First, again, this post is not sponsored. I’m just really into what CB2 is putting out lately. Their stuff reminds me of Arteriors and not rip off copies of Arteriors. I will buy accessories from anywhere for a client. No snobbery here. But still it’s about the mix. It can’t all be retail, or trade, or antique. It has to be a combo of at least two of those.
This is the accessories/ lighting/ etc I’m loving. (If you purchase from here I don’t make any $$. This is only to share what I’m loving.) Click the images to see them on the site.
Exploring.
Combing the Decorative Center for fabrics & ideas can be incredibly inspiring. These are a few of my favorite things from my last trip.
I lovvvee that jewel tones & colors are coming back, even if they're accents on neutrals. Globe lighting from Donghia & the most amazing Lee Jofa Kelly Wearstler embroidered fabric. Amazing Jan Showers vignette at David Sutherland. Jan Showers upholstered has the best details! Pink & orange will always be my favorite. The most amazing console, took my breath away. It's Sutherland by David Sutherland. Spectacular. Trim adds incredible interest & detail to throw pillows. My all time favorite chair, the Donghia Odeon Club Chair. It's super comfy while still being sleek.& yes it seems I'm blogging again! I meant to get this out earlier, but I'm out of habit. I have an incredible amount going on right now. Fall is the best {even though it's still 100+ here in Houston). I'm getting married! The wedding is planned for November 3rd, at our house. Small & intimate. I'll share more details here! Also we're finally getting some remodeling done on our house & I can't wait to share with you! What big plans do you have this fall? You know since September is the new January. :)
Easy Canvas Prints.
Easy Canvas Prints contacted me to see if I'd be interested in trying their products since they're in Austin & I'm in Houston, we're neighbors see. I've never had an image replicated onto canvas, but I've heard of the concept & have been curious. I decided to try it with a client since I'm out of wall space, bold & brave! After speaking with the company I felt confident that they would come through & they certainly did! I am amazed at how easy the process is & how quickly I received the canvas. In about a week after finally placing my order the canvas was on my doorstep!
I'm refreshing & updating the Delta Gamma sorority house at the University of Houston. One of our main goals was to add more DG to the main floor of the house. They didn't have a painting or even a picture of the founders anywhere to be found. In comes Easy Canvas Prints. With lot's of patience on their part (sometimes designer's can be so difficult;)), I finally decided on the image & edited it onto the size of canvas I wanted on their website. It's so easy!
My favorite part is that the image wraps around the edge of the canvas! It looks so high-end. Everyone loves it. Really I can't believe it was so easy & the product is actually great. That is so rare! I would use Easy Canvas Prints again in a minute. What do you think? You like it? I'm going to have full room shots soon (the ladies are preparing for recruitment, you know rush, now so I couldn't get a shot of the entire room. I can't wait to show you the whole project!
From time to time I'm contacted about an opportunity to try a product & review it. I honestly rarely take anyone up on these offers because most just don't seem to fit my business. I won't share anything with you that I wouldn't use for a client or in my own home.
