just a dash..

 

I know it is the holiday season... I am just not quite ready to go all the way!  I adore the little touches of pink in this space.  It is refreshing and feminine.  I wish you a wonderful Tuesday my friends and maybe just maybe we can hold off the Christmasness until December 1st this year.. or maybe not.

tall.. dark.. and...

 

Sometimes you come across a board that makes your heart jump, well I do.  I am completely smitten with this one!   I love it.. and the way it let's me dream of dark and masculine spaces.

Wishing you a dreamy Tuesday day!

 

Wintery Whites..

 

I have been seeing some lovely winter whites lately.  The chair above makes my heart skip a beat!  Wishing you a wonderful weekend, as fall really starts to kick in around here we are turning up the heat and adding layers, I am very excited!

Over the next few weeks we have some great giveaways scheduled and a holiday gift guide full of goodies which I cannot wait to share with you!  I also wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who commented and emailed yesterday, it makes me feel very special to have such a great group of people who support me out there xo.!

A little grey for Monday...

 

To be honest I could have used just one more day before we hit Monday.  I know it sounds selfish but I am tired even with the extra hour.  I love this space it is so easy going, perfect for spending the day reading and relaxing.

I hope you have an easy going day!

{shop design} Joe's Jeans South Coast

 

I was working earlier this week (honestly working) and stopped for lunch in South Coast Plaza.  I was so excited to see that they had finally opened the Joe's Jeans shop.  From my lunching vantage point I was able to see there fun window display of hanging vintage items.  Loved that!

I was lucky enough to be able to chat with the sales people in the shop about design and the great look they had going on.  I cannot wait to see what they have in store for the holiday displays.  

They did a great job of mixing vintage and new and the texture in the space was so well used.  I completely loved the rainbow colored jean wall.

 

Their room within the space was created from vintage windows and doors painted in a heavy white.

botanicals..

 

These pieces are so fantastic.  It is always interesting to me how I can like so very many things.  I like some more than others but generally I like a lot of things a lot.  Does that even make sense?  I am not sure but I don't find many things in design that I just don't like at all.  

Sorry rambling here! Point is I really like these.. what about you?  I don't often see the vintage botanicals with a black matting, what a wonderful discovery these must have been.

California style {Ryan Murphy at home in Hollywood}

 

Ryan Murphy and David Miller's California home is the perfect mix of old California and new.  I love the clean lines of the kitchen mixed with the rustic table and it's wood and leather chairs. Each space seems to pull it off perfectly with a simple palette and clean white walls.

Remanants of the Past 2012 {#2}

Rusty Clover was one of my favorite booths at the show, I purchased the most amazing vintage mirror from them for my collage.  Their booth was full of all kinds of goodies, something for just about everyone.

 

Another favorite was Melissa Blue, her display was beyond amazing.  It makes me wish I could live in a place piled high with vintage and no need to use anything.  I think by far one of the best styled booths I have seen in a long time.

 It is always great to see Blue Canoe, they are a husband and wife team that do the most amazing job collecting fantastic pieces from all around.  I was excited to see that they had the Olive buckets too!

 

My newest favorite is House Wren!  I fell for the re-purposed lighting and furnishings.  I picked up a couple of fixtures for a project that I am working on.  They are so perfect I cannot wait to see them in the space.  The styling in their space was so well done and the great mix of industrial and natural pieces was perfect. 

I hope you enjoyed a little peek at the fall Remnants of the Past show.  I had a great time at the show and only wish I could have spent more time!
