Kitchen Art

I'm loving my new prints from 20x200. They are limited editions by artist Jane Mount; she paints peoples' ideal bookshelves, and I picked two of her cookbook series for the kitchen. I put them in the Lily Frame from Pottery Barn.

Age Appropriate

 

I love how naturally beautiful this woman is. She looks her age (no insult intended), but is gorgeous and stylish. As posted by Scott at The Sartorialist.

Restore Me

Have you gotten the GIANT spring Restoration Hardware catalogue? Its overall feel is a little too neutral for my taste, even though I really dig Gustavian. But, there are definitely many pieces I can pick out and picture in rooms with a little more color; my style! This chair is beautiful; traditional but with the surprise of those curvy legs. And I love the look of using two different fabrics.

I've had a thing for quartrefoils recently -- this mirror is to die for.

The 17th Century Monastery Table has me thinking about refinishing the trestle table we inherited from my in-laws...

I've never seen wine bottles stored on their sides like this. This piece would MAKE a room.

 Reclaimed wood planters. Sigh.

They have baby furniture now! Love how the cribs convert to beautiful toddler beds.

Cast resin deer head. I don't know why I love these, but I do!

Happy Spring!

Beauty and the Beast

I'm not being very nice, but is this not the most hideous model you've ever seen? Maybe it's just a bad pic, but oof! On the other hand, the Valentino she's wearing is amazing! Via The Sartorialist.

Sole Society

Gilt Group has launched a new shoe-specific shopping site (how alliterative!) called "Sole Society." When you join, you take a brief style quiz so they can get a feel for your fashion profile -- mine was dead-on! Within 24 hours you can access your own shoe closet, tailored to your tastes. Six pairs of shoes will be available to you, each costing $49.95.  If you aren't happy with the selections, you can choose to put them back into inventory and new choices will be made for you. New members are given a discount of $10 off the first pair: pretty sweet!

I liked 5 of my 6 choices and am going to buy the cork-platform sandals with my discount. Join here and start shopping your own closet!

Oooooo so pretty! Rings by Pomellato.
