Trending: Geometric

The more I browse stores, online, pinterest, etc, the more I see geometric shapes in design. From a candle or vase to a rug or bed, it's becoming a trend that I'm not upset about - what about you? Plus, it's pretty Photoshop cropping friendly ;) I've put together some geometric pieces that I'm loving from a bunch of my favorite stores. They're perfect to add in a space to break up a lot of soft pieces or textures and easy to switch out (for the most part) if you decide you want to try something new. My tip is to not over do it, because it's important to think about balance when decorating with anything geometric otherwise it can begin to look too busy. Which piece is your favorite??

Hi all and Happy Labor Day! I haven't posted since July 1st - I really need to get it together.

AD Design Show 2017

Hey everyone! This post is overdue, but I did not forget about it. I want to share with you some highlights from the Architectural Digest Design Show in NYC last week. Some of my favorites included the Prism Collection by The Principals because well, who doesn't love gorgeous greenery, Tucker Robbins one-of-a-kind woven and hand carved pieces, and Wud Furniture's gotham collection handmade in Brooklyn. There is SO much more, more than I even was able to take photos of but I hope this inspires you to dive deeper into the design world because there is much to be inspired by. Do you have a favorite?

So I put together some of my favorite furniture and decor items all under $200 to share with you. If you're not familiar with Joss & Main,  their other family brands you may know are Wayfair, All Modern, Dwell Studio and Birch Lane. Which piece is your favorite? I have to say I'm a sucker for marble and brass so I'm really loving their Bubble Task Lamp :)

Black & White Lovin'

Black and white has never looked better. I have always been drawn to black and white decor because it can really go with just about anything and can have an edgy feel to it that I just love. I've come across a handful of black and white pieces that I'm dying to share with you -- if I can't have it all then I might as well share the wealth! No shades of gray here.

elliptic dining chair // $298 // anthropologie

framed print - abstract script // $79 //  west elm

kate spade saturday globe table lamp // $199 // west elm

kate space saturday dhurrie area rug // starting at $149 // west elm

black and white moroccan pouf // $495 //  serena & lily

nate berkus black triangle pillow // $24.99 // target

chloe armchair // bungalow 5

bridgeport dresser // $599 // home decorators 

hand stamped vases // $24 // west elm 

nixon alpaca throw // $295 //  jonathan adler

bone inlay side table // $598 // anthropologie

I can picture designing with these pieces in many different spaces. Sometimes designing a whole space with a black and white palette can look effortlessly sophisticated but you can't go wrong using black and white accents with splashes of color either. Which piece (and if you're like me, pieces) can you picture in your home? :)

In Love with Herringbone

I've always had a crush on this geometric pattern. It looks great on pretty much anything and I will prove it! It can be a lovely print on small linen napkins and even on a larger scale such as flooring. Here are some items that I've found online to show you how amazing this print can look. 

Herringbone Napkin Bundle / Anthropologie

Herringbone Wood Floors / Bloglovin.com

Decorative Pillow Cover 18x18" / LittleWoolf on Etsy

Merrit Indoor/Outdoor Rug / Lulu & Georgia

Galbraith & Paul Herringbone Pendant / Room & Board

Brahms Mount Herringbone Throw / Serena & Lily

Feather Shower Curtain / Serena & Lily

Herringbone Handmade Rug / Urban Outfitters

Alexa Bed / West Elm 

Parsons Wall Clock - Herringbone / West Elm

What do you think - are you loving this pattern as much as me? It's

quite a classic print that has been around for ages and I don't picture

it going out of style anytime soon - it truly is a timeless motif.

Design Styles / Traditional

Traditional design may not sound the most exciting and it may not always look it either but at the same time it can be timeless & beautiful. When thinking of traditional design you may think classic, timeless, warm wood tones, wainscoting, and a tailored look just to name a few. Some people may use this design style all throughout their home and others may like to mix in some other design elements like modern, contemporary, industrial, etc. What's great about either of those is that it's easy to do both and still look amazing with traditional design. Personally, traditional is not my taste but I love having a few classic pieces to work with. Here are some pieces that I've chosen with an overall traditional look. Which one is your favorite?

1. Aidan Gray Furniture Paris Salon Chair / Layla Grace

2. Alta Bed / Serena & Lily

3. Bennett 6-Drawer Dresser / Room & Board

4. Brazoria Floor Lamp / Living Spaces

5. Francesca Bar Stool / Pier 1 Imports

6. Hand Tufted Doria Rug 5'x8' / Nuloom

7. Paidge Sofa / West Elm

8. Polished Bud Vase Set / Mark & Graham

 9. Sunbrella Devin Ikat Indoor/Outdoor Pillow / Pottery Barn

10. Traditional Amber Glass Hook / Restoration Hardware
