Textiles Make the Room

Friday, January 20, 2017



I am a firm believer than textiles and accessories can really make the room. In this fab California home by Amber Interiors, the stunning use of vintage and ethnic textiles adds such color, depth, pattern and texture. By keeping the rest of the spaces breezy and simple, with clean lines, white walls and lots of mid century pieces, the textiles really pop! I just love this eclectic look, what do you think?






{This might be the most charming and stylish nursery ever!}






And for those in the market for a few - my go to secret source for great vintage inspired textiles is Urban Outfitters Home and Anthropolgie Home! Who knew?

Cozy + Chic: The Boho Daybed

Wednesday, May 25, 2016


One of the projects I am working on at the moment has a little media room tucked away on the third floor. The client wants this to be a warm, family space for watching movies and lounging together so we opted to use a daybed and load it with a riot of fun, bohemian pillows. I love the idea of a causal, layered mix of patterns and textures. We started with a pair of blue batik pillows the client had picked up in Bali and added on from there with a color palette of indigo blues, creams and a pop of pink. The best part about this cozy and chic look is you can't go wrong - no matching required! Here are our fav inspiration images . . .

Beauties on a Budget: H&M Home

Friday, February 28, 2014



I have many years experience sorting through H&M's racks for fashion steals, so I was so excited to discover that H&M also carries a fantastic home decor line! I might be a decor addict, but I love an interior that is dynamic and changes with time, and switching out affordable accessories and textiles is the best way to achieve this look. Right now they have a really fun selection of graphic textiles, vintage inspired storage pieces, and metallic finishes. Here are my fav picks of the moment - and the best news is pretty much everything is under $30!

  And a few more lovely shots from their site . . . well done H&M!

Dreamy Office of the Day

Monday, May 23, 2011



Sigh . . . I wish this was my home office! I adore the combination of the antique textiles: the susani, ikat, and shaggy Moroccan rug all in raspberry tones! Just dreamy. The organic, natural texture and color of the desk lightens the space so nicely and of course I love the two doggies for company. Just perfect if you ask me! Do you agree?
