Set in style//part 2//series
Inspire your interiors with the series that inspire you – I know, after watching the stylings of Suits and the likes, I most definitely should have been a lawyer. And, after watching Victoria’s reign of power in Revenge, it’s certain (not that it wasn’t) marrying for money only gets you… an awesome house… kidding.
Chandeliers & lamps for ladies
I once decided to apply for architecture – one of the tasks was to design a lamp, so off I went and drew inspiration from where ever would yield it. It had to display signs of a future architect, so needed to light up, if you will, the design critics heart. Some of my inspiration [...]
Won’t you Charleston with me?
In light of what was and what is going to be – that is the 1920s era and the soon to be released, new edition of the Great Gatsby – art deco will be the interior inspiration for the purpose of this post… From the flapper inspired Crawley dress sense in Downton Abbey to the [...]
Here comes the season change. Aaand, bless you.
With winter jackets, comes a pocket stuffed with tissues. For some, allergies get you stared down by passers-by… But for others, they have to stop themselves from handing, a victim of allergies, a tissue when you see them all bright nosed and bushy eyed, if you will… So, how to avoid being that victim and [...]
The three R’s
Reuse, reduce and recycle. Since we’re in the shadow of yesterday’s Earth Day – we thought to ascribe today’s post to matters concerning the mother of our world. Home recycling – while it may require a trivial amount of time upfront – it certainly offers substantial benefits to the homeowner not to mention to mother [...]
Get a kindle, they say… It will be fun, they say…
Bookshelves with books on ’em – oh, what a feat! I suppose it’s expected, nowadays, that on a bookshelf you’ll find some pots, some souvenirs and one kindle. Get a kindle, it’ll save the trees, they say… I’ll have you know, and I’ve done the research – the trees books are made of are specially [...]
Pattern on, in and all over print
When it comes to pattern and print… I can’t get no! satisfaction! For the most part, clashing patterns and universe forbid, denim-on-denim in fashion, always illicits the up-then-down glance from passer’s by, but in décor – I don’t mind it in the least. Allow me to challenge the norm for the purpose of this post… [...]
Brass has made a comeback for 2013, they say…
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, brass happens to be one of those timeless accents for any home. Maybe I’m biased, but everyone loves a good brass or gold piece, when it’s done well, hey? No thanks to those that have ruined the image of brass and gold in some of your eyes because of the [...]
Mix-and-match
Makes a patch look like less of one. While the old school of thought followed having a set of crockery for various occasions, it seems that décor is taking a different stance. Mixing-and-Matching kitchen wear makes for a more eclectic look and feel and if a plate is broken, in true greek style or no, [...]
Mirror mirror on the wall
Whose home is the most stylish of them all? Why, the most stylish people of course… I thought we’d take a look at the ultimate influenced-by-fashion homes, those are the homes of the fashion influencers, get where I’m going? If they’re making it in fashion, they’re making it in interior design. We think so… Here’s a [...]
