Shed {giveaway}

 

Our second gift in our Holiday giving series is from Shed...  I am super excited about this shop and their Moroccan silver pouf that they are offering!  

Shedopened in 2009 in Maplewood NJ. It is a tiny store packed with a lot of oomph!  They have a great mix of modern, vintage and the unexpected. This month they launched their website in order to have a larger store without additional square footage, each item in the shop is carefully selected to give your room that extra special something, that pop that we are all looking for!

 

 These are a few other goodies that I saw while shopping their site.  I WANT one of those sheepskins for my kitchen nook, it is perfect for on the chairs... a little bit fun// a little bit funky!

For your chance to win the silver Moroccan pouf just follow the steps on the widget at the end of this post.  A winner will be announced on November 29th!  Best of luck!

greige shops France...

 

As our sale draws near I have been going through all of the photos from our trip and falling in love with the pieces that we shopped for while we were in France.  It was a lot of work and I cannot wait to share the primped up version with you in a few days.  We found so many beautiful vintage pieces it is going to be hard to part with them!  This is just a little peek at the treasure.

Thank you again to Sharon at My French Country Home for a wonderful trip!

make a room out of it...

 

We have just added a bunch of great stuff into the shop... and I thought it might be fun to share a quick way to make a room from pieces in it.  It might also show you that I do have a rhyme and reason to the pieces that I hand select for the shop- I promise I do (!).  

 When I select piece for the shop I always try to mix it up a little of this and a little of that, things that would work well together.  I love interiors that are a little more relaxed that way and not to trendy one way or another.  It is fun to pick a bit of the latest trend and mix it in, but not necessary! And I am sure from reading the blog you know I love vintage so I always want a little bit of that in there too.. accessories, art, textiles furnishings, whatever catches my eye.

A little of this..

 

Hello there, sorry for my absence yesterday... how quickly the days seem to pass.  Another busy week is almost ready to be put to rest and I am definitely dreaming of the weekend.  This weekend will be just us girls relaxing here at home, my daughter and me.  I am excited to take a little break from work and spend some time getting the house in order.  

We start our final round on the kitchen renovation next week and I am excited and anxious about it.  There are still many choices to be made, that is how it is works around here.  I did speak with my furniture maker yesterday though and we are going to put a contrasting color in the new piece that will hold all of my everyday dishes, now someone needs to pick that color please!

I have pulled a bunch of greys, and greiges to start with.  I will be sure to keep you up to date on all of the selections.  

 I am also working with the wonderful Shari from Little Blue Deer on a makeover for the blog, it will be fun to have a fresh new look around here don't you think?

Also, a little bit of a delayed THANK YOU to Leaf Magazine for including some pieces from the shop in their current issue!

 

 

Modern country kitchen..

 

This is such a great kitchen.  I cannot decide if I like the lowered eating areas that are so popular right now off of the islands.  What do you think?  I think this one is well done and the stools make it!

On a quick note- I was so excited that Pinterest came out with their new IPad app- if you have not tried it you should, it is very wonderful!

 

Emporium Home {Atlanta show favorites}

While I was in Atlanta I was very excited to see some great new lines, new to me and some new to all.  Emporium Home was one of my favorites.  That table is to.die.for.  I love love it.  The dark top with the beautiful metal base is just beautiful, this photo does not do it justice!  I was so excited to meet Ashley the company's owner and designer.  She was super sweet, beautiful and talented, I was very excited to find out that she is also a greige reader.  Her designs range from furnishings, lighting, wall art and home accessories to jewelry.  Each piece was something unique, stylish and well designed.
 

 

This little table, the flirt side table, was my second favorite of the entire show.  I think I need one!

 My other must have item.  This pair of earrings!
