The olive branch

I love the look of cut tree branches inside.  The olive branch is one of my favorites with it's grey undertones.  I think I need to bring more greenery inside - I feel like I am lacking!  A large clear glass vase with them is going to look great in my bathroom.

The bathroom is on it's final days, I cannot wait for it to be finished!  Painting today and hopefully by the weekend we can use it after more than a month of work.

Also, today is the last day to enter the Lux Lampshade giveaway!!!

Vespa Love.. in greige

 

I am pretty sure this is meant for me!!!  I just saw it on Eloquence and I NEED it.  My husband said to me it won't work for our house maybe if we lived in a small town in the south of France.  I said can we move there so I can have one???

I love love it!

Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!  What is on your wish list for the holidays?? 

Don't miss our giveaway!!

Kate Spade at home

 

It is so fun to see creative people in their homes.  Kate Spade's home is really fun and whimsical.  I love the use of artwork which seems to make a statement in every space.  The colors are bold and inspiring.

What do you think?

Rose Bowl Flea Market...

So we hit the Rosebowl flea market on Sunday morning, it was a beautiful day thank goodness!  I have been really happy with this flea market so far, it is full of great vendors and fantastic pieces!  I completely fell in love with these giant vintage posters and art pieces.  Each piece is mounted on a larger canvas for easy framing and storage.  I so wanted the Louis Vuitton piece but is a little bold for me.  I would be happy to point you in the direction of this vendor if only he had had a card for me.  He is at the Rosebowl for every show unless it is raining on the isle against the fence near the entry.

Some amazing stadium lighting just in case you needed some!  The boat too- there are some really interesting pieces to be found here.

I always love the vintage trophies and coral such a fun combination!

This vendor used some of our Lanet fabric for upholstery.  So so cute I thought!

Irons and Duck so fantastic as always!

I was so excited to see Robert again.  It has been months since I have bought any of his vintage textiles.  I got some great pieces!!  I love them for upholstery and pillows.  There are some vintage pieces that I bought that I would love to reproduce (if anyone has any info on having your own fabric made I would love it).

Fred was there from Grenouille,  I picked up this vintage ledger from him!  I cannot wait to frame it up for the wall!

 Of course there were some beautiful vintage clothing pieces, I just have not given into this idea yet.  My sister says I am crazy!

 I did get this super cute little hat though.  Fun and great for a little shade on my nose!!

We were completely taken by the pieces in Mark from Create a Vision Antiques.  My sister bought one of his converted lights for her living room.  Which looked so very cool when we put it in!  I am wishing I had one too!

My Bags were so full and so heavy!  I was ready to head out before we even walked the entire show.

We did not find any dining chairs for my sister but we did get her a fantastic little curved back settee, I cannot wait to see it reupholstered and in her space.  

I hope you are having a wonderful Monday so far!!

Workspace

 

This does not seem completely practical for actual work but I like it.  The floor is amazing and the lights are very very cool!

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!
