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

A great “look for less” – this Etsy shop offers gorgeous beach photography for a fraction of the price of design darling Gray Malin.

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

I’m always excited to come across a new wallpaper brand – and I love the charming prints created by artist Marthe Armitage in her English studio.

MA5

The best part – she is 86!

There are so many unique and whimsical patterns. But even if you can’t find the right space to use her wallpaper -you can get a little sample by purchasing one of the Jo Malone products she collaborated on. marthe-jo-bath-oil-large_transvM2WFVaXGCcglIGy6zUqRvUdtlPqjh3KKG9pWgLOV9E

How sweet is this packaging? Mother’s Day gift idea?

joanna

It seems that everything Joanna Gaines touches turns to gold lately, doesn’t it?  I’m sure that’s going to be the case with her new line of Loloi rugs.

loloi

These are just a few of my favorites. I love working with Loloi rugs – so please contact me if you are interested in these or any of her rugs, pillows or throws.

And speaking of Fixer-Upper’s – no this is not a European villa – it is Gwyneth Paltrow’s new “fixer-upper” in Santa Barbara, CA.

I’ve clearly got textiles on the brain today – loving this sneak peek Rebecca Atwood shared on Instagram of her new line of hand-dyed one-of-a-kind quilts!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the wonderful Mom’s out there! Excited to spend the day with my Mom and Sis today visiting all our favorite shops in Geneva … with lunch at Bien Trucha – of course!

So were on Spring Break last week near Palm Beach, FL. A drive down Ocean Ave. left me itching to see what some of these Palm Beach mansions cost … so I’ve been snooping around on Realtor.com and found some beauties … for around $40 mil.

palmbeach

You can put your own personal touch on this one that is still under construction … for cool $74.5 mil.  Hey – a girl can dream, right?

This fair-trade collective has  “a passion for discovering the beautifully unique and carefully made things one can only stumble upon in the tucked-away workshops and rural village markets on exotic travels.”  The perfect way to add a little boho-vibe to your abode.

I’m always excited to sit down with a new episode of Fixer Upper!  I absolutely love this idea from last week’s 1919 Bungalow.  Instead of planting traditional window boxes, she filled them with gorgeous terracotta pots and boxwoods! They really make a statement and presumably would be much easier to maintain.

Ok … this might be cheating, but #2 is from the same episode. I love the giant scroll of butcher paper on the wall of this kitchen. It’s a fresh twist on the traditional chalkboard!

(Just before she flies out to LA for the Emmys!) what a wonderful event at the Monogram Design Studio learning Jean’s tips and tricks for setting a beautiful holiday table. (It doesn’t have to be perfect or match … lean into nostalgia with vintage pieces and found treasures from travels and take advantage of faux greens … just to name a few!) Plus the talented chefs at Monogram served up the most delicious snacks using their amazing Five-in-One Wall Oven. I’m excited to set my table for Christmas Eve this year and I may just be using Jean’s idea of tying velvet ribbons to vintage coupe glasses. Oh and the dried orange garland!  What are your favorite things to add to your Holiday table?

I sent them several Design Boards and paint swatches with this is where we landed! #edesign #homeoffice @luluandgeorgia @potterybarn @benjaminmoore

Do you know the story of how Crate & Barrel began? Do you know the story of how Crate & Barrel began? Newlyweds Gordon and Carol Segal discovered simple white European dinnerware on their honeymoon and decided their hometown friends needed it too. They opened the first Crate & Barrel in Chicago in 1962. So honored to be invited to their 60th Anniversary celebration last night. And let me just say, Crate & Barrel sure knows how to set a table … for 60! Every detail of this evening was beautifully styled in that special C&B way that has made them a favorite place to shop for so many for so long. It was wonderful to hear Gordon speak and the last picture is the lovely cozy view I had for dinner. Quintessential Crate & Barrel. @crateandbarrel #60thanniversarycelebration
