Today’s “Friday Finds” are all about the Gold and it’s back in a big way. C. Wonder is another favorite of mine and if you haven’t already been to one of their retail stores yet go. The store carries clothing, accessories and modern home décor items put together. Happy Friday!
Ballard Designs is a great online catalog for many home décor items. But I love the fact that you can have any of their classic furniture pieces upholstered how you would like with any of their fabrics. So what’s your style? A tufted sofa, curved headboard, a classic bench? Ballard has a variety of fabrics from textured to patterned in great color options as well. What fabrics do you like? Geometric, floral, striped? Do you have a decorating dilemma and feel stuck? Get in touch with me and become a client.
If you have a powder room in your home here are some great decorating ideas you can do. Powder rooms are a perfect opportunity to really get creative and show some personality. With so many options for color, wallpaper, wainscoting and tiles the possibilities are endless. Placing an ornate mirror and flanking a set of sconces will really show some drama to the space as well. Have fun with it and I hope today’s powder rooms inspire you to start your next project.

One of the first things I did when I moved to California was visit a bookstore that carried old books and vintage magazines. I didn’t have any art for my first apartment so I had the idea to purchase old fashion magazines and have them blown up to poster size then framed. The results were rather striking and today I still have them. If you are struggling with ideas for art in your home take a look at these vintage Vogue magazine covers to get inspired.
The cover I ended up enlarging and framing is the one above with the lady posing as the letter V, it’s one of my favorites.
Have you seen the latest work of Mary McDonald in the September issue of House Beautiful? I love her work and I’m always inspired by her interiors. It is nice to see her take on a neutral palette with lots of textures for this California home.
The kitchen floor below is amazing, I can’t get enough of the chevron patterned tiles. She strikes such a classic balance within this space. Notice the industrial Restoration Hardware pendants over the island. She also added a accent color in a light blue with some geometric and striped patterns in the kitchen sitting area.
The master bedroom below is such a serene place to be with taupe, lavender and ivory colors to surround you with. There is just enough pattern and texture without making it to busy. The dressing room is a dream with the wallpaper and mirrored bench and gives such glamour to your every morning routine. I wouldn’t expect anything less from the glamour girl herself, Mary McDonald.
