Dining Al Fresco

I've got an exciting dining alfresco styling opportunity coming up! I can't wait to set up my outdoor dining space and relax with friends before the summer is over. I love the laid back California vibe of Nicole Richie's Hollywood Hills home. Little white cafe lights and sparklers? How fun!!

 find all the details here.

Shelter Loves

Happy Wednesday!  Here's what is on my radar this week!!

1. Sienna's hair looks adorbs. I need to perfect this look!
2. I'd live in these Loeffler Randall designed boots.
3. Drooling over Aerin Lauder's lighting collection for Circa Lighting. This beauty would work well in my new living room design.
4. Yum, I might now love the thought of chilly weather but I do love to cook in the Fall.
5. I can't wait to move into my new abode...I'll be sure to host a house warming party inspired by this fabulous bubbly bar!

Aerin Lauder

I love entertaining and dream of hosting a party one day with an evening of good food, music and a long beautifully decorated table much like these!! Feast your eyes on my recent favorites! 

Can Aerin Lauder do anything wrong design wise lately? I think NOT! I'm excited to pre order her new book.The inspiration for my new home is sort of going to be a cross of New England classic with laid back Cali cool. Yikes, painting is almost done. I'll share some quick pics of the colors next week!

Holiday Table

I can't drop gobs of money on holiday decorating but I adore a gorgeous holiday table. I find if you take a great idea and multiply it by many the effect is fantastic! Case in point is the idea below which I discovered on Design Love Fest and was devised and created by the Bash Please girls. This idea is
simple, creative and impactful! Read more about the details and how to pull it together yourself here. 
This would make a perfect piece for a buffet table and at a smaller scale and lower height the dining table. If you weren't up for or didn't have time to paint the holiday balls with color, I think it would look just as snazzy with various sized silver or gold balls!

Cocktails Anyone?

Come Friday I'm usually ready for a heady cocktail. Oh, don't get me wrong I hit the red wine mid week. ;) All kidding aside, I love setting up a home bar. They're sexy and functional plus I'm a sucker for a stylish vignette. Read on for my bar cart round-up. Whether you want brass, nickel, black, white or something in between there are a slew of bar carts out there. I also love the idea of lacquering a vintage bar cart in a fun color like say, hmm emerald maybe.

Loved this segment on One King's Lane, the ever glamorous Mrs. Lilien share's her tips for setting up your bar. Read it here.

Or maybe you're not up for a bar cart, any great table top will do! Here's a great, styled one by Ruthie Sommers.

Happy Weekend, Happy Cocktails. xx
