Look Linger Love

In my mailbox over the weekend.  West Elm continues to bring it with pretty patterns.

We’re all obsessed with all things brass these days…  I mean how many times have you seen this image?

Well here ya go, the Brass Tiered Pendant Shade.  Perfectly chic aaaand it’s just $64.  No lie.

Put it up in a reading nook, a closet, your kitchen, whathaveyou.  You’re welcome.

Remember my recent post about how I like to carry “diaper” bags that don’t look like diaper bags?  Well shortly after sharing that post Bellisima Baby Bags contacted me about being a sponsor.  I was obviously hesitant, but after taking a look at their site decided it was a good fit.  They have every kind of diaper bag you could possibly imagine (and all well sorted into categories so very easy to do a quick search), including these pretty handbag styles which I really like.

My new Society Social Draper table, that is….

I love her in all of her snakeskin goodness.  When I purchased The Draper I had full intentions of it living in Fletcher’s nursery.  In fact, it was one of the first things that I planned to put in there.  I pictured it growing with him and even heading to college with Fletcher when the time came — what a cool dude he’d be with a swanky bar cart (does that make me a bad mother?).  And it really is just amazing in his room, absolutely gorgeous.  But you know what the problem is?  It doesn’t fit.  Try as hard as I can, I just can’t squeeze it in.  So now she’s living in our family room where we all get to enjoy her.

I had fun dressing it up with my new Sally Benedict face painting and Kate Stevenson abstract.  Of course the cheeky ceramic monkey, Tilly Maison lucite tray, and Design Sponge book don’t hurt her looks either.  I stacked up a collection of Charleston Magazines for some extra color below.  {By the way, if you’re not reading Charleston Mag you really should be.  And excitement alert – – – They’ve asked me to contribute in a really fun way starting in just a couple of weeks.  I’ll be sharing more details on this collaboration very soon.}  Back to the Draper… over the table hangs a street scene painting that Josh and I purchased in the French Riviera a couple of years ago along with a Mike Miller for West Elm silhouette piece (do ya’ll remember that collaboration?).  Oh, and that little black and white vase was one of my Missoni for Target scores.
