Pretty Lights
So I’m looking around for a light fixture to replace my Murano. (I swear I’m over it, not that you’d know it by the way I’ve been going on about it.) However, it did occur to me that I never showed you the what it looked like after it fell:
Imagine a thousand more glass pieces [...]
Framed Hermès Scarf
When my mother came to visit last month, she saw this Hermès scarf in my closet and she suggested that I get it framed:
Some girlfriends gave it to me as a birthday gift just before we moved from Paris. They knew I had had my eye on this design – it’s a sketch of an [...]
Abigail Ahern
I think most of you know how fabulous stylist and designer Abigail Ahern is. On the off chance you don’t, NKP at Head Over Heels had a great post on her work a couple of months ago. And more recently, so did Jenny at My Favorite and My Best.
Of all the spaces she’s designed for herself and [...]
Today’s Crush: Suzani Tray
So I think the entire design blogging world is slowly coming down off of our collective Lonny high. I thought it was a pretty fantastic issue. I just wish it could be in print so I could touch it and feel it and have my way with it. Since everyone’s been talking about it, I’d [...]
Arrivederci, Dear Murano
We had a little mishap in the Right Bank household this weekend that I just have to share with you. We came home Sunday afternoon after a fun day out with our guests and found my beloved antique Murano chandelier on the floor shattered into a million pieces. We’re still trying to figure out how [...]
Black Chandeliers
My love for chandeliers is not a big secret, nor is my penchant for black. So it’s only logical that I’m madly in love with these beauties:
And to me, the mother of all black chandeliers is this one at Maison de Baccarat which I wrote about before:
Off the topic but if you go to Paris [...]
New John Robshaw Pillow
Please say hello to my new John Robshaw Handpainted Fort Pillow. I don’t know if you’re like me but when I buy three pillows in one week, I feel the need to justify the purchase so here goes.
First, I love John Robshaw.
Second, I love drawings.
Third, I love anything handpainted.
Fourth, this fort reminds me of the [...]
French Settees And Colorful Pillows
In the past week, I’ve bought three new pillows. I’m out of control. Soon there won’t be any room in our house for any inhabitants. It’ll just be a house filled with pillows. But I just can’t help myself. Pretty pillows, especially on French settees, make me weak in the knees.
And who does that look [...]
My Swedish Love: Josef Frank
It all started innocently enough with these window shades. Since then, I’ve fallen madly in love with Josef Frank.
I think his patterns are just magical.
And look how well one piece can work in a white space.
And hey, would you look at that, a black and white striped rug like mine:
(I think the owner of this [...]
Wall Decal?
Thanks to Hooked On Houses, I won a gift certificate a while back for a wall decal. I’m not sure I have a place for one but I thought this one was kind of fun. (Naturally.)
There’s also this one which could potentially work on one wall in the guest bathroom which is kind of long [...]
Tord Boontje Curtains
I’ve been sitting on a pair of black Tord Boontje curtains like this one for a while now and am trying to figure out where to put them. Here are a few examples I’ve found that I like:
I like the idea of using them as a room divider but with the dogs, I don’t think [...]
Manhattan: A Poster And Also Where I’m Headed
I’m not normally into prints but the Manhattan Poster by Jim Datz from Three Potato Four is hard for me to resist. I think I’m really drawn to it because being a vagabond, New York is the closest thing to a “home” that I have. It’s the city I lived in the longest, the one [...]
Mini Twiggy?
Is that a mini Twiggy I see? I got all excited when I saw this but then I did a little research. It is a small version of my coveted floor lamp but unfortunately it doesn’t come at a mini price. At close to $700, it makes the floor lamp at $2000 seem not so [...]
Mirror Migration
The white mirror has migrated from the dining room to the bedroom. I’m digging it. (Sometimes I think the bed looks better when it’s not made. And sometimes I’m just lazy.)
There’s Zebra Stripes Then There’s Zebra AND Stripes
I know there’s intense debate about the zebra rug and even though it’s totally ubiquitous now, I have to say I’m still pretty fond of it. Ours was a housewarming gift from my parents and my only wish is that they hadn’t spent so much on it. You can get these suckers for so much [...]
Drum Decor
Can someone please tell me what’s up with this drum? Remember this post with the same (or another?) drum? Is this the same house? Is it the same drum? How many of these drums are there? Where’s it going to turn up next? [Okay, I've re-read this post a few times and the word "drum" has now [...]
Twiggy (The Lamp, Not The Model)
Apparently it’s lamp day here at From the Right Bank. I first saw the Twiggy Floor Lamp a few months ago and instantly fell in love. But I moved along because I need another lamp like I need another pair of shoes which, if you haven’t seen my closet, is to say not at all. [...]
Does Anyone Know Who Makes This Lamp?
Because I want it, I want it, I want it!

Today's Crush: Bono Mugs
I’ve been debating the purchase of these mugs for like ever. I really have no more room for any more mugs. But aren’t they so cute? I don’t know who I think I’m kidding – I know I’m going to get them so I should just do it, right?

Branching Up And Out
When I saw this at Me Melodia:
it immediately made me think of this:
and this:
and they all make me want to go scavenging for giant branches.

Pops Of Bright Color
With spring here (at least according to the calendar), I’m in the mood for pops of color.
The bright cushions and artwork against all these neutral backdrops are just perfect in my book.

An Artful House
This entire house is stunning but what really caught my eye is the collections of art in all the rooms. There are few things I love more than a house full of art.
I also love that the art walls in each of the rooms has a different style.
We’ve been collecting slowly over the years but [...]
Today's Crush: Marimekko
I’ve always liked Marimekko but have you seen the latest collection? The colors! The patterns! I want it all.
I’m off to order some goodies right now. :)

Black & White Striped Rug
Remember that B&W striped rug I was talking about last week? Well, here is another similar or same striped rug in an entirely different room and it looks just as fantastic. So I’m convinced. I need this rug. (Katja: if you’re reading this, have you decided yet?) This is part of the Hooked on Houses blog [...]
Today’s Crush: Patterned Window Shades
I never considered patterned shades for my house before but I spotted these at Skona Hem today and completely fell for them.
What a great way to introduce a punch of color to a white room, especially when the patterns are as gorgeous as these. Do any of you have patterned shades in your home? This [...]
Stripe Happy
I’ve always loved stripes – I tend to wear a lot of it – and my current obsession is striped rugs:
I love the flowered border on this one:
It’s not that I need another rug at the moment but I’m always on the lookout for cool rugs because I like to switch them out when the [...]
Things I Really Don't Need But Like (Budget Edition)
It’s almost certain that if I like something, it ain’t cheap. I’ve just accepted it because I’m also a big believer in “you get what you pay for.” So it’s always a shock when I fall for something then learn that it’s actually reasonably priced. Here are some things I’m liking lately:
I love cb2’s Bauhaus [...]
Mirrors, Mirrors On the Wall
The other thing I bought last weekend was this white Rococo-esque mirror. I definitely didn’t need another mirror and had no idea where I was going to put it but I have a thing for mirrors so here it is. I also have this white rectangular mirror which we hung in the guest room a [...]
New Candelabra
There was a sample sale at the Seattle Design Center on Saturday and I picked up a couple of things, including a white candelabra. Then I saw this photo on Desire to Inspire with the same candelabra. I think whoever styled this photo and I are kindred spirits. I just love the combination of materials, textures [...]
