I would friggin’ sell my soul for this coat. And these legs.

This is just the most killer portrait… and sofa. And legs, again.

Lauren Santo Domingo’s whole look slays me- head to toe, I must have it. And the setting too (Paris).

The yellow, gold, green, wall molding and tiger (sadface).

The orange and turquoise combo- kill me. So good.

This is summer perfection to a T.

PREPPY HEAVEN! That room too- amazing!!!!

Oh Olivia. You are so lovely.

Love everything about this. The olive trench is just everything.

So elegant. That building too!

All black in Paris. Perfect.

The flowers, the colors…. just mind blowingly pretty.

Edgy, cool and colorful.

If I had to choose I’d probably do all black becasue I’m boring/classic like that.  Or maybe nude with black– you know, get crazy.  It’s not a shoe I’d typically be drawn to, as it seems a little granny-chic.  But now that I’ve seen this campaign, they have redefined it for a new generation and now I’m into it (the flats at least, the chunky low heel, not as much)!  Pretty genius, right?

See the monogram on the sole? So cute!

And did I mention how insanely gorgeous and lovely Clairborne Swanson Frank is? You’ve all seen her apartment in Elle Decor! I know we’d be best friends because of that leopard bench. It’s telling.

Yes, that’s her. I know…… We don’t even have to talk about it.

This is a horrid picture but you can kind of see the space…. better shots (but sans light) HERE.  Also I am still considering swapping out the Hicks pendants for these, which I already have in my possession.  Votes from friends have been evenly divided…

The stairs will be leopard, as I managed to get this past Andrew! YAY! Cannot WAIT for this to go in.  This area is open to the dining area so that has to be kept in mind.  As such, I believe I will forgo a run under the dining table, we tried one and it just felt so fussy.

I love emerald green, so if I do a color pop it will be that.  It’s so fresh, clean and very me.  I still am obsessed with this room by Grant K. Gibson with emerald green leather Louis style chairs.  I could totally do this look….

Paired with clean white drapes with grey greek key lead trim, same as what will go in the living room eventually.

OR I could do a bold drape, like this image (which I also am obsessed with).

With that I would probably pair the Louis style chairs from Ballard in a dark grey fabric.

A third option is a print drape- most likely a grey and white.  When I was planning the room I had thought I’d do the Premier Prints fabric at right…. but now I’m not 100% sure.  We’ve had clients do drapes in the  Lee Jofa Punch Linen at left and they do look lovely, and with my grey grasscloth would be cool.  Actually, either of these would pair great with those green chairs…. drat, another option!

My last thought was a color AND print drape, like Peter Dunham Fig Leaf which I have as pillows in my sunroom.  I am also SUPER SUPER obsessed with these brass frame chairs from Empiric.  In that natural leather they are quite pretty too!

And with all these options, an dlooking at what I;ve already spent on this renovation,  all I keep thinking is….

Looks like slate, right???  A few more images of stamped concrete patios:

We took out a big tree to make room for it while still leaving plenty or lawn for dog wrestling…. not mention, we have big plans for more plants and trees for a smidge of privacy.

I also have been wondering what color to paint my shed (and I need to get my Grandma’s vintage Brown Jordan patio set powdercoated…)

After seeing Erica Cook’s instagram photo of her yard I am thinking black with white windows!  I want it to fade away a bit, but this will make it look modern and match our house too!

Some more patio inspiration images- both grand and doable:

A firepit would be nice, no?

Patio is the city are super charming too- plus no mowing!
