girl meets glamour

Yup...I'm headed to Nashville for a quick business trip tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to starting my day at 4 am..I've never been, so I don't know what to expect. Most likely I'll return home with a big smile on my face and a pair of crazy cowboy boots that I'll only wear after a few drinks.

Red!!!! I think that's the real reason I love fall...cause then I can start adding red back into my wardrobe. But I think the same principle could be applied to our homes too! I've been drawn to bold rooms with contrasting color, and today I thought I'd share some red and white inspiration...hope you enjoy!



Love this room all together from the Madeline Weinrib zig zag rug..to the Suzani inspired bench fabric from "Dzhambul" from Brunschwig & Fils. (Home of Krista Ewart featured in Domino, June/July '07)



Red and white polka dots...who would have thought. I am in love with the simple white drapery as well with the red trimming. (Designed by Richard Mishaan, featured in Elle Decor, June '07)


This room is head to toe hues of red, combined with a pink wall...and I love it! (Photographed by Eric Piasecki, featured in Blueprint, Sept/Oct. '07)


Glamorous never looked so comfy. Just love this home featured in the Rooms to Inspire book, designed by Martyn Lawrence-Bullard.

**It's finally fall here and my pup is eager to sneak in a walk to check out the changing scenery before my work day starts. Maybe today we could celebrate our pets for a bit...give them treats, take them to the park...or design them a bedroom for them only, outfitted with toys, beds, faux grass and all. Whatcha say?!?!**


**I just cracked up when I saw this...and I hate to say it, but if I could...I probably would for my pup. It also seconds as a literal dog house, in which your mate can use as a real threat in an argument!**


**Look at the cute little cans of dog food...and they even get a wall that separates them during feeding :)**

I say let your arrangements flourish...let them be wild and crazy, with a mind of their own! There was something about these spaces here, that attracted me beyond just the furnishings. So, coming back to them after being tagged...I realize it's the floral/twig-like arrangements that they all have in common. So, I thought I share these with you as some fall inspiration...

Well, it's hard not to spy my most favorite of wallpapers as of late, Osborne and Little's Asuka. See, I've been obsessed since falling in love with the Kate Spade ad below, and then I finally get my Elle Decor in the mail and what do I see, but the fabulous apartment of Michelle Smith and Andrew Oshrin of Milly, decked out head to toe with this same print in their Dining Room! Well, I say now that my obsession is becoming hard to control...


So, a few of weeks back, knowing that this had to be an Osborne and Little print, I emailed the Kate Spade ad into the ladies at the O & L Showroom in SF and said: "what is this, I know this is your print, can you send me one..." And they did, and like always, they are so sweet to include a few extra fabrics and trimmings with it.


I have to say, it's even better in person...perfect scale, perfect yellow...yup, I'm obsessed! Are you too, or is it just me?!?!
