Moroccan Rugs

On my wishlist for my home is a Moroccan rug.  They add so much beautiful texture to a space and help create a comfy casual chic vibe.  Especially love the deep pile ones – they look so incredibly soft and wonderful for walking barefoot on.

Two Sexy Living Rooms

There’s a sexy sophistication about these two living rooms.  Loving the glamorous gold accents, plush velvet sofas, and oversized artwork, incorporated into each space in its own way.

Baskets as Storage Solution for Throws

A great place to keep living room throws and blankets is in a woven basket.  Baskets are portable, so they can move wherever needed and they add beautiful texture in a room:

Cozy up

A simple little throw blanket can really help make a space feel cozy, which is especially appealing during these colder months.  Of course a burning fireplace doesn’t hurt either.

Do you have a throw that’s specific for your living/family room or do you tend to bring out regular bedroom blankets whenever you want to cozy up on the sofa to watch a movie or read a book?  Is there one that you love and would recommend (like a super soft or warm one)?

Navy + Orange & Quadrille’s Potalla

Thank you everyone for all the birthday wishes!

I’ll leave you today with this beautiful room by Porter Design Company. I’m in love with those gorgeous navy lacquered walls and the color combo of blue, orange, and turquoise.
Love also that it incorporates Quadrille‘s Potalla fabric. It’s such a gorgeous pattern and works so beautifully in the space.

For those of you who may be interested, I just recently added pillows made of that fabric in my shop!

Have a great weekend all!

Two Instead of One

Two small tables are a great alternative to having the usual one large coffee table in the living room. Their size (and weight) makes them portable and versatile, which is perfect for accommodating the functions of a multi-use space.

Fabric Love: La Fiorentina in Magenta/Wine

Have had a love for David Hicks La Fiorentina fabric ever since first seeing it on Ruthie Sommer’s sofa featured on the cover of Domino magazine’s premire issue. Received a shipment of it in the wine/magenta colorway today and can’t wait to make them into pillows for the shop.  Look out for them sometime next week!

Sofa Love

If I was in the market for a new sofa, I’d probably look for one like this…

…an amply proportioned sofa with a deep seat, rolled arm, and tight scalloped back. Doesn’t it look comfy?

As I mentioned in my Dream Home post, Sofia Coppola’s blue one (top two images) is the Jules sofa by George Smith (as is probably some of the other sofas pictured as well). Unfortunately it’s quite pricey (I believe around $12K). The Cameron sofa from Room and Board (which can be upholstered in any fabric they have available) is a good option for getting the look for less. I’d probably replace the legs with vintagey ones to get closer to the look.  If you happen to know of any other sources for getting a similar style piece at an affordable price please do share!

UPDATE – From my awesome readers:
