Twin-spiration!
- Posted by Emily lamarque
I feel like I don't see a lot of rooms with twin beds these days, but I love the boutique vibe they give and they can be so fun and playful!
More coral colored walls to love (from Anne Coyle), and the organic patterned bedspreads add just the right touch...
Ooh, jumbo strawberries! By Sister Parish with Albert Hadley...
The perfect guest nook (by Michael Maher)....
I love how these two twin headboards were combined to make a king size bed. And the upholstered gold frame is so striking against the royal blue graphic background.
Another headboard made from a hainpainted Venetian daybed (by designer Muffie Faith). Love it!

Super chic symmetry...

Isn't this dressing table designed by Mimi Williams just the epitome of glamour? The mirror, the crystal, the pearls, the antique rollback chair. I love photographs stuck into the side of frames. Modern, not so much, but luxurious, dramatic and chic? Absolutely! It makes me wonder just what life might be like if this was mine....

A friend introduced me to David Wiseman's nature inspired ceilings a while back and I just love his beautiful installations. I am so excited that his collection keeps expanding. Also check out his works in bronze and crystal on his website - amazing and definitely worth a looksy!
Beautiful Vases
- Posted by Emily lamarque
I found this vignette in my files and I just love it. The ivory color of the porcelain looks lovely against the coral background, and the vases and collectibles create a beautiful arrangement that create a sense of timelessness.
CoucouMadame's shop on Etsy (by way of Decor8) has some beautiful vintage German porcelain vases and jars that would contribute to a lovely arrangement like this one.

Contradiction...
- Posted by Emily lamarque
This vignette appears on the cover of the April/May '09 issue of Western Interiors and it grabbed my attention. I wouldn't say I'm particularly crazy about the 1960's Al Held artwork, the antique Louis XIV settee, or the rug from Creative Flooring Resources, however the composition really caught my eye. I think it is a stunning shot and a well crafted vignette because in all of its simplicity it creates drama and elegance with two main pieces that completely contradict each other and the pointed arch frames it beautifully. The mid-century artwork and the gilded settee play off one another and I think it makes the composition work. I will admit - I do love the pillow made from an 18th century Aubusson remnant. The yellow is perfect.
What do you think? Does the contradiction work?
Hail to the Queen

I first saw Ann Carrington's needlework art in the November 2007 House and Garden mag (so sad they closed their doors) featuring Gweneth Paltrow's Hamptons home and I just fell in love. I am completely obsessed with buttons, especially when they are used in unique and creative ways, and I just love Carrington's tongue-in-cheek ode to the Kingdom.
Make it personal...

I absolutely love finding great stationery, and when it's completely customizable it's that much better. So you can imagine how I just about jumped out of my chair when I discovered Iomoi's great selection of stationery, labels, paperweights, coasters, and trays. What better way to leave a great lasting impression than chic personalized stationery? Plus they make perfect gifts...
New from The Rug Company

The Rug Company has no shortage of colorful rugs in beautiful designs that always make me just a little bit happier. They've just introduced two more from designer Matthew Williamson, inspired by none other than peacock feathers. How fabulous is that!!
Another great find...

I came across Hwang Bishop, an amazing lighting and furniture atelier in Rhode Island, on Shelter's blog (which I also love by the way). I cannot wait to use some of these lamps and side tables in a project! Here are some faves...
