Jacqui Getty’s Hollywood Home

08.31.11

Just had a chance to flip through my copy of the latest issue of C Magazine and was delighted to see featured this beautiful Hollywood Hills home. Especially loving the gorgeous outdoor living area and the living room with big windows and views of the green garden. I think they shall be the newest additions to my dream home inspiration file.

Patterned Sofas

08.9.11

While a sofa upholstered in a solid colored fabric is the safest and usually most economical option, for those who can afford it and are feeling adventurous enough, sofas in a fun patterned fabric can make pretty fantastic statement pieces that can do a lot to add beautiful interest in a space:

Good Morning

Hello! Today I’m excited to announce that the blog will be getting a new look this week! The design is done, programming is currently underway, and it will be up sometime in the next few days. I’ll be switching over to WordPress – keeping my fingers crossed that the switch goes smoothly!

Mirrored Vanities

07.26.11

If I had a dedicated dressing room, I think I’d like to incorporate a mirrored vanity table. There’s something just so glamorous about them wouldn’t you agree?

White Frame Chairs

06.16.11

Love chairs with a white painted frame and a dark or richly hued upholstery fabric. The pairing creates such a beautiful contrast. A few favorite examples:

Painted Chevron Floor

Came across this image a couple of weeks ago and still have it in my head. I think you’ll see why:

Isn’t that chevron painted floor beautiful?? It was designed by Merrilee McGehee. See more of her work here.

Tangerine in the Bath

06.6.11

Usually I’m drawn to bathrooms in soft, soothing colors, but I’m loving the punch of tangerine in these. I bet the color serves as a nice litte pick me up in the mornings!

Stylish Storage: Hermes Boxes

06.3.11

The iconic Hermes boxes — their signature orange color and brown trim make them pretty enough to have out on display and make for a chic small scale storage option:

What do you think? Love ‘em or hate ‘em?

BTW, you don’t necessarily have to shell out big bucks for a Hermes item in order to get an orange box. I’ve seen the empty boxes available on ebay and Etsy.
