HGTV Dream House Great Room

So what can you learn from looking at this great
Great room?

Let's to go through the space and talk about
what design principles you can use from this example.

In the above photo the furniture is gathered around the
center of the room facing the fireplace which
is the focal point of the room.
It creates a wonderful conversation area.

1. Converstion Area (the furniture is balanced in the space)
2.  Three Lamps in a triangle pattern.


3. Similar Patterns and Colors throughout the space.


4. See how the Rug anchors the furniture.


5. Natural Elements
(flowers, apples)


6. Notice the Different Textures on the table...
wicker basket, the wooden boxes
as well as the shiny glass candlesticks. 
And of course books...I love books in a room.


7. Fabric
(the different toss pillows)


8. Staggering the heights of the items on the coffee table
makes it more pleasing to the eye.



See how you can take ideas from this beautifully designed
 Dream Home and use a few in your own home!!

Las Vegas World Market


So last week I had to sneak away to Las Vegas for a day to go to the furniture show.  I had some ordering to do and a few projects to hunt for.  There were some great new pieces so it was worth while.


Love these new hanging lights... must find a spot to use them.  They are made here in California by hand!



Perfect art for one of my projects!!  It is so nice to find something that works so well!




Another super cool grouping of lights!


Sorry for the blurry photo (I was low on batteries) but this table is great because it is taller than your average barrel style table.  Perfect for a side table.



NEED these!


The Iris wall lights- totally cool!



A great view of the large Bling Chandelier.



It was nice to see Bliss Studio in person.



I love the chests with the mirror inserts.



I ordered some of these pillows for jobs and a few for my son's bedroom.
 They are perfect in Orange and Grey!
Love this chair.

Apparently lighting in multiples was the thing to do (or maybe it is just one of my favorites).  I love love this.





These are so cool as a low profile dining chair for a different look.  


It was a quick trip but I found what I needed and had a little time to shop in the hotel which was nice.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Ochre Lighting..







I am 100% in love with the new pieces from Ochre.  I have this thing about unique lighting, I love it, it is the thing that I think can really make a room.  Lighting is like the amazing pair of shoes you put with jeans and a sweater to make your outfit a little extra ordinary.

Grey Modern





When I saw these I was smitten, the clean lines and cool colors are so soothing!  I love the sliding interior doors in that hallway too.  Wishing you a wonderful Sunday.  I am off to the flea market to see what's been going on without me for the last month or so.  Next week is another busy week so I have to rest up.

Don't miss our Rocq Macaron giveaway!!!

LA Mart discoveries...






We headed up to LA for a quick day at the Mart last weekend and found a lot of fun goodies!  I feel in love with the new lamps from Jamie Young.  The glass pieces are amazing!  I want the lamps in the first picture, I just love the color and texture..






Eloquence is always one of my favorites and they had a new larger showroom which was so nice to see everything together.  (note: my Vespa is still available)




We headed upstairs to Bassman Blaine a great way to see some of my favorite lines in one place.  That art is perfect for a job I am working on!  This is just a little peek.  I know it is not the same as going to New York or Atlanta (they are on my list for later this year) but it still does inspire!
