Joss & Main: Nantucket Inspiration

Being the partial New England girl that I am, I always have a love for seaside themed decor and furniture. This week Joss & Main is featuring designs by Erin Gates. Her style has a warm and inviting feel with a whole lot of the fabulous rustic beachy feel of a Nantucket cottage.

I don't think there was one piece I didn't love!

TRADHome

I'm so excited for TRADHome coming to us from the wonderfully creative minds behind LonnyMag.

If you haven't taken a peek yet, please do so asap! You will not regret it. It has an elegant flow and I fell in love within the first few pages. Here are some of my favorite spreads so far:

So scrumptiously gorgeous and bright, you have check it out now!

Raining Cats & Dog

So, I don't normally find myself attracted to such cutesy things but these pet pillows by Pillow Pillow Pillow are by far the cutest things I've seen in a while. They would actually look really nice in a variety of settings; children's bedroom, pediatric area, or even a funky/modern living space. If a couple is expecting, these pillows could also bring the sophistication down a notch, in space not necessarily designed with little ones in mind, without killing the entire mood.

Can you tell all of my favorites are the puppies?

Currently Loving...

Tony Duquette. His work has inspired many designers since 1935, when he was asked to design the interior of Bullock's department store, while still attending art school. Duquette's furniture and decor is still produced and sold via Baker Furniture and Remains Lighting and is currently being featured on One Kings Lane. His designs are truly one of a kind and are pieces you may have seen and without giving a thought as to who was behind them. Picture here are some of of his work that I find absolutely fascinating.

#1 Paris Snowflake Screens, #2 Macao Garden Seat, #3 Biomorphic Console, #4 Ghost Snail Light, 

#5 Arrow of the Sea

Duquette had such an eclectic style that it transcended from Asian, Indian, modern, and numerous other styles.

Collages + Collections = Grouped Art

I'm finding myself more and more attached to groups of framed art and collages on the wall more and more. For anyone with lots of photos, paintings, and personal items, a wall collage is the best solution to show case all of your favorite things.

Gives each space such an overall warm feeling, doesn't it?

Joss & Main

So, I got word from Ashlina over at The Decorista that there is a new One Kings Lane-type site out on the scene with the best deals you can find on designer goods and products and it's called Joss & Main.

Very excited to dive deeper but at first glance, the site has much to be desired. I love the layout; it is very cleanly designed with all the basic infomation (sale start and end dates, etc.) you need to get shopping, and ASAP! Currently they are representing sales from the likes of: Trina Turk Residential, Barclay Butera Lifestyle, and Laura Ashley, just to name a few.

Rue Mag (a.k.a. my latest obsessions)

"Flipping" though Rue always gives me a comforting feeling. I almost can't describe it. Every page just fills my mind with so many ideas, wants, and inspiration. It makes me feel, for lack of a better word, at home. When I got word via Rue's facebook this morning that the newest issue had been released, I couldn't wait to take the first glimpse! Here are my favorite articles and photos I found on my journey through issue #3:

First of all, this cover, perfectly laid out with an owl (my absolute fav) and evergreen trees to create this perfectly silhouetted wintery scene.

I am in love with this rustic and classic/clean look from Brook Giannetti. I love her story, as well. She is one of those lucky people born with the ability to design interiors.

Alison Sudol's home shows vintage sophistication and class. I am falling deeply in love with her style and her home, so I apologize in advance for posting basically the entire article here...

Because I am a big vinyl collector, this vintage record player is a key piece to any home. The rest of Alison's decorative accessories and collections are pure and homey, as she states in her article, as the best compliment she can ever receive.

Overall, the latest issue of Rue featured spreads with vivid, crisp photography, great fashion tips and fun little reminders that spring is coming with images of poppies and posies in bright yellows and pinks.

Top Picks: C&B Bright White Sale

As you may have received the catalogue from Crate & Barrel this month and thought, "there is no way I can afford any of this!" you might have been pleasantly surprised if you actually opened it, as I was. Here are my top picks from the Bright White Sale that cannot go unnoticed:

On the cover you may have seen these. C&B really thought ahead to spring/summer by adding these to the sale. Perfect for bringing the summer into your guest rooms.

Set the perfect place setting with open-stock Max dinnerware; great for mixing and matching.

Love this whole look, particularly the Addison Storage bench. Its the ideal size, color and shape for the entrance foyer of your home and the idea of shoe storage underneath is key.

Make sure you hurry, as the sale ends on the 31st of this month!
