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

A Kitchen Worth a Mention

We had the pleasure of working with this client over the last several years.  Marjorie even awarded her the title, "dream client".  Now you know this is serious.

Lantern: Henhouse Antiques

Sconces: Urban Electric's Belle Meade.   Banquet design by Al Neel.

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:

Tis the Season!

Well guys, we are officially in the Christmas spirit!  Wendy has really out done herself this time preparing beautiful "take-away" gifts.  Potted Amaryllis, mercury glass votives and other thoughtfully wrapped items are perfect and easy for gift giving!
We also have just received new pillow shipments if you need a quick facelift!

Come by and check us out!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Decorating!!

5 Thanksgiving Tables and 1 Good Looking Turkey

With only a week to go, we thought we would help out with a little table inspiration for your Thanksgiving table. Whether you are hosting 1 or 21, these are some great ideas!

The best advice we can give is to keep it natural. Your Thanksgiving table shouldn't be extravagant. Let the food take center stage...and we have the Turkey that will do just that-see the end of our post.

and for the perfect turkey:

Arrange aluminum foil in desired shapes and 

roast according to you favorite family recipe.

Nothing like a little sun tan on your Turkey :)

The Rainbow Room is LIVE!!

It's finally here!

All this week we have been busy gathering and installing our Tastemaker space for the Antique Show at the Botanical Gardens. It is now finished and ready for your viewing (and buying) pleasure! If you need to add some color to your home, this is the time and place to make a move!

So many other wonderful designers and vendors are also at the show, so if you have not already, make plans to join us this weekend!
