So I went down to San Diego last weekend to help Cori over at Pretty Haute Mess do a little brainstorming for her wedding florals. Here are some of my favorite pics from our day of experimentation. Read more

Recently, I was introduced to Emilia Ceramics.  Emily Brown, the creator of the line carries a beautiful range of ceramics made in Italy, France, and Mexico.  I asked Emily to tell us a little bit about her line and what inspires her.Emily:After living in in Southern Spain, I fell in love with the people there, who live life at a slower pace and really appreciate the important things, like...

A while back I did a post about Bonobos and all of their fun critter pants and such.  Well, welcome Pierrepont Hicks to the prepster gentleman's club: Read more

I'm heading down to San Diego this weekend with Cori from Pretty Haute Mess to have a pre-wedding little floral fun.  Thought I'd leave you with this little floral tidbit from Marimekko's collection for Crate and Barrel. This tablecloth is so fun, fresh, and graphic. And yet there's something so retro about it. If it were plasticized it would fit right in with a 70's formica breakfast room set. Read more

This great necklace from Anthropologie And the new line of Swedish Hasbeens clog sandals for H&M (available April 20).  A little bit of comfy boho chic.  Read more

I was watching an episode of  Dear Genevieve recently where she reworked a tiny pied-a-terrefor her two design assistants. During the episode, they went over to Benjamin Noriega Ortiz's pad which was a pristine white space adorned with some of his custom lighting designs.  This reminded me of  his line of lighting And Bob's Your Uncle. I love the tounge-in-cheek name and the playful use of... Read more

I love how soothing this master bedroom is in the San Francisco Elle Decor Showhouse. It has a pop of color in the artwork yet feels so peaceful (and you know me with my color aversion of late). And I am obsessing about how the pendants used as nightstand lamps free up so much space on the bedside surface. Gotta use that trick somewhere. It has such an architectural, almost nautical feel with the... Read more

So, I've been considering what to do with our existing powder room. One day down the road (the key words being "down the road") we plan on replacing the powder room with a laundry area and creating a full guest bath in our current laundry. So as much as I would love to turn my powder room into a beautiful jewelbox, I just can't justify spending money on a fancy wallpaper just to rip it down in a... Read more

Loving this Spanish designer's work on hotels, restaurants, and shops.  Such a great collected, casual yet unique and refined feel with no pretenses - just an amazing eye for design. All images courtesy of Lazaro Rosa Violan.  Read more
