Mimosa Lane: home and interiors

House of Hackney

Everything and anything from House of Hackney, a British brand, is pure design bliss. They marry traditional designs with modern colors and themes making their products- like wallpaper, fabrics, tabletop items and even clothing- stand out with elegance. I just love the whimsical and sassy patterns that make their pieces so interesting and original.

House of Hackney, the perfect mix between fashion and interiors, was founded in 2011 by husband-and-wife team Javvy Royle and Frieda Gormley. For them, it is not only about a beautiful and daring product but also about utilizing the great tradition of British print houses. They source the best manufacturers in the UK supporting local employment and protecting these age-old industries that might otherwise seize to exist. Let me show you what I'm talking about-

Artist Spotlight || Paige Gemmel

You all know I love discovering new artists. Well I have been in love with Paige Gemmel's colorful and chic original and prints for a few years. She combines Chinoiserie and Palm Beach Chic in the most perfect way. This piece above that she made for Paige Minear's One Room Challenge is fabulous. She sells her work through her etsy store Pink Lion Dog where she has amazing prints, but the originals are my favorite (below)-

Letterboards

Letterboards are all the rage. Fill them with uplifting quotes, sassy remarks, dream reminders or even with just your to-do list and you will be on trend. Old school is now super cool. Go figure! Not only are they great for instagram photos or your bar cart but they could make your kitchen or office a little more fun as well. If you are in the market for one I recommend either of these two companies- Letterfolk, Three Potato Four. Also, this cute pink board is pretty sweet. I hope you enjoy these-

ORC Favorites || Spring 2017

Linda's fabulous #OneRoomChallenge Spring reveals occurred last week, and they were so fun!! I am highlighting my favorites from the 20 blogger projects and will share some of my favorites from the guest participants next week. I love looking through these because they are huge idea generators for me. I'm honestly so inspired by the different projects and just enjoy seeing the creativity that goes into each and every detail. First off, I really loved this living room by Sketch42. I'm a huge fan of folding screens and the use of this one is just perfection in my book. -

Designer Spotlight || Tamara Magel

I forget how I first found out about Tamara Magel, but I am so glad I did. Her impeccable style and great eye makes every room standout. Her luxe and modern interiors are always filled with warmth and a touch of whimsy. Although mostly neutral her spaces have a lot of personality. Let's take a look-

Just a Few Things || Getting ready for Summer

Just a few things that I thought would your life a little more fun.

Walls that WAO || Jayne Design Studio

This small but beautifully designed apartment by Jayne Design Studio in New York's Upper West side is a standout because of its daring walls. The exquisite walls in the living room are covered in painted canvas by Anne Harris (you can read more about her jaw-dropping murals here), based on 1707 designs for English dress silk by James Lehman, which goes to show that inspiration is everywhere. And the bedroom has a handpainted Chinese wallpaper commissioned from Gracie with views of villages in a soothing light blue palette. One thing is for certain, this apartment may be small but the design makes it grand.

Inexpensive Large Format Photography || Jenny's Print Shop

Jenny Komenda's Little Green Notebook was one of the first blogs I was instantly addicted to (you can see my old living room here on her blog). She is so talented in design, crafty in DYIs, creative in general, such a great entrepreneur, and just the loveliest person ever. I was really excited to learn that she recently launched, Jenny's Print Shop, where you can download some of her beautiful photos for just $15. These are high resolution images that you can then print in large format (my favorite! you can print these over 20"×30″ if you wanted to) and frame to your liking. So, for just $15 you can get beautiful art for your home to enliven your space. Her photos are fun, colorful and different. There is something for everyone. Let me show you my faves....this flower one is definitely my most favorite....but there are many that I would not mind hanging in my home.

Sharon Santoni || My French Country Home

One of the things I love most about having this little blog and about social media is connecting with amazing people from different parts of the world and sharing in all the interests we have in common. This past weekend I met the inspired and lovely Sharon Santoni from My French Country Home.

Designer Spotlight || Brant McFarlain

I'm excited to share Brant McFarlain's portfolio with you all today. I recently learned about him through a dear friend and I fell in love with his sexy and elegant yet warm design aesthetic. I also love that he is a local Dallas designer. From gold fireplaces, to mirrored vaulted ceilings to energetic art I think you will enjoying looking through his work. Here are my favorite shots-
