Paul & Joe ....Perrrrrrrfect! (Via Made By Girl)

    Paul & Joe definitely have it going on when it comes to CLEVER packaging. I've always said that a clever package can get me to buy a product most of the time! Hopefully, the product lives up to the same!!  The owner, Sophie Albou began Paul & Joe (named after her two sons) in 1995 and it's now a brand based in Paris that dresses many of the biggest celebrities! 


    I love so many of the looks at Paul & Joe, but these PRETTY-PACKAGED lipsticks from the Autumn collection really caught my attention! They are Perrrrrrrrfect!  Check out the entire site for more good stuff.

Het Arsenaal in The Netherlands... (Via Made by Girl)

    Hope you all had a great weekend. MY WEEKEND WAS.... quite busy, with design work, DIY project on the new lamps I purchased (from TJ Maxx), birthday to attend & volunteering at the Soup Kitchen to feed the homeless. Now, it's back to blogging and working as usual.....


    This MONDAY I bring you Designer, Jan des Bouvrie is constantly impressing me with his furniture designs, interiors & architecture. The first thing that comes to mind when I look at these images is, tranquility and RELAXATION. As I've said before, I love all WHITE interiors with pops of color....and all white furniture pieces (even though not always so practical) are just gorgeous! 

    Jan's furniture has such crisp and modern lines, all truly simplistic pieces. Check out Jan's extensive portfolio for a FULL SCREEN peek at all these wonderful images.

Susan Brown's Romantic Paintings....(Via Made By Girl)

    I came across Susan Brown's paintings some time ago and found them to be so romantic and pretty! These are great pieces of artwork for those of you looking to add flowery-type ART to your home! On her site she offers originals and prints of her originals as well. 

    For me, I'd rather have the ORIGINALS.....I need to TOUCH the canvas and feel the paint texture!  I was also very drawn to Susan's use of colors, she's not afraid to splash hot pinks and bright reds on one canvas... all the while still looking great! 
    Check out more of Susan's work via her site.

All Re-Upholstered.....My Louis Chairs (Via Made By Girl)

    My Louis chairs arrived from my upholsterer, Alex Rivas, yesterday....woo hoo! I was so thrilled to finally get them!! They did a great job & I can't wait to pair these chairs up with a NEW table! I'm pretty much decided on the Flatiron table from Restoration Hardware, (even though it's on back order until end of Sept.).


    I really think the pairing of solid reclaimed elm doors and cast metal on the Flatiron table (see pic of table below) along with newly upholstered new chairs will look quite interesting!


    What do you think so far?? I'd love to hear your comments.

    I have to admit, I was VERY inspired by Robert & Cortney's kitchen dining table & chairs. I knew I wanted something WHITE that would wipe down easily, so I decided on an off-white pleather for the chair seat. I believe it's also what they have on their chairs (according to an interview I read). 

    It's just EASIER to wipe down, I love it!  I chose brass nail heads for my chairs, I thought it gave it a slight vintage feel.

    below is the BEFORE pic for those of you who missed my original post .



    On a SAD note, my upholsterer's shop BURNED DOWN a few weeks BEFORE I brought my chairs in, but they are currently working out of a temporary space. They also lost one of their dogs in the FIRE along with their entire business. It's so heartbreaking and I wish them the best. Alex & his partner, Perry both run Alex Rivas Upholstery here in Nevada & they are affordable and highly professional. I highly recommend them for upholstery work. 


    You can visit their site here to see what their shop used to look like. They're also the ones who upholstered my white PROVINCIAL SOFA you see on my blog banner!

My search for Lighting ....

    I'm seriously looking for either new lamps, to PAINT the ones in my bedroom you see here, or paint and add a new shade. My preference would be an all white lamp with gold ring at the bottom of the base, but I haven't decided yet. 

    Coming across so many amazing LAMPS all over the place probably isn't helping! However, I'm certain something will strike me! I came across some I really liked, let me know what you think. I'd love to know where you shop for lighting....

    Do you have a favorite source for lamps??

My Bedroom in Progress.....

    If you remember, I mentioned that I had purchased this headboard from West Elm. Well, we knew that it would look TOO LOW with our pillow top mattress, so we took matters into our own hands and designed a headboard extension for it! It isn't perfect, but it definitely did the job! Hopefully, you can see past the WRINKLED sheets... hence the reason why I said I need fitted sheets.


    So, as you can see the West Elm headboard was ELEVATED onto a headboard extension to make it appear higher...(11 1/4" to be exact). Using 1" boards, we made a box just like the one at the bottom of the headboard and mounted the headboard on top of it. We then patched off the small openings on the original headboard with a couple of small pieces of ivory leather we bought on Ebay.

    cushions on bed are from fabricadabra, pier 1,

     By the way the paint in my room is NOT black, it's actually called Turret Stair by Ralph Lauren Paints. You can also see the color here more accurately.

    I'm also looking to buy a pair of nightstands and came across these from World Market. They're a little plain, but I think I can manage to spruce them up with some interesting hardware.
