Can This Be Made Into A Room? Victoria Bojarskaja
I love this girl. The Lithuanian model, Victoria Bojarskaja, is just so gosh-darn beautiful! You know me, I had to turn my favorite pic of her into a room!
I started this room by finding the sofa equivalent of Victoria's top. The Celia sofa from MG+BW is the prefect match. Then for that fabulous necklace- it's such a gorgeous piece! I interpreted the long antiqued bronze chains as a heavily antiqued mirror and a statement chandelier made entirely of antiqued bronze chains (both from Arteriors). So fabulous, if I do say so myself!

I was going to turn this room into a living room, but then I thought, why not go crazy and make it a dining room? I have always wanted to use a full-length sofa in a dining space and where better to test it out than here? I would add a stunning Art Deco table circa 1940 (1stDibs). I know I say every style is my favorite style, but Art Deco is my first and foremost love, especially French Art Deco. It's the perfect transition between traditional and contemporary. Adore. For the other seating around the table I would add some upholstered chairs in a linen (Overstock). If you need dining chairs I HIGHLY recommend these. Amazing quality, amazing price! They are what I have around my own dining table, actually. Add a sideboard (Baker) in a parchment finish under the mirror, accessorize with some vintage Dorothy Thorpe glassware (Etsy) and a funky bronze sculpture (Arteriors), and you have a completed statement formal dining room. Tre Chic!

Design Crush: Jeff Lewis
Tile, plumbing fixtures, lighting fixtures, sinks... I've been up to my ears with all of these for the past week or so. I'm working on a really fun home that is currently under construction and I've come to appreciate how the small details in a home can really make or break the ambiance. The home is more of a 'Modern Craftsman' style and I can't help but think, "What would Jeff Lewis do?"
The master of contemporary chic has definitely been a design influence in my life. The snarky and OCD Bravo reality star sure knows how to make a utility space not only functional but amazingly beautiful at the same time. Take a look at some of my favorites:
I just die over that light fixture. Jeff had it imported from Germany, but I've been on the lookout for an American equivalent. Another thing I hope to own before I die.
The above and below images are not kitchens or baths, but they are so gorgeous I couldn't leave them out!
Notice how all the kitchen cabinets go all the way up to the ceiling. I think this is key in kitchen design. It makes your kitchen look more grand and substantial, adds more storage space (and who doesn't need more of that), and gets rid of those awkward spaces that temp people to fill them with fake ivy and ceramic roosters.
Is that a globe pendant light I see? This guy has amazing taste!

I'M FEELING A LITTLE FLAKEY
Well, it's official. Even though the calendar doesn't say it's winter for a few more days,
the first real flakes of snow haven fallen just enough
to paint a white washed effect
all over the landscape in my town.
Oh, I'm getting that feeling
That flake-y little feeling
to paint a white washed effect
all over the landscape in my town.
Oh, I'm getting that feeling
That flake-y little feeling
Winter is here
and it feels really sweet this week before Christmas
So...whether your flakes are
Pipe Cleaners
Wax
Glitter
Paper
Doilies
Yarn
or Felt
Even if the MEN in your life
seem a little more FLAKE-Y
at this time of year,
I hope you enjoy some snow
when the first flakes fly this holiday! ...even if it is the sweet kind
