May Flowers

With all the rain we have been getting lately, May is bound to be full of beautiful flowers! Not only that, but Mother's Day is only a week away and we all know Moms LOVE flowers :)

 Here is a little inspiration while you ponder over the perfect gift.

Olive and Cocoa's Bella Aubergine

An arrangement by Wendy for a sweet friends Birthday, but would be perfect for Mother's day Lunch!

Tommy Mitchell

We have been obsessing over Tommy Mitchell for over a year now. He designs these fabulous tole Flowers (all handmade!) and most recently, some great looking paper weights. It seems that Elle Decor has also caught on to the greatness that is Tommy Mitchell!

Check them out below:

Stop into the shop to check these out in person! We promise your jaw will drop :)

Farrow and Ball Wallcoverings

Farrow and Ball is one of our favorite companies when it comes to wall coverings (their paints are also exquisite!). They use their custom paint colors to hand block the papers and the end result is nothing short of jaw dropping! These images do not do Farrow and Ball justice, but we had to show you a glimpse into the world of beautiful wallpaper!

A classic: Brockhampton Star

Bumble Bee

Lattice

Rajah Stripe

Ocelot

Come into the shop and see some of these samples in person!

Beautiful Pillows

House Beautiful has wonderful pillows on their March cover!  We took a look at our front window and said, hey wait a second...we, too have wonderful pillows! 

Come by and check them out for yourself :)

Have a Happy Weekend!!

splashes of pink and dashes of red

Valentine's Day would not be complete without a little red and pink to punch up your interior! Take a look at some of these great looking spaces: some with just a dash of color, others with just a little bit more! 

Happy Valentine's Day from

Peter Dunham...because Spring can't get here fast enough

We know it may be way to early to start wishing for Spring... but with these gloomy days that seem to hang around forever, we had to do so something!

Peter Dunham might be just what we need to help get us through the next round of rainy days :) He was raised in France, spent his Summers in Spain, and now designs for clients all over the world while maintaining a home in Los Angeles. Not too shabby, Mr. Dunham!

His fabrics are fun, vibrant, worldly, and best of all- they are hand painted:
