love it, live it: west elm lounge

Fall lounge inspired by West Elm.  

Bold color pallet with clean lines and inviting textures.

west elm october 2016...

oh so squealishly good!

A few of my favorite pieces from the new season at West Elm:

This Oversized Geo throw in Dark Mandarin looks so cozy and classic, rather Hermes'ish.

Lola (love the name) Tufted Sofa is glam in style and mod in color.

I am loving the bronze legs on the Mid-Century Dining Chair and the Astek Collection Wallpaper in Green Quartz Stone would tickle even Tony Duquette's fancy.

"Posh Poufs" indeed!  Mongolian Lamb Stool

Glass, Brass, Bronze, Velvet, Turquoise...LOVE!

Luxe Gold Cork Wallpaper.

Graphic cool, Brass Geo Inlay Storage by Roar + Rabbit.

Linen is my go to for bedding, but a Silk Velvet Duvet Cover for winter, Oh Yes!

Navy, grey, brass and copper; a warm Mod-Glam.

The Uptown Table and Chair are fantastic pieces, but the Gershwin credenza is a true showstopper.

Gotham Armoire, enough said.

The best thing about high ceilings, the Drape Pendant.

The Origami Leather Sofa is like the perfect black leather jacket.

Bravo West Elm, Bravo!

squealishly good today: 13 lbs. of ruby red grapefruit and west elm belgian linen

There are not many things that could prompt a squeal of joy from me on a day where our high temperature is forecast to be 1°, but a 13 lb. box of Texas Ruby Reds at Wally World for $3.50 and the new Belgian Linen at West Elm, induced two squeals!

It is a known fact that I think a Master Bedroom should be simple, sexy and serene.  Simple; not a lot of pattern.  Sexy; texture, texture, texture.  Serene; soft color.  The new Belgian Linen Bedding from West Elm provides all of the above.  The 100% linen from Belgian flax has a color-washed look and gets softer with every wash.  Seriously, is there anything sexier than bedding that looks lived in?  Stuffy, stiff comforters and bedspreads, eh, not so much...

These are my favorite colors:

Natural Flax

Platinum

White

Pale Harbor

Slate

This new line consists of Duvet Covers and Shams (including Euro), as well as Quilts (my choice for summer) and Quilted Shams.
