These are a few of my favorite things...

It seems that a certain someone whose name starts with a R and ends in a ALPH LAUREN can do no wrong when it comes to Sensational Furniture Pieces! I say, "Yes, please!" to each.

BEYOND Lovely

A wolf in sheep's clothing? A book judged by it's cover? The exterior of this house is no doubt Lovely but what I found inside took my breath away. Check out more here courtesy of House Beautiful.

This month's Architectural Digest featured 10 Amazing Exterior Make-Overs. Each preserved the natural forms of the existing structure and landscape while bringing to life these homes as a true showpiece. This inspires me to re-define my own home's outer appearance, tummy tuck and nose job not included. Read more Here.

Contemporary Art

I'm working on a Contemporary space and the need for affordable art has been broached. I found this Amazing site that offers Original Modern Canvases in gorgeous designs. It's called M-DC and a Jumbo 58" x 43" ready to hang canvas is only $379. Talk about bang for your buck!

Color Crush

There's a song, I sang as a child... "The Primary Colors are one, two, three--red, yellow and blue." Put them together in design and they just work. Happy, cohesive and always melodic.

Sample Sale

I stumbled upon this fantastic Etsy shop, Gina Michele Vintage . This eco-friendly designer has used bamboo jersey in gorgeous shades of color to create her Collection and is offering her Collection's sample dresses at huge discounts. I purchased one of these gorgeous dresses for myself and it is Wonderful! The fabric is so soft, you feel like you could be wearing your most comfortable t-shirt instead of a gorgeous, one of a kind, designer dress.
Gina Michele's work has been featured in the NY Times and LUCKY magazine.

AFTER
With great pieces and warm color choices this room need only be tweaked. Positioning the furniture conversationally and accommodating a natural traffic flow, this space was redesigned to it's full potential.

Super Great Idea!

Artecnica launched this product back in 2008 as part of their Artecnica Wiremore™ collection, a series of electrical products aiming to change power cords and wires from "concealed, passive objects into visible, active elements that aesthetically and functionally energize living and working spaces". [via dezeen] The one I love is Joris Laarman's "WirePod." It is a flexible gray power pod that begins with a three-prong plug and branches out into four curled arms, each with a single three-prong socket. Its arms and body roll and unfurl as needed to adjust for your functional living space.

Material(s): Thermoplastic rubber
Dimensions: Power Cord 12.5-feet; Rolled Up W 18.9" L 28.9" D 1.9"
$330.00*, Buy it here.
*yes, that is a lot of money for an extension cord but I didn't say I bought one, just that I loved the idea ;)
