Precious Metals

I love Z Gallerie for their affordable furniture and fantastic accessories...I'm so excited for the new spring arrivals…especially all the silver and gold!

I adore the Sequoia Console Table...beautiful natural form and hand applied silver leaf...can it get much better than that?

I think this would be perfect in my bedroom!!!

Glamour emanates from the Hudson Floor Lamp in its shiny stainless steel.

The Axis Dining Table could be one of my top picks for my dining room table.

I think a pair of these Troy Sconces would give off the sexiest golden glow!

Fine Art Furniture...Rococo

Rococo.

I stumbled upon this unique furniture company several months ago. Each piece of furniture they sell is an amazing piece of artwork and one of a kind.

I definitely see this furniture adding a sense of modernism to a traditional setting. I love the juxtaposition of the painted fabric on a traditional French frame.

This would be so easy to duplicate at home on a worn-out piece of furniture. As long as the fabric is in good condition, it could easily be painted with fabric paint/dyes or drawn onto with permanent markers.

My favorite chair is the Chaotic Bloom chair…it’s simple but beautiful.

Hot Trend: Owl Love

I have a secret love for owls…our neighbors told us that an owl lived in the rafters of our house while it was being built and I hear him late at night from time to time. The owl symbolizes wisdom and is seen as a protector, so I have been looking for something to remind me of our friend the owl…look at these fantastic finds!

I fell in LOVE with this adorable Owl Cookie Jar at Anthropologie last weekend...and it’s in 2 of my favorite colors-turquoise & orange!

LOVE this Jonathan Adler Owl Needlepoint Pillow…

I adore everything about this print from Etsy…the pink/green color scheme, the freshness of the sketch, the patterns on the owl, and especially the book page background!

How cute is this Owl Bank?

My daughter would go crazy for it since it’s in her favorite color…ORANGE!

Beautiful photo...reminds me of Harry Potter!

Adler does it again with this streamlined Owl Sculpture. I am crazy about the contrast of textures and polished nickel!

 



Who wouldn’t LOVE this Owl Ring…so modern and sweet!



The Waiting Game

Our local Williams Sonoma Home is closing and I scored the Metropolitan Rectangle Chandelier for our foyer...I can't wait to get it home on Wednesday, it's been a month already and it's killing me!



I'll post a pic of it installed hopefully next week!

Vintage Shopping Trip

On the last day of my vacation from school, I wanted to take a quick trip to Downtown Dallas to one of my favorite vintage shops …White Elephant Antiques. They have absolutely everything from vintage modern to classic country. I was on the lookout for some mid-century modern items for the home…I found a great ottoman that I am going to recover with a fab velvet and a set of 4 upholstered  chairs for our card room in grey velvet….still debating on getting them on the account that I will eventually need to recover them.

Check out my other great finds!

I have been wanting this for a while...so beautiful!

One of my obsessions...lamps! Love these chrome beauties!

Love a touch of industrial chic

If this matched my home...it would have been all MINE!

Lacquered and reupholstered...these could be fab!

Cute set of teak nesting tables...

LOVE these lamps! Very Hollywood Regency!

Great little pair of faux bamboo side tables!

Beautiful landscape painting...but I think it was going home with someone:(

Awesome teak table!

Fabric Store Bliss

Today I ventured out shopping with my Mom to the fabric stores in search of the perfect velvet for my Louis  dining chairs. Of course, I left all my swatches at home on the entry table so I had to make a quick run to Calico Corners to get a sample of my drapery fabric, Robert Allen’s Rowlily in Jungle . Thank goodness I got the swatch! I was a bit off on the colors, but found a mango orange velvet that looks great with the chairs. I am busy staining the chairs a darker walnut/ebony finish this evening to really make the color pop!

When we were out, we stopped by Nothing Bundt Cakes off of Preston & Royal. Wow! These little cakes are awesome and can’t wait to dig in for Christmas.

We also managed to stop by the new Wisteria outlet off of Lemon across from Love Field. Being a loyal Wisteria fan, I was completely blown away! The store has got to be 20x bigger than the old location. I have my eye on several dining room tables!

Off to do some more staining!
