grasscloth + chandeliers

This kitchen is full of unexpected touches. The grasscloth wall covering adds warmth and the illusion of a metallic backdrop while the backsplash flawlessly ties the warmth of the walls with the glamour of the twin chandeliers.

perfectly mismatched

Mismatching frames making up a collection of art or photographs on a wall has been a trend for some time now. I love when this look is taken to the extreme for an eclectic look but for my own home I prefer just slightly mismatched frames with a common theme in either the subject in or the style of the frame, just like these....

As an aside, how beautiful are the worn fabrics of this rug?

clean slate {of curtains}

The beginning of a new year is the perfect time for a clean slate in every aspect of your life--a blank new calendar (which I just realized I don't have!), an revamp of your wardrobe or a fresh look in your home. And a fresh look in your home does not mean a major overhaul--it can be something simple like adding a crisp cream curtain along a wall to cover up an old wall color or simply to add texture, as in this home designed by Vincente Wolf. Even these little things make a world of difference.

I am also just crazy about the proportions of this light fixture to the dining room table and the way the mirror hangs against the pleats of the curtain.

eye candy {wall of keys}

There are so many lovely things about this vignette--the beautiful double mirrors and the lovely accessories but what I just adore is the wall of vintage keys! Such a wonderful and unique idea that is sure to add an eclectic charm to any space.

loving {lily of the valley} wallpaper

Busy day today, but they all seem that way lately! This lovely lily of the valley wallpaper provided my eyes the perfect respite in the midst of the craziness. I also love the styling of the flowers in front of the paper.
