Elements of Style Blog

MY last week and weekend has been INSANITY. I moved, took a biz trip to Chicago the next day for a night, came back to more apartment decorating/settling and some client work.

The guest room is coming along, I love the marble mantle and my new IKEA bed and Jill Rosenwald rug- but most of all I was psyched about this adorable skeepskin stool I found at Diseno Bos- handmade in Patagonia and so friggin’ cool!

My bedroom is coming along nicely- we painted the walls Elephant Skin by Behr and I LOOOOOOVE it. Popped up drapes from IKEA, reupholstered my bench in a Duralee leopard print and put down my eBay heriz rug! The bedding is linen coral border by Lands End I previously blogged about- while it’s a HUGE duvet and gets quite wrinkly, I love the weight and the color.

Andrew built our first fire in the fireplace (and watched football). We have no couch or chairs yet and the dogs are PISSED.

I have been wearing this Kate Spade locket my mom got me for Xmas all the time! I keep anxiety meds in it, naturally.

I stayed at the fabulous James Hotel in Chicago. Loved it.

In between meetings my friend and I had amazing lattes at Julius Meinl. Yum. And how great are those mugs?

I got to see Jayson Home & Garden in person! Such a lovely shop I’ve been sourcing from for years online.

These pillows for a client’s sunroom came out AMAZING. I didn’t want to part with them!

How gorgeous is the coffee table top from Mohr & McPherson? Such an amazing print!
