its pretty much perfect. great colors to work with, great pattern to hide the wear and tear of kids and dogs, durable fabric, great lines. beautiful details. looks so cozy! the last picture shows how richly textured and colored the textile is - the pattern could go nordic or look more southwestern (dare i use the term). this sofa is one of those great pieces that makes a statement without screaming it. very easy to work an entire scheme around it, or it set in down in neutrals of wintry whites. there aer so many colors to pull from - my favorite is the orange. it'd really be perfect in my living room. santa, do you hear me?!<br />
<br />
i could work this into just about room. check back for an inspiration board featuring my newest love, Andreas.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16274504158762822962noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407827456347359964.post-77069777800190956952012-10-08T07:44:00.000-07:002012-10-08T07:44:51.366-07:00instantly hooked.i needed something really beautiful for inspiration on this grey day so i (naturally) popped onto anthro. they did not disappoint. but i can't be too frivolous with my time (blog hopping), preschool is only 3 hours, and so i have to spend time wisely too, aka: shopping.<br />
<br />
i am in need of a few hooks for our the legions of jackets, hoodies and totes. as i scrolled down the page, my heart stopped, eyes widened and i frantically clicked to open a larger picture. yes. we have a winner.<br />

how truly pretty it is had my mind in a tizzy: all of the places i need something to hang coats, towels, keys, tote bags for school....<br />
but no. its not just an anywhere thing.<br />
i think less is more in the case of this particular piece; too many will take away how special it is. <br />
<br />
my mind was still racing of places to hang this little beauty. and of course, a little jewel box of a powder room would be perfection! or anywhere that <strike>needs</strike> demands a dash of gorgeous. <br />
<br />
then i looked at the price. ouch. <br />
<br />
back to reality. <br />
<br />
i am now considering either of these for the entry - a few of each to make our "stuff" look pretty:<br />

<br />
i see the antler melody hook (1s of 2) on really richly colored walls or on wood panels that have been lime washed. and the whirled metal would be really gorgeous on a soft pink wall, or a really creamy white but equally right on a chalky grey. or anywhere really. <br />

these would be entirely cool in an entry way too - for shoes, umbrellas - a whole village of storage <br />
(for a more minimalist look, choose all white). <br />
<br />
designed and made in holland with FSC certified MDF and non toxic paints, 3 gable choices and 12 color choices. three next to each other would be fantastic, but in the case of these, the more the merrier (and it's storage, who doesn't need extra storage). <br />
<br />
i am a tad overexcited about these and am envisioning endless possibilities of where they could be used. chic, fun, fresh, functional - all my favorite things wrapped into one great design.<br />

<br />
i've had free time..... and as per usual, i've been moving furniture and rugs around. if not for being a designer, i swear i could be employed by a moving company. <br />
<br />
i inherited a rug - well, my Auntie did and i had to have it, so i asked, and she so kindly handed it over. its not really my color scheme - i rarely decorate with red in our personal space. i like red, its just i like pink more. but i knew this rug was something i had to have. <br />
<br />
in my Ma-Ma's house, it was anchored by chintz sofas, striped drapes - it was a traditional room, but had pops of fun. the rug was unexpected and such a "wow" moment. maybe that's why i love it so.<br />
<br />

first as the dining room rug. but once the high chair was moved into the dining room and my sweet, darling girl was throwing food down from her plate, i had to move it. so, upstairs into my bedroom it went. <br />

i loved in our bedroom. i loved it with the purple and with the touches of turquoise. its soft under foot and i thought the graphic statement was awesome. but i didn't love the layout of the room, so i moved the bed, and consequently, moved the rug.<br />

and now its back downstairs, but in the living room, layered over my diamond and white rug from dash and albert. and i love it, love how it ties the colors in the room together. <br />
<br />
in true Natalie form, these 3 rooms have been through <em>many </em>changes since we moved here 3 years ago. and they will continue to change.<br />
<br />
in my next post, i'll go through the changes the living room has seen, and what i'd like to see change.Nataliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16274504158762822962noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2407827456347359964.post-87091247075415190312012-03-27T11:51:00.000-07:002012-03-27T11:51:13.107-07:00romance is not dead<div style="text-align: center;">i thoroughly enjoy frilly. here are some images that spoke me this week.... pure romance. </div><br />

<br />
i've spotted a few things worth a looksee over at world market. even though i don't have the room for it, if someone (ahem, anyone) bought this for me, i would most certainly find a place, and quickly. i love the lines and of course the fabric...<br />

i think they did a really great job with the details, like the welting and the legs. i would (of course) liked to see some color in the fabric, but overall, i like the effect. and yes, i am, and always have been a little crazy for block print. my new sheers are block prints and i await anxiously for them - once they arrive, i'll post a pic. <br />

also love the slip cover, which is sold separately from the chair(!!!!). with a rough hewn wood table, a dhurrie or one of those great dash and albert indoor/outdoor striped rugs that i've posted about, it would be so much fun. wide stripe would be best.<br />

</tbody></table>when i first saw this room, i was drawn to it.... it hit me on many levels: colors, layers, patterns, symmetry, subtle differences, repetition of shape, details and relief.... i say "relief" because the eye does need to rest - the art gives the room the relief it needs from all of the other patterns all while complimenting the colors and shapes. <br />
<br />
the chaise and/or slipcovers from world market easily lend itself to a look like this (or it could go rustic minimal with charcoal or chalky white walls, rough woods, slate and beams). <br />
<br />
either way, i love it!<br />

<br />
the gold balls have tiny holes in them, making for a really beautiful illumination. and since it is an etsy artist, you can totally work with him to custom this piece. i see it used in a room with lacquered walls in a moody color (think: inky blue, aubergine or an essex green).<br />

<br />
yellow can help add light to an otherwise dark room. it can add some fun to an otherwise serious room or it can punch up the colors around it. yellow can be a neutral or the perfect accent. i love yellow.<br />

new orleans based designers and arisans create these unique lights.<br />

artsy, whimsical, ecclectic and a bit eccentric. and seriously styling. lots of details and so very well done. i love these and go straight to flambeau whenever i need a spot of glamour or a standout piece.<br />

however, i do look to Crate & Barrel, West Elm and PB for everyday items and am usually pleasantly surprised by CB and West Elm. PB has some nice sideboards and armoires as of late.<br />

<br />
the upper cabinets, unless they are part of a huge wall with no counter space in between, can wind up looking heavy and restrictive. i would love to see more art in the kitchen. i like this chalkboard fad - that can be good (and practical). its nice to see menus from favorite restaurants, or special gatherings (and inspirational for those of us who dread that "what is for dinner" question). and i can't get with open shelves, although i do like the way they look when done right.<br />
<br />
a few good examples of this look, and how to do this effectively, below.<br />

</tbody></table>all makes perfect sense. and while we are at kitchens, one of the most favorite kitchens i have ever been in (outside the ones of my youth that conjure up sicilian gravy on the stove, or krumkrakkars) was a little galley kitchen overflowing with furniture, including a sofa. it was lovely. the house was not open concept, and we all know that everyone winds up congregating in the kitchen. cindy put a sofa in her petite kitchen and hours were spent laughing, reading or drinking - most likely a combination of the 3. and now that open concept spaces are becoming more common, i think i will work with it and still find that sweet spot for a sofa.

<br />
as a kid, inevitably, i had a stomach ache or some such ailment that i hoped would prevent the weekend from ending. it never really worked, time marched on and monday morning came early. these days i don't have any homework waiting to be finished, but nonetheless i'm still not ready for the week to begin. <br />
<br />
but what does that have to do with bellahëm?<br />
<br />
i thought it would be fun to have a sunday tradition devoted to color - a sort of fun way to end the weekend and some inspiration to cure those monday morning... blues.<br />
<br />
here goes...<br />
<br />
PINK. a favorite color. a grown up color with a wink. <br />

<br />
ana candles - the colors are amazing! this pic doesn't even do them justice. pop onto <a href="http://www.fivestripes.com/">www.fivestripes.com</a> - get a few extra and keep them around for hostess gifts - a package of all different stripes tied up with a pretty ribbon would be heaven.<br />

all other ornaments will be redirected other places. <br />
