Trend Alert- Mixed Metals

Lately we've been seeing a lot of mixed metal finishes, and all I can say is, THANK GOODNESS!  If I ever do another satin nickel faucet, it'll be too soon.  Blah blah blah is what I think to matching everything.  This new look adds interest to your design, not to mention, a more eclectic look.  Nothing is more boring (in my opinion) than a bathroom with every last piece of metal having the same finish, and typically the plumbing and hardware are all matchy-matchy too.  

Sorry about the rant, but that is one thing I'm forced to do at work, match every last damn finish.  Even if the client doesn't want it, my boss insists because it's safe.  Ok I'm off the soapbox.  Now, let's see how designers are living out my dream of blinging it out to different finishes.....


Let's get things started off with John Legend's kitchen and those killer gold barstools...love everything about it.

I have no idea who lives here, but still a lovely living room.....

Loving these gold pendants! Kinda industrial in a pretty feminine kitchen, great combo!

This would be a great look in a hotel! 

This photo comes from the magazine House and Home, which is one of my favorites!  I really enjoy the U.K. Edition and highly recommend.  Anyway how amazing is this faucet?

Gimme Some Glitz

Every January I get a little down in the dumps, and I think it's everyone's blah month.  Your house looks bare from taking down the Christmas decorations, and you are just need some design TLC.  My quick fix is glitz!  I'm so into gold, it's getting ridiculous.  I think I'm channeling Liberace!  Anyway, not just gold, but sparkle in general, will be my happy escape until spring gets here. Let's channel our inner divas and get inspired....

Loving this for a mini bar-

Thanksgiving Table Design

Yikes Thanksgiving is only a couple weeks away, and I'm still in summer mode!  Halloween is so fun but such a wake up call.  Forget the feast, have you given any thought to how you will be decorating your thanksgiving table this year?  I'm personally thinking a sage runner with a little eggplant and gold accent.  Something similar to the photos below...



Yes I think that will be just fabulous.  But hey, that's just me.  Let's look at some other options for your holiday table.....

Love how they put it on a platform!  Simple, yet adds that something special.


Love the pine cones!  Could be the perfect gold accent I was looking for!



Oh this is beautiful! Spray paint twigs gold....love.
