Anthropologie for the Win

April 22, 2015

Happy hump day everyone! I happened to be going through some photos saved on my computer and found so many items from Anthropologie that I'm in love with. I've always loved the eclectic/boho/relaxed style that Anthro brings to the table. Lucky for you guys, they are all still available on their website -- I added a few new items I found while browsing the website. I swear if I could afford to purchase everything I wanted from Anthro it might be quite dangerous. Here are some of my favorite finds:




1) Yalova Duvet Cover / In love with the motif on this duvet. Lay a solid 
colored coverlet on top like pictured above and it balances out all the 
pattern and texture to create a look that's jumping into bed worthy.




2) Hexagonal Mirror Shelves Set of 2 / Loving the antiqued mirrored look on these
two cuties. They are just as pretty as functional.




3) Flutura Pouf / I just love poufs. They're so versatile -- great as an ottoman
to keep your feet up or use as extra seating when you have company. 




4) Kansai Bookcase / It's not everyday that you can find an attractive circular
bookcase (if you have, I'd love to see!). 




5) Resin-Coated Pine Side Table / My heart tends to gravitate towards raw, 
natural, handmade pieces so of course I had to add this cute-as-heck
stool/side table to the list. The resin added to the raw wood adds such character
and each is one-of-a-kind. 




6) Sundial Mirror / This round brass mirror is 36in in diameter -- perfect for an entryway, 
over a sofa or bed, or to fill that empty wall space that you have no idea what to do 
with. I'd say this could be used in a bathroom as well over a vanity. It sure does add
instant style -- so many options to choose from! Where would you put it?




7) Bangala Armchair / Black and white patterns are also a weakness of mine ever
since I can remember. I love the large and small mix of pattern and the natural looking,
tapered legs that fit the style of the chair so well. This is one of those "one day" pieces for me.




8) Textured Stillwater Rug / Finding a shag/textured rug in a soft natural color can be easy, but finding "the" rug is a whole different story. This rug is so simple yet adds an instant 
design element and having something cozy and stylish to step on in your home
isn't a bad thing either!




9) Embroidered Medina Curtains / You can't see the detail all that well in this photo but it 
is definitely worth taking a second look on the website. Turquoise motifs are quite my 
thing, especially when they are handwoven. They also come in a white embroidery 
that I can see being just as gorgeous, too! But I just love a splash of color and curtains are a good place to bring that in and tie together a space.




10) Deco Inlay Nightstand / Another one of those black and white motif situations -- can
you blame me? The odd shape of this nightstand is what draws me to it even more. 
I can picture this piece in a living room set up as well. 




11) Geometria Wall Clock / I love turquoise. The patina look of this clock interests me.
It's beautiful and functional!






Hope you enjoyed this eye candy as much as I did! Stay tuned for my next post on what
outdoor pieces you are going to want this summer. Follow me on my instagram for more inspiration @laurenmaiorana :)

In Love with Herringbone

September 15, 2014

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.

Greek Key: Trendy Yet Timeless

February 15, 2014



Greek key has been around but it has never looked so chic. Technically it has two meanings - A decorative border constructed from a continuous line, shaped into a repeated motif and the symbol of eternal love, life and friendship. The traditional greek key motif may vary from item to item but once you see it, it will stand out to you. Greek key looks fabulous on pretty much anything you can think of when it comes to your home - bedding, curtains, accent pillows, furniture, shower curtains and even wastebaskets...yes, really! Here are some of my favorite greek key items that you can currently find online. Even though this is a trendy pattern, when done the right way in your home you can create a chic yet timeless look. Enjoy!!



I'm loving this light blue throw blanket & it's super soft, too.
