another green chair

Remember my fabulous upholstery guy? 

Here is another fabulous creation thanks to his hands and some preppy fabric. This pretty chair is coupled with an equally preppy pillow. 

The room these beauties belong in is all finished, I just need to get over and shoot it. 

Coming soon, I promise! 

chalkboard table

Little Winston got a set of chairs for Christmas and of course he needed a table to go with them. He's just gotten into coloring so I knew chalkboard paint had to be the answer. I picked up a trusty lack table at ikea for a mere $7.99 and hit it with a can of chalkboard spray paint. 

Simple as can be. Every night we wipe the drawings (and crumbs) clean. It's been so much fun to see his little scribblings every day.

Lots and lots of beautiful stuff

I don't even know where to begin with my recap of Las Vegas Market. It was exhausting and exhilarating and inspiring all at the same time. My jaw literally dropped to the floor in a few of the beautiful showrooms and I'm happy to report that I found many new sources for furniture and accessories, and inspiration for DIY projects. I think my clients are going to be very happy. 

If you're looking to anticipate the trends, here is what I saw alive and well at market:

Industrial, Belgian rustic (think Restoration Hardware), collectibles and curiosities, sumptuous upholstery, nubby linen, geometric patterns, needlepoint, chinoiserie, weathered, metal, imports, colorful patterns, understated furniture.

I thought you readers would love to see what I saw in my few days perusing through hundreds of showrooms. I have a few posts planned about some of my favorite companies for later in the week so for now, just enjoy all the photos. 

Pretty Bird

Every day I find something new on etsy that I absolutely love. 

This alphabet of birds print definitely falls into that category. 

Aren't the vivid colors just lovely? 

Can you believe this needlepoint chair is from Sears? Seriously. I want one. 

modern kid's rooms

The fresh modern vibe of these two children's rooms has me high on pops of color and combinations of bold patterns. Aren't those graphic rugs fun? 

Viva Las Vegas

My little brain has just been trying to absorb all the loveliness and wonder my week at Market was. I came home with lots of new sources, ideas, and deals. I have lots to share coming later this week, but right now I have about 10 clients awaiting my attention. Stay tuned. 

New from Nate

If you need new bedding, look no further than Nate. He's been adding some new items to his line for HSN and I couldn't love them more. That lattice had me at hello. 

Cute yellow chairs

If you are in SLC and happen to need 4 adorable vintage yellow chairs, I have just the ticket. 

Available here. 

Elizabeth Kimberly Designs

Do you ever come across a room and have a sudden urge to know everything you can about the designer and every other space they've ever laid their hands on? Well, I've decide to share one of my secret sources of inspiration. Elizabeth Wixom of Elizabeth Kimberly Designs is a family friend of mine and I have been admiring her fresh style and flawless taste for years. She and her business partner Kimberly Rasmussen are quite the duo and you will love the classic but fresh feel of their beautiful spaces. I'm going to let these images speak for themselves. It's like Christmas morning when they update their portfolio.
