{colour inspiration: driftwood}

. . . soft summer skies and the nostalgia of worn floorboards, quiet glimmers of crystals on a chandelier, a sequined wrap or a mirror -- on this early may afternoon, daydreams are filled with the warm, seaside shades of driftwood . . .

{two lovely things: gold + geometric}

Always drawn to gold in interiors, especially in geometric patterns such as this beautiful wood and metal shelf {above} and hand-forged gueridon table with gold gilding {below}, perfectly matched with a swing-arm sconce and brass shade . . .

{beauty sleep}

. . . running stunningly low on beauty sleep, but lovely to busy and caught up in the excitement of it all . . . not certain if it's the amazingly calming colour palette, but couldn’t imagine a more lovely place to lay luxuriously about . . .
