I'm in LOVE!

......with a coffee table!

This weekend, my husband and I went to Lee Lighting in Huntersville on a mission to pick out new light fixtures for both the outside and inside of our home.  Our electricican Bobby recommended the store, and I'm glad he did.  Not only did we find all the fixtures we were looking for, but I found this beautiful coffee table as well!

The scale and size is perfect for a large couch, and the detailing on the legs and frame is incredible.  I love the mirrored glass top, and the fact that there is also a lower glass shelf as well, with an interesting X detail.

Did I mention that I got this little beauty for 50% off? Apparently like once or twice a year, Lee Lighting does a discount on all of their home furnishings and accessories.... anything with an orange sticker on the tag.  See the orange sticker?  Originally $684, we went home with this for $342--- a STEAL!

Comparable tables that I've been eyeing from Neiman Marcus and Horchow go for $1000+, so that made this table even more appealing..... and it also makes me even more in love with it!

If you have a Lee Lighting near you, definitely check it out---it's worth it.  I'll be sure to post pictures of the table once we finally move in and situate it in our living room.... I can't wait :)

Pops of Coral: Tobi Fairley living room

I came across this room, and it totally caught my eye.....

Amazing, right?  Another successful interior space by famed designer Tobi Fairley.  I love the grosgrain ribbon detailing on the sofa.... it's so fresh!  Also, it's ingenious the way she tied in the graphic wallpaper with the trim on the drapes.  And don't even get me started on the table....love!

Wordless Wednesday: My Space Obsession

Hollywood Regency Faux Bamboo Chairs

I have an unhealthy obsession with hollywood regency-inspired bamboo chairs as of late.  I LOVE the look of them, especially when they are painted white or some other bright fun color.  Originally, I was dying to have some in my kitchen (I thought it would look really cool with my whole grey and white marble classic theme), but you would not believe how hard it is to find counter height chairs in faux bamboo.  *SIGH*.

 

 

So now my new idea is to procure some of these (2 I guess?) for my sunroom.

I really like this look... two chairs painted white, grouped together with an occasional table, accented with nice fluffy modern pillows :)  I hoping that I can also fit a full size chaise in the sunroom as well.

Chinoiserie chairs and accents are a huge part of Art Deco and Hollywood Regency style, and have been making a big comeback in the design world recently.  This is making scoring vintage versions of these styles exceedingly difficult to find (at least, not at an affordable price).  Etsy has been a decent resource, but the chairs are usually sold in sets of 6... and I only want TWO.

 

My favorite styles by far are the arm chairs with the slightly curved back, like these:

I'll keep you posted..... hopefully I find some that I fall in love with soon :)

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY : Design Inspiration

A DIY Halloween

One of my best friends, Christy, is obsessed with Halloween.  Don't get me wrong, I'm on board with any holiday that involves free candy.... but I just don't believe in going out and spending hundreds of dollars in order to decorate for Halloween.  I know I'm not alone either, because you are seeing more and more DIY decorations this year.  Here are some of my favorite spooky (and luxe!) decorations that you can make yourself!

Aren't these little DIY decorations too cute?  I love how creative, cost-effective, and easy they are to make!  The craft supplies are easy enough to find, and if you're a die-hard DIY-er you probably already have most of them :)  If anyone else has any DIY Halloween decoration projects that they've come up with, please share!
