With the start of the school year getting closer I find myself wanting to hold on to the magic of summer. I sometimes log-on to Zillow to stalk beautiful homes for sale in chic beachy places, like the Hamptons for example. It really is the perfect pastime. So, I was delighted to learn about the new and beautiful Out East coffee table book filled with some of the most beautiful houses and gardens of the Hamptons. This book is the perfect antidote to the end of summer blues. Published by Vendome Press, Out East: House and Gardens of the Hamptons by Jennifer Ash Rudick and photography by Tria Giovan, is a beautiful coffee table book that celebrates this coveted locale and captures the lush gardens, cozy cottages and chic designed spaces. The book leads us in an insider's tour of more than 30 of The Hampton's most distinctive houses and gardens. Take a look!-
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-
Happy Sunday friends. We are loving the sweet pinks of warm weather combined with some sassy reds for that perfect punchy combination.
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 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-
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. -
