Friday Foursome

Lovers of the Ballard Designs catalog – you will NOT want to miss this article on Ballard Founder, Helen Ballard Weeks and it’s tour of the to-die-for Atlanta home she recently sold.

Maybe it’s my excitement about getting on the beach in a couple weeks, but lately I have been drawn to water and beach inspired art like this gorgeous piece featured in a stunning San Clemente home.  There is something so soothing about it. Interestingly, you can find some pretty cool but smaller versions at Urban Outfitters.

 

I love the color lavender – but it’s so rarely used in interior design. Like pink it has the connotation of being too girly. This article has some great examples of more sophisticated uses of the color in design. (Plus I just love the two cats in this picture.)

Had a fabulous time at the Grand Opening Party for the new Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams Store in Oakbrook last night with my favorite girls! More details next week, but we may have found our new summer cocktail!
