pink + greek...

last night i was doing one of my favorite hobbies (ha, ha)- looking at my design magazines. it really is an obsession, a hobby, a job- whatever you want to call it, it's what i do!! this particular night i was on my house and garden (god rest their soul) collection circa jan 07'....for any of you out there who share the same hobby as me, this is the mag with chloe sevigny's house- aka. kw trellis wallpapered hallway w/ the antique bike. anyway, i don't know why i am ranting on about this but to make a long story short (i don't even know how i got a story out of this), its where i spotted these beauties...once again, my eyes are being drawn to pink and add a little greek key nail head and my heart skips a beat. way to go madeleine stuart, i now want, no need, to own two of these little beauties....

sheila bridges

i can't believe i have had a blog this long and haven't written about sheila bridges. her interiors are just amazing. her designs are all over my office- either on my corkboard or found in my notebooks. the use of color in her design is just effortless...they are always right on. i can remember seeing the silhouette ottoman for the first time and i just flipped out. it is such a modern spin on a classical art tradition- LOVE!!

loving the nail head....

i adore the nail head accents on these mirrors...i have never seen ones like that. sorry for the lack of posts...i have had a not so great week. but these mirrors in the new cottage living put a smile on my face. and get my head thinking that could be a diy project....hope y'all have a wonderful weekend.

if you need me, i'll be hanging out here....

i just ordered one of these....for a client of course. i wish it was for my bathroom! she is so beautiful.....

*found adorable dog pic on erika's blog...i was in love w/ this picture when it was in southern accents!! and it shows the tub off great!

charles edwards...

i recently found the company charles edwards (thanks domino) and boy, do they have some beautiful lights!! the company is based out of london and makes antique replicas of 19th and 20th century english and french lanterns. i emailed to company to find out more about their products because i think one of the lanterns would look fabulous on a job i am working on. the only thing that stinks is that the company is only based out of london and has no showroom representation in the states. have any of you designers out there used this company before?? i am in love with that polished nickel finish right now- can you tell??

aga range

so i was recently introduced to the appliance company AGA when i started working on a kitchen project that was using one of the ranges. the appliances arrived to the job site yesterday and the range it is super cool. it is made out of cast iron so it looks like a 1930's style stove but w/ all of the modern day entities.

sorry...

for not posting today...my daughter had her own idea of how the morning was going to work. instead of her AM nap, she decided it was time to move on to bigger and better things- standing in her crib. she was screaming several times during her nap and when i would check the monitor, she would be stuck on her knees. the last time, she made it to a full on standing position. which is great b/c she's 11 months today and needs to be doing this! i couldn't resist getting her up.
