SUPER Glamourous French and Shabby Chic furniture

Posted by Mr Wong at 8:32 AM 1 comments

You'll love this shop I'm sure - Sweetpea and Willow, in Ireland and London, has so many gorgeous things I could furnish my whole house with their stuff!

Okay - this bed. I LOVE that the opulent white wash frame is paired with a modest gray linen. Seriously I might have to get this bed one day.

Isn't this the cutest chair?

What do you think? Think you could find a thing or two you like?

I was introduced to this store by the owners and I was really, really impressed when I looked at the website. They obviously have really great taste as anyone can see by their collection of found and vintage pieces - and some of their own designs! (Talented hubby even builds some of the furniture!}

Their philosophy is one I like as well - "We believe that homes should be a cultivation of things you love and need and we take that approach in finding our products. Our focus is on community and sustainability so we try to source as much as possible from small, u.s. companies and many of our furniture pieces are made from salvaged wood or repurposed pieces."

Below I've pulled a few of my favs. They also carry a lot of smaller home goods - candles, pottery, tea towels, etc.

What do you think?

Go see more at Redefine Home.

You won't believe where these beautiful rooms are from!

I was shocked - really - when I opened up the most recent issue of the Ballard Designs catalog. They've really upped the ante on their styling. It's relaxed and glamorous at the same time. (Click on each image for a larger view)

Love cream and light blue

I like the Moroccan style rug in the picture above. They have it in a couple other colors as well.

I like their home office setups

So what do you think?

Tips to get a "Modern Cottage" look

Posted by Mr Wong at 1:52 PM 0

I love these tips from The Inglenook Decor on how to create a modern cottage.

1. Have a neutral back drop. Go for creams, white, beige, gray (like the one shown below), clay, sage & light browns.

2. Choose furniture pieces that are fuss-free. Go for clean lines & comfort. Make it livable & cozy like upholstered furniture whether it's the sofa, dining chairs or a headboard.

3. Have white....lots of it! This picture says it all, white is not boring if you choose the right pieces.

4. Have at least one piece, a wall or a window with a bold pattern & color. Bright orange & greens seem to go real well with white.

5. Have a ledge display of your flea market finds.

6. Add ultra modern pieces in steel, aluminum, brushed nickel or chrome pieces. And last but not the least,keep it simple!

Pretty good tips huh?

The site also has lots of cute accessories to create looks such as "French Country," "Modern Vintage," "Rococo," and "Shabby Chic."

Love these tealights

These mercury bottles mix modern with rustic

Super cute and chic French finds...

I discovered this online boutique, French Freak, via House Beautiful. I'm sure you'll find something you love, and the prices won't make you wince either. I think this stuff is adorable!

This Eiffel Tower blind was what caught my attention when I saw it in House Beautiful

They have so many of those adorable bamboo mats with the old advertisements on them - so if you don't see one you like here check on their site.

Cute, huh?!?

Unique home decor and some good gift ideas!

Thought I'd share with you Inglenook decor, which I recently discovered. The shop looks like it has lots of pretty stuff for all decor styles - modern vintage, shabby chic, and lots of great Christmas gifts.

Here are some things I thought were particularly cute:
