Orange Crush: Orange Jieldé Lamps
March 2, 2010 | 33 Comments
Welcome to this month’s edition of Orange Crush brought to you by From the Right Bank and Down and Out Chic. Today, I thought I’d combine my love of orange with my love of Jieldé Lamps. I love these classic lights for their amazing quality and industrial good looks.
They come in an array of great colors but I especially love them in orange!
I think this one might actually be red but let’s just go with it:
And see it peeking out from the corner here:
How gorgeous is this room, by the way?
Don’t forget to visit Down and Out Chic today for orange wardrobe ideas for spring. And as always, if you have any requests or suggestions for this series, please let us know.

Solid Gold + Thank You
March 1, 2010 | 40 Comments
I’ve been a silver and chrome kinda gal for years now but lately I’m really feeling gold and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s lovely images like these?
I can’t believe today is March already. (I thought I had a few more days!) I’d like to thank the lovely Pam from Red Ticking and Persis from Miles of Style for passing on the Sunshine Award to me in February. I was also tagged by Mise from Pretty Far West to list five things that make me happy. I was tagged with this a while back so if you missed it the first time around, you can find it here. Thank you for thinking of me, girls!

Black And White Bedrooms
February 26, 2010 | 29 Comments
I know I’m starting to sound like a broken record with all the black and white but I just have to show you some of the bedrooms I’ve been collecting for a while:
I hope you have some fun planned for your weekend. Hubs and I are hitting the hardware store (again), moving some furniture around, unpacking some more and hopefully, I’ll also get around to organizing my office. Have a good one!

Traveling Thursday: Hotel Endsleigh, UK
February 25, 2010 | 22 Comments
Since I didn’t make it to England this month, I decided to torture myself even more with pictures of Hotel Endsleigh.
Between the decor and the setting, it could not be more charming.
Happy Traveling Thursday and bon voyage!
I Want to Live in Stockholm, in this House
February 24, 2010 | 45 Comments
Every once in a while I see a house where I like absolutely everything. This Stockholm house recently featured in Skona Hem (of course) is one such house.
It had me at the window seat. Oh, that view!
Love the rolled arm sofa, the Josef Frank pattern on the other, and the tray coffee table here:
the wallpaper, the gray door frame, and the all-white bed here:
the bedding, lantern and wallpaper here:
the sleek cabinetry, fixtures, and Missoni towels here:
and last but not least, the mill work, arches, chandelier, weathered black chest, kilim, giant lantern, and black/white/red palette here:
To me, this house is pretty much perfect and it further fuels my obsession with Scandinavian homes. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
What To Do With Bay Windows
February 23, 2010 | 31 Comments
I’ve always loved bay windows and consider myself lucky to to have a couple in our new house. One is in the living room and I kind of like them in their current bare state but I think they would also look great with big, full, white silk drapes. The other one is in the master bedroom so I’m thinking of a combination of shades/blinds to block out light in the early morning with some drapes over them. And all that got me wondering how do you hang drapes on a bay window? Here are the options I found:
1. Individual drapery rods for each window:
2. Single drapery rod across all three windows:
(These two also have me thinking about window seats again.)
3. Bay window drapery rods:
So does that about cover it? (Ha ha ha. I totally just wrote that off the top of my head.) Okay, seriously though, do any of you have bay windows and what do you have on them?

Art Wall of Black Frames
February 22, 2010 | 33 Comments
Hi, everyone, how was your weekend? My weekend in New York was great (as always) and it was just what I needed to get recharged and start tackling more boxes around here. Here’s my quick review:
Per Se – fantastic, stupendous, awesome, amazing, etc., etc., etc.
6 Columbus – meh.
In the Heights – great.
Rock of Ages – so-so.
The Drawings of Bronzino – totally inspiring.
If you want details, please feel free to ask but I’ll leave it at that so I can talk about my latest obsession. I think you all know I love a good art wall. I’ve always been partial to a mix of frames like the one I used to have in my old dining room:
But lately, I’m really drawn to walls of black frames.
I never liked black frames before because they reminded me of documents framed in generic offices. But I just love the impact that these walls of bold black frames make.
I think it also has something to do with my renewed love of black and white.
This may be another project for when/if I ever finish unpacking(!) What do you think of this look?
