Anthropologie 201...

Remember the lecture series I promised?  Let the lecture continue. Today Anthropologie will light up your living room {and life}. This post is all about tufts and weaves, upholstered goods, and window textiles.
This Battersea Sofette has all the tufts and charm your living room desires.
In case your sofa is lonely, here is a charismatic companion - the Conservatory Chair
Dress your window panes with glamour, these panels are unique and completely adorable: Adorations Curtain, Buttonwood Curtain, Deep Sea Curtain, Viceroy Velvet Curtain, and the Spiral Vine Curtain.
Though I am not easily won over by curtains (not usually my cup of tea, I admit), how delicious are those Deep Sea Curtains?!?!

Lovely imagery...

Mari Eriksson's photography is inspired.  Here is a sample of her beautiful images.
{Skona Hem first introduced me to Ms. Eriksson's talent.}

Lonny, Lonny, Lonny...

The new Lonny issue does not disappoint.  I am accustomed to leaving Lonny with hundreds of new resources, fistfuls of inspiration, and a visual {or several} worth sharing; today is no different.  The April/May issue of Lonny is especially dear to my heart because the pages are brimming with sustainable products {fitting for the first annual green issue}. 
Just a peak from the pages...
The amazing brick floors in this kitchen reaffirm my love for exposed, aged brick.
Pairing this {modern take on old charm} chair with this {worn and tarnished} stool is delectable.

Love and lust...

Today I fell in love at first sight and lust at first click.  Gazing upon the visual feast of inspiration at Vosges Paris, I fell instantly and madly in love.  Desiree has filled Vosges Paris with creative brilliance to nourish my design obsession {plus, she shares my love for perfect blue patio chairs}. 
As I was loitering on Vosges Paris, I wondered across this; the most amazing wallpaper by Studio Ditte, Sloophout Behang {Scrap Wood Wallpaper}.  This amusing interpretation of scrap wood furniture captures the character of perfectly aged salvaged wood.  Lust, pure lust.  Feature wall anyone?

Lovely imagery...

This afternoon Country Living UK introduced me to the photography of Hans Blomquist; here is a sampling of the lovely imagery {and flawless styling} from his portfolio.  Soak in the beauty.
Mr. Blomquist also has a collection of stunning outdoor vignettes.  {Notice my favorite blue chair!?!}

Table for two...

I have been scouring for the perfect pair of chairs for an intimate little table for two in my backyard; a place for morning coffee with just enough cream, tea steeped to perfection, and a glass of wine just as the sun falls below the trees. 
While leisurely sipping my soy latte, I found my perfect chairs in the most curious place - dangling on a wall.  I would like to unhook these chairs and anchor them just beyond my backdoor.

Sprawling home therapy...

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Charlotta Ward of Space for Inspiration.  There are so very many lovely things there, I had to steal {at least} one.
Originally featured on Apartment Therapy, this home in Laurel Canyon, California has little vignettes of perfection.  Here are my favorite shots of this sun-drenched space.
The walls in the dining room are alluring.
A crisp and fresh boudoir.
And the backyard I have always dreamed of {add a sprinkle of mason jar lanterns and I am in heaven}.
{My endless gratitude for the mention on Space for Inspiration.}

Refreshment from the barn...

There is a large, leaning, and heaping pile of glossy muses stacked on my table; mail order catalogues and a handful of magazines beckoning for my attention.  I will {eventually} peruse every page, but for now - enjoy this tease.  A refreshing delight from Pottery Barn, nothing exudes ambiance like ten globe light bulbs dangling from this Edison Chandelier.

Bedside manners...

This Painted Bombe Chest from And So To Bed is somewhat unexpected; classic with a hint of risk.  Love it.

Flushed and blushing...

Absolutely shaken and weak in the knees...this humble little blog was mentioned on decor8!  Truth be told, Holly {of decor8} was actually admiring all the deliciousness of greige, but elle oh was credited with the introduction. 
{Confession: I am just honored to be uttered in the same sentence as decor8 and greige.}

Dinner bell...

If this were my dining room, I would eat here, work here, and maybe even sleep here.

Moroccan muse...

Lately the Kingdom of Morocco has been inspiring products that make me swoon.  Here are a few products to ponder {and desire}...
Antique Moroccan Trays from John Derian Company.
A lovely peek at an antique tray paired with Moroccan inspired glassware from Tine K Home.
A versatile Moroccan Coffee Table from Cisco Brothers.
More muses from Tine K Home, intricate lanterns paired with amiable lounges.
Another lantern to brighten your space, the Tangier Hanging Lamp by Jayson Home & Garden.
Phillip Jeffries offers this Moroccan Wallpaper {in blue} to wrap your walls in exotic graphics.

Take a number...

Heather Lins Home has a handful of delights adorned with vintage typography.  The Numbered Edition Coasters are an amusing place to rest your drink{s}.
These timeless little delicacies were found on decor8.

Just a glimpse...

Today this {lovely} taste of a delicious space graced greige.
Christina Fluegge {of greige distinction} has graciously shared the genius of photographer Roland Bello.
