The fantastic Kay McGowan has launched a new shop called A Curated World with a lovely and inspiring collection of artisan made goods made exclusively for her buyers, each with a captivating story behind it. Kay travels the world to meet and learn from artists and bring these unique, hand-made items to you. Being a Boston local (and former guru of all things at the South End’s Mohr & McPherson) I had to share this amazing new source with you all!
I am not particularly a Lea Michelle fan. Something about her just really rubs me the wrong way, and I don’t even watch Glee. However, I kind of adore her new, little cottage in LA! Of course, only in LA would a small 2 bedroom home cost $1.4 million, but I’m impressed by her modest purchase (size wise) and the potential of this ADORABLE little gem! Oh what I could do with this thing!
I’m dead over this cuteness. DEAD.
If dying twice were possible, it just happened.
SUCH a darling backyard!
Oh hello outdoor kitchen. Me gusta!!!
I’d get rid of that butcher block island, as it makes the space crowded. I might swap those counter tops for Cararra marble and do a little subway tile with black grout on the back splash. (Obvs!)
Fireplace surround replaced IMMEDIATELY. Again Cararra or perhaps limestone. I think I have some time to decide.
P.S. That light is just plain silly in scale.
Loves it.
Upholstered tufted bed, amazing print drapes, soft cozy Beni Ourain rug and new sconces…. maybe? Yes, lets.
Andrew would be psyched to basically be able to BBQ in the master bedroom. Ribs in bed, anyone?
Love.
Love squared.
Awesome den/office with stylish pull out sofa for guests (the previous owner certainly had a thing for Nelson pendants, no?)
Something a little like this- hella girly but sleek:
Sources: light, sofa, desk, curtain fabric, rug, coffee table, lamp, art, candle, pillows
P.S. I am LOVING this series of women in water (one piece used above) by photographer Rosanne Olson via Iris Gallery.
I am seriously crushing on everything Schoolhouse Electric. Their logo, their inspiration rooms, their products. Both utilitarian and deliciously decorative. I am loving the vibe!
