Brass Is Back

It is and has been all over the design world the past year...and I am LOVING all things Brass. The mix of your grandmothers antique brass flatware to a beautiful polished gold chandelier over a modern table. Intermix different colors and textures to re-create a space that has a classic and sophisticated appeal.

These are a few of my favorites as I design a home inspired by brass end tables, fixtures, and hardware. You can achieve a similar look at a low budget by hunting through the attic or rummage through a good thrift store; buff out a few years of dust and grime and give those dated pieces life again!

Detailing ...

I believe good design is in the details. Whether it's for the home, accessorizing your wardrobe, playing up your office, reading a good book, cooking a dinner for two, or throwing a celebration...Create little gems that will be remembered. These are a few beauties I'm day dreaming about that add a touch of interest to the everyday!

The Home Wish - List

To a long over-due post that my husband keeps nagging about; I decided to make a current wish-list for him! Primarily my taste applied- I  did add a few things that he would agree we need in our humble abode verses just the ever-so occurring want list...

We pretty much need a whole new Bedroom...I'll be happy with a few pieces. 
- Noir Poster Bed, Michael Weiss Night Stand, Cococozy Window Treatments,
Robert Abbey Lighting -

Our living room is pretty much the walk-way between the dining area and our bedroom.
It currently has no lighting and needs a beautiful area rug & coffee
table to anchor the space.
- Surya 8x10 Rug, Michael Weiss for Vanguard end table, some new coffee table books,
and lastly...A record player -

To the non-existing Dining room...where everything is missing.
- Robert Abbey pendant chandelier, 40"Rd. table from Noir, Vera Wang dishware,
linen upholstered chairs, Surya Rug -

The room that is meshed together where everything happens. The Kitchen/Office.
- Chrome counter stools (which we just purchased), Surya Runner, Robert Abbey Pendants, 
A small server, Noir metal desk, New desktop computer, Acrylic chair,
and of course... a juicer -
