Cardboard Picture Frame

I am in so in love with this cardboard picture frame. While I would normally just attempt to make one myself, this might just be a job some crafty etsy person might want to try to duplicate, maybe without a few of the extra flourishes, to keep costs down. But how wonderfully beautiful and perfect for my office!!!! YAY!!!

British Bon Bons

I fell IN LOVE with the home of Kelly Hoppen, a British designer, on Metropolitan Home site.
This dining room:

is one of my absolute favorites.
First, I am in the process of redoing my dining room...pics coming soon...
so I am obsessed with dining furniture.
Second, it is so luxe and lush and playful. The beautiful white Art Deco chairs played against the snakeskin wingback chairs. The big dark wood table. The large pendant fixture and the oversized desk lamp, to play off of the size of the pendant...work so well. The brown and white colors, mixed with the textures of the fringe, wood, skin, and leather is divine.
Just in case you didn't know...the look: Stylish Eclectic, with a blend of Historic, Contemporary, and even a little Modern design.

Makes me wanna sing: Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly....ohhhhh!

Esty World

I love etsy, it is a haven for one of a kind, handmade, goodies that will add the flair and personality to your home that you need to make it uniquely yours.

Here are a few of the things I am loving this month on Etsy for your home.
Check out etsy for other great gifts, jewelry, and clothing as well!


Monogrammed Wedding Vases by Maid of Clay!

These would make the cutest wedding or anniversary gift, or simply add your own monogram and get one for yourself...would work great as a pen/pencil holder for your office!


Micro Clay Wall Tiles by Elements of Clay

These are so stylish and unique. Add to a white wall for seamless textural interest, or to a colored wall for a stark contrast of unique wall art!
I would love love love these in my bathroom!


Felt Chair Pads by Inbound Thread

I hate regular chair pads, the kind that ties to the back of the chair. They are always moving, make you slide, and those pesky ties are always breaking off! These, however, are my kind of chair pad. First, they are made of felt...one of my favorite green materials. Second, they are slim, stylish, and ahhhhhhhhhhh...anti slip! Great!


Wire Sphere Light by Splurge
Finding a good pendant light, for an affordable price, is a task. Well, this one, you can use it as is, for a slightly rustic look...or you can cover in in the paper, fabric, or covering of your choice (make sure it is not flammable) to make a statement all your own. Personally, I like it as is...in a modern room...to play down the shiny, stark, hard lines of the furniture! But you do it your way...
