous vibe to it - which is my absolute most favorite!

Here are a few images from their recent lookbook.  I die!

This is 100% ME!  Loves.

Loves!!!!

From the personal file.... Boho Glam Dreamy... Bananas!

Boho-glammed out rooms make me go bananas!!  I absolutely love the layering and how the colors have a vibrant and energetic feel.

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?

From the personal file... my dream entry way

Jocking this rug

I just came across this rug over at Rugs Direct - and LOVES it!!  

I'd love to purchase the round option for my dining room.... 

I just have a little fear with purchasing a rug online. 

 If you have purchased a rug online, I'd love to hear your experience with it.

check it out HERE from Rugs Direct.

And again... here is a pic of my dining chairs.  Part of me kind of wants to do a round flokati.... but I'm not so sure if flokati rugs are a good idea in a dining room.

From the personal file.... A gorgeous living room.

Bright, happy, cozy, intimate.

Loving this living room for so many reasons.

The chandelier is insane, the turquoise and white chairs are awesome, 

and I love the wall color with the beautiful molding and huge windows.

From the personal file... I AM IN LOVE

I recently came across these images over at Jennifer.Nicole (a fantastic blog if you haven't seen it already!) and I completely fell in love.  This is 100% the look and feel that I want and currntly trying to achieve.  Gorgeous, rich, prints, layers, grey, pops of ikat color... every detail I want.
