Love the mix of old & new here.  Modern, antique, & ethnic- yet it all works together beautifully...{image via Rue Mag}

...universal neutrals...

...black, black, black!  The black wall trend has totally grown on me.  I really do think it's a great neutral to use which can create some serious drama & interesting vibes depending on how you use it.  Paired with crisp contrasting whites & textures above- it takes on a contemporary-romantic look....the universe on your bedroom walls sans the glow in the dark stars of course....xox

I have a serious crush on our neighbors chandelier....here are some of my favorites that most closely resemble their modern glass beauty....I picture dimly lit nights eating, drinking, & celebrating with close friends under one of these....cheers!

Love her eclectic style, but not sure about all the real fur & dead animals- think I'd spring for faux.  The bucket style chair made out of antlers is amazing- I have a feeling those aren't faux either though.

...falling...

Fall is upon us & winter is not far behind.  I long for the changing of the seasons now that I live in perpetual summer- nonetheless here are some of my seasonal favorites for throws.  Grab a good book, start a fire, drink some tea & cozy up- wishing I could.

...twisted sista'...

Twisted lights & bowls by Erwin Zwiers- the collection was introduced at the Elle Inside Design event in the Lloyd Hotel in Amsterdam.  These gorgeous forms are made entirely out of bent plywood!  They remind me of oyster shells- each one different from the next....love love...

...biarritz...

One of the most beautiful cities I've ever been to -situated conveniently on the sea- waves, baguettes, cheese, wine, & brimming with interior & architectural inspiration- doesn't get much better- can't wait for our adventure!

...leebroom...

ROOT hearts Lee Broom's decanter pendant lamps!  Undoubtably a "classic fusion of old & new"...xo

...from madrid with love...

My husband & I just returned from a trip to Biarritz France by way of Madrid & San Sebastian, Spain.  Although we didn't get to see much of Madrid I was blown away by the interior architecture of the Madrid airport...soft waves of bamboo panels on the ceiling offset by steel, cement, & glass below.  It really was a grand space with the high vaulted ceilings & beautiful light.  The airport was nearly empty on our initial pass through because of a worker strike in Spain so we really were able to get a good feel for the space.  I usually hate airports, but I loved this one....xox
