Vintage Gold Wheat Sheaf Tables

Lately I've been seeing more and more 

GOLD WHEAT SHEAF TABLES

popping up in design magazines and the blog-o-sphere 

(see yesterday's post and this post).

In France, wheat is a symbol of prosperity and wealth.  CoCo Chanel used wheat motifs throughout her 31 Rue Cambon apartment, including a gold wheat sheaf table:

After a little research, I found a few vintage pieces, mainly from the 40's-60's. 

Look how glam this cocktail table is:

So pretty and perfect for Fall!

White After Labor Day

Who says you can't wear

  WHITE AFTER LABOR DAY?

These rooms have me wishing I could curl up with a good book and await the cooler weather...

Feminine Bedroom: So Fresh and So Clean Bedroom

If I was a single gal, my bedroom would be light, feminine and 

SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN.

Every room needs a little animal something or other and this fur throw does the trick (this is a much better option than the taxidermy peacock on the nightstand.  That may be a little too Alfred Hitchcock in the wee hours of the morning...).

Perfect Pair: Grey + Gold Details

Adore me some 

GREY AND GOLD DETAILS.  

Who said you can't mix warm and cool tones?

Summer to Fall Transitional Style

Happy September!  

Now, more than ever, I am dreaming of slightly cooler temperatures 

and keeping an eye on those mountain leaves, hoping for a glimmer of autumn...  

Until then, I have great images like this to 

TRANSITION FROM SUMMER TO FALL.
