Grey bookcases..

 

I have been studying up on grey storage pieces lately for the kitchen and family room.  I came across this piece which I don't think I have shared.  Love this.  I am not sure what it is that makes it seem so right, the monochromatic feel of the books that are slightly askew?

entertaining ideas

 

Last weekend's dinner got me thinking... there are a lot of great entertaining ideas out there that I think we should be sharing.  What do you think?  Do you have some tips that make your dinners and brunches with family and friends just that little bit more special or just down right perfect?  

Do you want to share them with us?

someone pointed out that those are the bodega glasses in persimmon on the table- some of my favorites!

 

 

Lucite love...

 

I have completely fallen for Lucite.  I love the odd piece or two mixed in with traditional or transitional spaces.  It is just that little bit of fun that some spaces need.  I recently bought myself the lucite cube that we started selling and I love it, even if it is a bit different than my norm.  Do you have the lucite bug?

Light in the Dining room

 

The natural light in this space is pretty amazing.  Those are the chairs that I keep seeing around too just in a lighter finish... might have to find me a few of those!

Wishing you a wonderful Sunday!

modern greige

 

We can all use a little modern once in a while and in my opinion this one is very fine!  I love the clean lines and the cocktail table is fantastic!

Unique dining chairs

How completely wonderful are these dining chairs??  I just love everything about them!  Tomorrow we will be going to Rose Bowl to search out some new dining chairs for my sister.  Our hopes are high that we could find something this amazing. 

I am also excited to pick up the custom lights that I had made from Cleveland Art while I am there!  I cannot wait to put them in the bathroom, they will be like the finishing touch hopefully late next week!

An affair with a chair

How great would life be to seat a glamourous life? To be looked upon as a curvy and alluring creature that is admired, swooned and coveted? Oh and it provides comfort and encourages conversation. I adore chairs, almost as much as I love candy. Here are some of my favorite finds:
