Where do they lead?

Wow, packing and moving is for the birds! All of the chaos in my life right now has me constantly asking, "where will I be, and where am I going?" Which lead me to today's post. I love stairwells. The stairwells below all tell a story and create a feeling of anticipation to whatever lies at either end. They really serve as a bridge from one area of your home to the next. They should not be overlooked! Don't let your stairwells be neglected! Art, lighting, and of course a fabulous runner can spice up any plain ole stairs!

The Ultimate Indulgence

Leontine Linens in New Orleans is the most amazing linen and monogram boutique in the world. The attention to detail on every monogram is truly amazing. It is so reminiscent of the beautiful antique linens that are becoming much harder to find. I posted a few of my favorites. Is it bad that I now want to monogram everything that is fabric in my house?

I am obsessed with Madeline Weinrib!

Since I mentioned Madeline Weinrib in my last post, I had to do a little blog post about her amazing line of pillows and rugs! She pretty much brought Ikat back! I dream about owning some of her pillows...especially the bolster at the bottom...$900.00 retail! Whoa, maybe in my next life!

Score!

Check out my new purchase! I love it! Thanks to Etsy my sofa will now have a little more sass! It was totally affordable! Madeline Weinrib...way out of my price range!

I am obsessed with Bobo Intriguing Objects!

I am totally obsessed with Bobo Intriguing Objects! They have such a unique perspective! It is antique and bohemian, but there is also something classic about their pieces, too! I have posted just a few of my favorite things. Enjoy!

Bitter Sweet....

So I know y'all are probably wondering where I've been?! Well, a lot has been going on in my crazy life! Work has been super busy. I cannot wait to post the pics of the job we are about to be wrapping up! It turned out beautiful! Yay! But, in bitter sweet news, I think our house has sold! I have total mixed emotions about it. I loved our little midtown bungalow, but it is time to move on. I guess it all works out, I was getting tired of my decor anyways! So in homage to our first house, here are some pics...again! I promise to post more this week!

I'm Crazy About...

Decorative Boxes! I think these are my new favorite accessory for your home, or office for that matter. Not only are they crazy stylish, but they serve more than one purpose. I have posted a few of my favorites below.

The two photos above are from Plantation. I love agate box at the top, it would look beautiful in a bookcase, or on top of a white lacquer parson table. The bottom set are great too. I love green and could def use these on my chest in my foyer!

These two are from Global Views, and are faux malachite! The silver bamboo detail is very chic! Did I mention these can be used as jewelery boxes too!

The traditional boxes above are always a classic accessory for your home. Even though they are on the more traditional side, don't be afraid to place them on top of a Lucite cocktail table next to a stack of glossy coffee table books, and a chunk of brain coral...resin of course. They are perfect for storing ugly electronics. These two are from Maitland Smith, available at Villa Dauphine.

Other great options from Global Views. These are also available at Villa Dauphine.

And last, but not least, Jaime Young's Mother of Pearl boxes. I love these to death! I would love to have a set of these to go on top of my dresser to hide my "stuff".
