Design Library: the natural home by hans blomquist

I was looking through some books over the weekend and realized that I needed to share one with you!  I picked up The Natural Home in a shop here locally one day and fell in love.  Of course the imagery is beautiful but it was the variety that really pulled me in.  There is a little something for most every taste and the mix of vintage is fantastic.   My favorite space that they explore and talk about is from Oliver Gustav.  His shop and is amazing.  

Many of the images from this book have made their rounds on the web but I love to have a book to browse through at my leisure, I have more than enough according to my husband, but you can never under estimate the power of really turning those pages and the way your mind can wander.

designers at home...

 

As all of you know there are some amazingly talented designers out there, and we would love to see them...  I mentioned before a series that I was thinking about and I am gearing up for it.  I have had some submissions already but I would always love to see more.  If you would like to share your home with us feel free to send them over as I would love to make this a regular series here on greige.

 

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?

that's just what I need..

 

After touring pools yesterday and analyzing outdoor furnishing needs for them, all I can think about is a little bit of this kind of pool use.  I think I could handle a bit of this all the way down to the wrinkly toes and fingers - you?   

What are your plans this weekend?

 

black and light..

 

I am completely loving these pics.  Totally smitten with the details in black, I think they make the spaces.  I cannot believe we are already at Friday!!  I hope you have amazing plans for the weekend or no plans at all which is pretty amazing in itself!

LA Mart Highlights

 

These are just a few of my favorites from the LA show.  I was so excited to see Eloquence with their showroom there again.  I picked up that long mirror for myself and the pendants above are the same as the pieces I bought for my kitchen remodel.  

It was a small show this time but I did get exactly what I needed in the showrooms we visited which was a good addition to going to Atlanta.
