born in 1940, well loved in 2011

outdoor furniture - there is so much to love.  modern and sleek, warm worn wood tones, bright colors, great textures...  it can be hard to choose a look.  Walter Lamb has got my attention with these sexy lounge chairs, and well, the whole line, because it's just too pretty not to share (seat and seat backs are woven)

 the black/brass combination is swoon worthy (which is exactly what i'm doing right now)

and the dining table (don't  miss the rectangular dining table and the side table) - the geometric top need not a table cloth, let the glass shine and be sure to get some gorgeous place settings.

don't think i'll ever get tired of looking at these.

i'm back!

ohhkay, after a crazy month, i'm back with some goodies....... 

i love the coast, but i'm not much of a coastal accessory type person (though I love the people who are and who do it so well).  these however, are too cute!  would love to see them used in powder room or on a desk as a catch all.

and these frames would be so much fun going up a set of stairs or to greet you at a landing - there are different sizes and colors.  what i'm really loving is how they hang from a ribbon and that you'll get to have some fun picking out what they hang from.  lots of cute options:

ikat ikat ikat - it's still out there.... everywhere!  here's a pretty take on it as a lamp shade (i'd keep the base simple and let the shade speak for itself):

 have a dead corner in your home somewhere - need to add height, a pop of color, a bit of whimsy..... this mobile is cute without being cutesy.  i'm thinking about using it in front of a big window to add some visual interest

oh my oh my oh my, SO MUCH FUN!  all the colors - can totally see these.... anywhere!  love the organic shape and the bright colors!  From the super formal (what a great interruption of elegance) to the super mod, these cubes are sure to delight and add a punch of fun!  i'm pretty excited about them, if you couldn't tell.....
