Modern Kitchen Design: Canadian House and Home

I have had a major crush on this MODERN KITCHEN for awhile now.

I failed to figure out how to post the video tour so this link will have to suffice:

Fashion Essentials: Gingham Shirt

The Autumn bug has really started to kick in this week. I know, I know, it's barely mid-August, but hey, some stores already have Christmas decorations out. Now THAT is crazy. To get my Autumn fix in (without looking too out-of-season) I grabbed a new GINGHAM SHIRT this past week:

So I can style this top for now...

...or later...

Let's take a look at how other modern sophisticates styled their gingham for Summer:

...and for Fall...

Gorgeous gingham isn't just for fashion either. Take a gander at these gingham interiors:

How would you incorporate gingham in your life??

Perfect Pair: Pumpkin + Bright White

Fall is undoubtedly my favorite season. It's around this time of year I feel the itch for cooler weather and autumnal tones. What better way to transition from Summer to Fall than by pairing

pumpkin oranges with bright white?

Have a marvelous weekend!!

Timeless Black & White Stripes

Nothing is as classy and timeless as a black and white stripe. Nothing.

Ok, so the last image isn't striped but it seemed fitting, no?

While I'm Out...

This week is nothin' but work, work, work... not fun. I hope I get around to post at least 3 times this week and until then, here's another sneak peak at another client's room-in-progress:

Nothin' wrong with a lil' pink leopard, now, is there?

House Crush: Domicile Interiors Apartment

You may have come across the home of Jolene Ballard of Domicile Interiors before, but it is too gorgeous not to re-post. The retro-meets-feminine-modern is TOTALLY my style, (if I was a single gal. Not that my husband for ban pink walls and milk glass vase collections, but I try to be considerate that our home is his space too). Most of the pieces are either vintage finds or custom made, to really reflect Jolene's personal style. This home is banana-crazy beautiful.

Jonathan Adler Channing Collection

Now that I purchased a desk for my living room, I have started focusing on the finding the perfect credenza to coordinate. I've scoured 1st Dibs (you know it's my favorite!) and other high-end furniture websites looking for a vintage-y but not too traditional and not too modern credenza. I was actually sitting at a park up the canyon yesterday afternoon when I stumbled across this little guy from Jonathan Adler on my iPhone:

Perfection.

Unfortunately, the price is not perfection. My plan is to recover from the latest curtains+desk+(hopefully)chair purchases and then custom build a credenza quite similar to this to keep costs down (maybe twice as long with 4 doors?? Hmm...). Until that great day happens, here's a look at the coordinating pieces to Adler's stunning Channing collection to dream about:
