High style finds...on Etsy!

I was so excited when I heard about Kelly's shop High Street Market a few weeks back...which features little chic vintage finds at great prices even! So I've been frequenting every so often to see what's new in store, of which I am always excited and surprised, that I thought I'd feature a few items for you to check out...

(Cute stool with KWID's giraffe print!!)

(And these George Briard glasses, there's 6 of them available)

Feeling blue...and red!

I think blue is one of the easiest colors to work with, I mean it pretty much goes with everything...but one of my all time favorite combos is pairing this color with red! One minute it's super sophisticated the next is simple and sweet. Here are some examples I found of these colors, that I thought I'd share with you...

(House Beautiful/ July '08)

How bout this combo of a cobalt blue dresser and the red painting above...

(Domino/April '08)

If only this was my office and Ruthie Sommers was my designer, love the pale blue walls and the red armoire!

(via amadteaparty blog)

Layering these colors in a tablescape can be fun too; in books, boxes, art, etc...

(Domino)

Adding other colors to the mix even works, but really they make a great pair on their own!

(California Home + Design/April '08)

Combine them together in a case piece like here, this combo sold me the moment I saw it...

(Living Etc./July '08)

For simple beauty -- red flowers against a blue way, so sweet!

(Domino/May '08)

You could even build a whole room around these colors, and it works cause I just love this little girls room!

Just playing around...

So I spend the weekend unloading boxes, breaking down boxes, painting a few chairs from ebay (below), and playing around a bit with some of my unknowns...


which is this pair of chairs that I'm still trying to figure out what fabrics I like with them...unfortunately one of the chairs has an area of torn fabric so they have to be reupholstered, I guess that's what you get when you go ebay.

So, I'm toying with keeping the chair color still a pale yellow or maybe going wild with Alan Campbell's Zig Zag print in Brown...oh, and I purchased some ikat fabric from UzbekAlive shown above too, which I think will make some great lumbar pillows...

Rugs for days...

Hot off the press...Patterson, Flynn & Martin, a boutique floorcovering company based out of New York, has just launched a new website featuring all they have to offer, in a searchable format!!
I swear this is the future, having everything accessible at the click of a mouse, no more product binders taking up library space!

I was really impressed with the website and their products of course and here's just a few that caught my eye that I thought I'd share with you...


Oh and maybe you know that Kelly Wearstler designs rugs for PFM as well, shown above is one of them called Emerald Cut...


But there are so many more to choose from and patterns that offer various colorways as well!!!

My new find...

Yup and I'm pretty fond of him thus far, and thought you ought to know! I'm thinking he is just what I needed for my house and that's probably I why I didn't bat an eye when I bought him a week ago in a little boutique.

Funny, right as I saw him I thought of blogger Courtney and her love for elephants too!


Yes, little guy, you will go perfect in the Family Room, with a few stacks of books on ya and maybe a small vase...but then maybe nothing at all, cause I'm not sure I want to cover you up!
