Lavender Ombre Glasses

January 14, 2013

While I was home over Christmas I went on a fun antiquing trip with my mom and sisters. It’s become a tradition {here are some of last year’s finds} and this year I scored this gorgeous set of lavender ombre glasses. Ever since Nicole posted about her ombre salad bowls I’ve been on the hunt for a set of something similar. I included them in a place setting for dinner last night while we were entertaining friends {along with West Elm plates and flatware} and I love the pretty bit of color they added to the table.

P.S. An exciting announcement on the blog tomorrow!

Diptyque

January 4, 2013

Diptyque candles are some of my favorites — the packaging + branding are perfect, they all smell delicious, and they burn for a really long time. After finishing the Baies candle, the jar now holds my makeup brushes, but I’m loving the idea of using them for greenery + flowers.

Home Goods

January 3, 2013

I wanted to put together a collage of a few furnishings that are inspiring me lately — a few of them have inspired some DIY projects and antique finds that I’ll be posting about soon. Also one that didn’t make it onto the collage: these, and they’re on sale! After I saw Christine’s collection I had to go and check them out.

Navy Velvet

December 11, 2012

Does anyone have any experience with velvet sofas? I’m looking for something dark (LOVE navy!) and that won’t show every single fuzz and crumb. I think the look of a navy velvet sofa is so elegant but practical is important, too!

Four Poster Beds

November 28, 2012

We need a new bed. We’ve had the same bed that Matt used in his bachelor days and we’ve finally decided that it’s time to upgrade. I know tufted beds and headboard are all over the blogging world and I like the look — but for some reason I keep going back to these classic four poster bed styles. The tall posts make the whole room look bigger and it just looks so luxe, don’t you think? What are you thoughts on the four poster style? I have my eye on this one.
