Before and After: Living Room

I'm moving to a new apartment in a few short weeks but somehow through all the chaos of the past 11.5 months I managed to make a cozy little home in my first ever Bach Pad.

All pieces acquired and available via Empiric.

Except Little Man....

Before and After: 8 Arm Chandelier

The shades on this great chandelier were anything but. At the moment of discontinue a light bulb went off.... literally.

Best of Lonny's Fall Issue (Celebrating 2 years!)

I'm finally putting the finishing touches on my new place and departing a bit from the modern aesthetic I purvey. Indian, Ace Hotel, Earthy, Awesome. I spent early Sunday morning lurking around the new issue of Lonny where I spied a couple pieces that would fit in perfectly. Such as;

The Altamura Armchair by Casamidy.

Lonny featured it in black on black but I love the orange powder coated frame, brown leather, and olive green cushions shown here. Yum-Yum. 2 please.

I am also going gaga for flatweaves. I have a custom one on its way for my living room but wish I had seen these guys a bit sooner for inspiration (because they ain't cheap!).

Available at Medicine Man Gallery. These ones too.....

aren't they pretty?

Who hasn't been counting down the days until Target launches the Missoni collection (less than 24 hours people!!)??? Im dying over the clothes (and makeup, and scarves, and shoes...) but need the housewares too. Love these trays....

Fashionista.com posted the lookbook here.

 

 I'm really feeling the Oly bust...

I am the proud owner of a monogrammed Fez hat (story to follow someday) that I do display.... just not this prominently. Maybe I should rethink that. 

There are more goodies but I have to get back to work. I did buy the most epic set of Moroccan woven drapes yesterday that are going to change my living room and my life. Pretty sure the purchase was inspired by this issue. Or the Pasadena heat after hours wandering Rose Bowl. Fingy's crossed the final product is as pretty as I am imagining. Will share pictures as soon as they're up.

Introducing.... The 5175 Rossmore Headboard

Hi gang, long time no post. I've been in a bit of transition but all good comes from change... Case in point, meet the Rossmore headboard. I recently moved into a little one bedroom apt and designing my own space made me realize what we weren't offering that a lady such as myself really needs. This bitchin' piece of furniture! Check it here.

I am loving the spaces designed by Kevin Dumais and not just because we share an affinity for collage walls and nautical flair.

Punahoa Penthouse

Last weeks trip to Maui was business with a side of pleasure. The pleasure for me being phase 1 of a remodel for our property there.

Love him!

The big project was in the bedroom closet but unfortunately it wasn't complete before we left the island.

The other work will take place over the course of the next year so I placated myself in the meantime with some surface upgrades.

Shoji doors original to the unit

New linens and lamps....

I love this collage wall. Do you recognize the print in the top right corner? We scanned and enlarged a fabric favorite.....
