Subway Tile

 

I love a classic subway tiled wall - it's timeless! It works in the kitchen and the bathroom, I prefer either white or marble with a white or light gray grout. You can add detail with the size, color, grout, beveled or smooth face, and plenty of other options such as trims and moldings! Check out the current project that I am working on below:

For this project we decided on a "bone" (off-white) beveled 3x6 tile. The first piece of the renovation is complete - the floor! We chose a hexagonal pattern with a mixture of marbles. The vanity is an "Angora" Gray cabinet with a Carrara Marble countertop. For the walls we will be using C2 "Holiday" paint!

More photos as the project progresses!

 Tiny Lucite Table Lamp

Books, Lucite & Fur...what a great combination!

I love how the chairs almost look invisible here, hence being a "ghost" chair...

They look great with the chunky rustic table...unexpected.

Lucite partner's desk or game table with leather chairs....looks very sophisticated in this office/den.

This has been one of my all time favorite spaces, I always go back to this one. It's a wonderful mix of vintage items and with that little romantic chandelier, it's a great balance of masculine & feminine pieces. I'm also a sucker for a great bar cart...as seen on the left side of this pic.

Lucite can work with many different design styles, and can add an element of unexpectedness to a room. You will notice sometimes people use a fur pelt or throw to warm it up a bit, or leave it plain for a transparent effect. Depending on the setting the Louis Ghost Chair can be very traditional because of the actual style of the chair. You have to include a little bit of Lucite somewhere in your home!

Milk Glass

I am completely obsessed with vintage milk glass! Especially Fenton Hobnail, but I like to mix it all together. Whenever I go antiquing (which is virtually every nice Sunday spring-fall...) I try to pick up a piece here and there to add to my collection. It looks so great all grouped together - even when it's just mishmashed pieces, actually I think that makes it better!
Have a great short week!

Exteriors & Doors

It's that time of year that we start thinking about the outside of our house and what we can do to clean it up from winter and spruce it up a bit! Are you classic or daring with your exterior colors? I love a great pop of color on a front door - it can change the entire look of the house. It's quite an easy change too! What's your preference?

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

The site will feature a variety of e-design options, custom pillows, bedding & drapes, as well as a one-of-a-kind section of antiques that I have sourced myself!
