Pottery Barn for the Holiday

When do you start decorating for the holidays? I would probably start before Thanksgiving if I didn't have the voice of reason (i.e. Derrick) reeling in the crazy. I'm loving Pottery Barn for Christmas this year, everything looks festive and sparkly (all the things I love).

Thanksgiving Rustic Elegance

I got the idea from Em of Hip Hip Gin Gin and her posting of a woodsy glitzy style. I loved her collection of items but thought I would substitute a few to my own liking. I think Thanksgiving is a good vessel for a rustic styled dinner party and who doesn't like dressing up for the occasion. I loved the dinnerware with the tree ring motif and hey I'm for anything with a little gold sparkle.

Gorgeous Kitchen: decoded

This Kitchen is beautiful but something that is quite achievable. What makes this kitchen look as good as it does, is the color scheme. The bold black and white pallet really play up the orange light fixtures. With time honored fixtures and tiles, it is a classic look with a pop of color.

Office Inspiration: White and Gold

I stumbled on this image of Aerin Lauder in her office and I am in love. What a great place to work with that clean and sophisticated white and gold desk; and as such, I decided to recreate it.

Porter Design Company

Those who read Adore Magazine have probably seen these but I stumbled across Porter Design Company over the weekend and loved their portfolio. The have the perfect mix of color and drama with fun patterns and grownup spaces. Love!

Punch Buggy

I have been perusing the easy shop of the talented Laura Trevey lately and I think these prints would make a charming addition to a play room or study. I love the bold punch of color with the simplicity of the subject, and who doesn't love an old VW.

Happy Friday

Happy friday all. Hope you have fun plans for the weekend, D and I are planning to keep it pretty lo-key this weekend. I plan on putting some shelves together and hanging a rack for my belts (oh man the excitement, contain yourselves all).

Here is the weekend roundup from around the web:

Holiday Extravagance

I came across these tiny tarts by Früute in west hollywood on Express-o and Oh Joy had to see for myself. You simply order the amount and flavors you want, and they ship them right to your door. They would make a fabulous addition to that holiday cocktail party and you didn't do any of the work.

Closeted

I love the idea of subtle drama. These beautiful wallpapers are tucked away in a closet that can easily be closed to hide the luxury inside. I think this is a great idea for those who love wallpaper but cringe at the idea of actually having it up. I love the first two pictures.  Adding this to my inspiration board.

Say Something Nice

I found this video on COLOR ME KATIE and thought I would share. Have a good weekend all.

A Belgium Mansion

I stumbled across this Belgium mansion on COCOCOZY. The home was renovated by two antique dealers to house their collection of flea market finds. The living room is a former barn that was converted and remodeled to include that massive fireplace. It has a muted color pallet through out with beautiful vintage and antique elements making it feel lived in.  

Rendering: Store Front Stripes

I found this image around the net {probably on pinterest} and just had to render it. I don't know if its the black and white striped awning, or the brick with the planters, but this looked so charming.

Paper

I wanted to share this amazing portrait by Yulia Brodskaya, an illustrator and graphic designer out of the UK. I have posted before on her incredible talent here and am still blown away by here technique. This talented artist has worked with the likes of Neiman Marcus, Hermes, Nokia, and Starbucks just to name a few. It takes time and skill to do what shed does, for witch I am envious.

Roost

Roost is this fabulous food blog with amazing photography and dreamy locations. It makes me want to live someplace rustic with charm and make fabulous food for all my friends.

 

Happy November

Autumn is my favorite, with the changing leaves and the cozy sweaters, I just love it. Here is a bit of fall inspiration.
