Brass is back!

I know!  I've been trying to fight it, but brass is definitely back in a big way in home furnishings.  This is definitely not the 80's shiny brass or the antique brass, but a soft, colored brass.  I'm working with a client now who is loving the brass for her lighting and I couldn't be more excited to see it all come together.  Here's a little sneak peak of what we are loving today...

 

In addition to lighting, I found these other beauties online today that I had to share...

If you are ready to add a little brass into your life...give me a call!

Chez Sois {take four}

I'm so excited how things are coming together at my Chez Sois project.  I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's inside a beautiful light fixture!  Each piece of lighting was carefully selected and reflects everything my client wanted for her new house - feminine and classic.  Here are just a few of the final choices...

Cabinets and counters have been finalized and will be installed in just a few weeks.  We're doing something unique to me for the master bathroom - ordering the cabinets online.  The vanity layout is pretty simple and it's saving over 50% from having it custom-made.  Thank goodness our contractor used to be a cabinetmaker, so I'm pretty confident he can make it work and look great!

We found this little beauty for the powder bath vanity.  It has beautiful deep blue veining that will be perfect with what we are doing on the walls.

My client has this amazing rug, which will bring in some much needed life in an otherwise simple foyer.  Now, to find the perfect entry table.

I'm also pretty excited about these beautiful door hardware we are doing throughout.  Another forgotten place to add a great detail!

Finally, here's a sneak peak of what we are doing in the master bathroom.  I can not wait!

For the first time, my client is leaving for a long vacation in the middle of a renovation.  She is trusting me to be her eyes and ears and I'm totally up for the challenge.  

What is Luxe?

I've been seeing the term luxe tossed around the interior design world a lot lately.  I wasn't sure exactly what it meant, but thanks to Google, my initial thought was right.  Luxe means luxury, elegance and sumptuousness.  We can all use a little more of that in our lives, right?  

A little too much luxe for me, but it sure is beautiful!

Just enough bling and would great in lots of different rooms.

Lots of sofa pillows create a wonderful feeling of luxe.

A curved chest, with a gold finish is perfect for an entry foyer or by the bed.

Everything about this headboard is luxe...the shape, the nailheads, the fabric.

There's nothing more luxurious than a beautiful set of sheets.

You can even add a little luxe on your table with these napkin rings.

Embroidered pillows are an easy way to add a little luxe to a bed or sofa.

Nothing says luxury more than a gold lamp.

A Venetian style mirror...my favorite!

If you are ready to add a little luxe in your house, give me a call!
