Midcentury Barstool
3:26 PM
Unknown
We are loving this new barstool from Nuevo Living. It would be a perfect for a mid-century home, don't you think? Simple, clean-lined. Totally modern.
The barstool comes in 26" height with a 12"5 footrest. The leather shown here is black but it is also available in white and brown as well. The price is $450/stool.

Work in Progress!
10:28 PM

My Powder RoomHas anybody noticed the changes in my blog? Of course you have haha...it is wider, bigger and more colourful. I am coming up to my 100th post and have been reflecting on how my small decorating blog has 'travelled' over the last year. There have been weeks where I have posted almost everyday but then months have gone by and not a single, solitary word...I shall call this 'what on earth am I going to write about that will be remotely interesting'!!!
Anyway, what started me thinking about my own blog, was after reading an article on this subject by Maria from Colour Me happy Not only a great post to read but also the comments from other bloggers are very helpful and insightful. Here is the link...
Well, I am listening and learning so after much mucking around with codes (I cant believe that I actually learnt how to change my template by changing the html code format) I found a much easier way. Phew!!! and managed to do it without deleting my whole blog like I almost did when changing the code thingie.
So...this will be a work in progress project. Fine tuning the colour format and working out why I have all this empty white space next to my header picture!

Decorating with Pink
6:05 PM
Unknown
We're crazy about the color pink. Not for clothes, because unless you are five, pink clothes just seem silly. And don't even get us started on those pink Juicy Couture sweatsuits...
We love pink decor though.
Unfortunately, we are unable to indulge in our favorite color, mainly because there is a man in the house and he won't allow it. But one can dream, right?
Here are some inspirations for you...
Have a great day, everyone!

Luxury Silk Flowers
1:36 PM

It's raining dogs and cats here in Los Angeles today. We never had a storm like this before. You'd think we're in Seattle!
When it's rainy and gray we find ourselves just craving colors (or a hot pot of soup). Just something to cheer us up!
The best way to add colors is via accessories, as you know. That or you have to change the paint, the uphosltery, the drapes blah blah blah. Who has the time and the money?
We found this new line of silk flowers that we just love so much. They are made for very high-end, upscale hotels but it's available commercially too. They look totally expensive (but they are really not).
Check them out:
We'll be loading these up in our silk flowers section this weekend so please check back then. Thanks.

Modern Plants

There are certain things that just instantly make your home look dated, you know? For example, fake plants that look fake, like the god- awful ivy plants that you see at Michaels?
We saw some modern plants that we think you'll really like. They're totally chic, and the best part is, they look so incredibly real too.
Here are few:
These will be posted on our modern plants section by the weekend or so.

Have you seen the latest wallcovering collection from Lee Jofa? It's so pretty, we can't stand it. It was actually introduced last year but we never got around to write about it. You should definitely check it out.
The Thread fabric and wallpaper collection is made of very suble, neutral colors with lots of textures. We love, love the wallpapers. They don't show up too well on pictures but in person they are simply marvelous.
Here are some of our favorites:
This pattern is called Bonatica Marble. The pattern number is EW15001-106
This one is called Rain Drops. The pattern number is EW15006-125.
There are a lot more on the Lee Jofa web site. You can find the pricing and ordering information on our fabric store. Just enter the pattern number in the search box surrounded by quotation marks and it should come right up.

Lets 'really' talk about teenage boy's rooms!
11:45 AM

Image from Tommaso Ziffer As you all know, I have this fixation on how to decorate and the design that goes into teenage boys bedrooms. There is very little out there that really inspires me and makes me say wow!!!! gee that is a stunning room for a guy 15 years and above. I literally have hundreds of images of the most stunning bedrooms for babies, children and teenage girls but where are the rooms design specifically for teenage boys and older?
Its like when I go clothes shopping for my boys. The whole floor will have the most beautiful trendy clothing for girls and when I politely ask where is the boy clothing situated, its always in the corner, just a few selections of boring colours and designs, hidden out of sight because obviously boys don't where clothes hahahaha Anyway, a bit off track but the point being is I am determined to decorate my boys rooms that totally not only look fantastic but rooms that suit them and their life style....now this is going to be a challenge, believe me!
So, my question is, what is the most important design element that should be in a male teenagers room. I would love to hear from everybody your thoughts on this to help me kick start this project or quest I should call it LOL
Is it the paint colour, window furnishings, computer (this is one thing my boys will never be allowed to have in their rooms, for a good reason) tv's, desk or just a place to lounge with friends. From your experience, as a parent or interior decorator, what is the most important thing a young man would want in their room. I will be very interested to hear from you all.
Image from Rees Roberts via Desire to inspireNow this bedroom is stunning! Its the blinds that makes the room....but once again, its for a girl but could easily be a boys room. But, would a boy actually like this room? (take away the girly stuff) to tell you the truth I don't know...that's why I need help to understand what they really need and want.
On another note...You may remember that my lovely husband built some shelving so that all my son's toys could have a 'home' downstairs. The inspiration came from It's the little things that make a house a home karla has done a wonderful job in making her son's room more usable and child friendly. She has adapted her son's room to suit his life style...why have a big robe if he doesn't have the clothing to use all that space. So this is what got me thinking....
