Swoon Interiors

interiors that make your heart skip a beat.

Friday Foursome

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Friday Foursome! But Yay! We made it through January!

Welcome to this week’s Friday Foursome, where I share a few of the things that made me swoon over the past week.

I know the trend these days is for light and bright interiors, but there is something to be said for the coziness and moodiness of this Napa Valley Cabin. I could move right in!

I love this idea from the Traditional Home Napa Valley Designer Showhouse! (Hmmm – do you sense a Wine-theme here?) Instead of one large chandelier, why not cluster three pretty pendants of different sizes and shapes.? Here they are featuring the Girard Lanterns from Circa Lighting.

I’m a sucker for cute little pots and vases.  I love these new ones from Magnolia – in cement and natural wood. A great way to add an earthy element to your bookshelves or coffee table!

These braided poufs are a fun and inexpensive find from an unexpected source!

Summer Guests

Ahhhh … summering in the Hamptons.

I wish that were my excuse for the lack of blog posts lately, but no.
More like kids at home and lots of client projects.
But a girl can dream can’t she?
I could be easily persuaded to unpack my bags at the 2011 Hampton’s Designer Showhouse that was featured in the latest issue of Traditional Home.
After a quick change in the pool house,
I’d be very happy sitting here …
… perhaps with a mojito in hand?
And if invited to stay, I’m not picky.
I would stay in either one of these guest rooms.

And for my hosts, perhaps I’d bring something along the lines of this cute gift idea I spotted on One Kings Lane.
Filled with bar essentials like a bottle of the hosts’ favorite cocktail, fun beverage napkins, straws,  bar snacks, fresh fruit, a mixer, and a citrus reamer … all tucked neatly inside a pretty lantern they could use poolside.
What do you think? Anyone have a house in the Hamptons they’d like to invite me to? What if I offer free decorating services? 
You know where to reach me.
Hope you all have a happy and safe Fourth of July!
