Cocktails in Color

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

I am super duper enamored with the amazing selection of fun chairs, bar carts and tables from Society Social. Bright colors, retro styling and lots of glitz make them tops on many wish lists!  It’s so hard to find an affordable, cool bar cart these days, so their choices are perfect for so many of my clients (and myself- we need one in the office). Take a peek at their goods and hop over to the site to see all the color combos and options available!

The bold colored bamboo chairs would look amazing around a tulip table in a small dining space (maybe with some custom made print cushions!)

There is good reason this chair is called the Duchess. I bow down.

This cute sofa is under $800!!! Perfect for someone on a budget with high style. (Side note: when is IKEA ever going to make that damn striped rug again??? I need it!!!!)

Two fabulous bold chairs!

Helllllloooo lovah!

I think this might be the perfect little bar cart. Great lines, cool customizable top color and space for everything.

Ok, I love them all.

this low slung cocktail table set would be so fun on a deck or patio!

Snakeskin covered side table used as a bar. Sleek and sexy!

Can I pour anyone something? :)

Design Crush: Ted Muehling

Monday, November 7th, 2011

I have long admired the amazing work of designer/artist Ted Muehling- he of the most desired candlesticks on the PLANET, according to yours truly. I mean, a collection of these traditional yet modern beauties is truly something to behold (and pass down to future generations). Naturally I want them in gold, which would be about $3,000 for that nice grouping down there, but we all need goals in life right?

Ted also does amazing work in ceramics and porcelain for Nymphenberg.  I personally adore the hand painted little insect plates and accessories.

More beautiful home wares in porcelain…

Aren’t these little votives just MAGIC?

Plates shaped like wings are unique and would be amazing on a coffee table (I picture just a singular one)

These egg vases are so simple but SO beautiful (Ina Garten has them on her nightstand, so you know they are good)

Ted also is a very talented jewelry designer… this bracelet is so charming and elegant in it’s natural beauty.


A plethora or FABULOUS earrings….

These cuffs are so modern but subtle in their material and color. A great accent to make a ho-hum ensemble slightly edgy.

Ted’s store in Manhattan is drop dead (and a must visit for me next time I’m in the Empire state). The wall color, the wood work, the marble busts!  I take some serious inspiration away from it for a home, actually.

Wood framed chairs look great when covered in sheepskin hides (saves of reupholstering and look so natural!)

Ted’s Sag Harbor living room has the same vibe as his store

For us Bostonians, you can see his stuff at the GORGEOUS E.R. Butler on Charles Street in Beacon Hill, which is stunning in it’s own right!

EOS + Rue La La Preview: Lekker Home

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Ahhhh, this is one of the reasons I love my neighborhood. The charming, comforting Lekker Home on the corner of my street.  I was introduced to this home store while working many years ago for another designer in this same area.  Pulling items for clients and photoshoots, I got to know the delightful owner Natalie and her charming, soothing shop.  Full of unique items for the home you won’t find in big box stores, this place makes you want to be organized, natural and artistic beyond belief! And the best thing? They have great online shopping that will ship to you even if you aren’t lucky enough to live here! :)

So as the clock ticks down to the awesome discounted gift card offer for Lekker on Rue Boston I wanted to show you my personal faves from their shop- it’s a long list!

This nailhead trimmed petite chair is so perfect for a bedroom corner and this wood framed and cream leather chair is really a piece of art. It’s in their window now and I admire it every day when walking Bax and Ollie!

They represent the John Derian furniture line and his field bench shown here is my current favorite end of bed bench! I also am loving this loose, light sofa from Marie’s Corner.

This walnut dining table is the first thing I will buy once I figure out where the heck I’m living. Simple, natural and the perfect backdrop to fun chairs (traditional or modern).  And this teak and metal coffee table is one of my favorite designs to make a living area feel more casual without being clunky.

I am back on the bedding hunt and this linen ombre duvet looks SO luscious! Ditto for one of my fave Dwell duvets in Draper Stripe!

Ok, I’ve been lusting after one of these striped blankets forEVAH! They come in pale blue, navy and orange and are perfection! The subtle geometric weave of the other blanket is fantastic too!

Ethereal, handcrafted table lamps in a choice of finishes at a great price point.

A wide array of John Derian plates! I love gifting the “Beautiful” one to friends for their bathrooms or dressers to remind them that they are!

A lovely, natural bathroom with this amazing organic, flax towels and one of my favorite counter top soaps that has no need for a fancy dispenser!

I just bought one of these Lafco candles that are designated for certain rooms. Be a rebel and put the Bathroom candle in your bedroom! :)

Dinnerware selection is spectacular here- from the Australian Mud line to Royal Copenhagen (obsessed).

A bit of gold in some outrageously cool flatware (I die) and I seriously love this gold chicken cookie jar. Must be mine!

OK, clearly I need to buy some of these gift certificates because I also NEED these champagne glasses. So retro, yet so modern! And how about these adorable patterned drinking glasses???

Some flair for the kitchen in striped tea towels and the coolest knife storage block ever. You have to play with it to appreciate it’s coolness. Trust me. Andrew is enamored with it.

And could trivets and bar tools be any more fabulous than when done in brushed brass and in these fabulous shapes??? I think not. That trivet is the hotness.

See what I mean, y’all? So much good stuff and I can’t wait to be able to offer you such a good deal on a gift card starting TOMORROW and running through Saturday!!!! Check back on Rue La La and select the local Boston shop!
