Objet D'art: Horse Book Ends

While perusing Etsy's vintage section the other day, I came across these little beauties:

Ever since, I've been coming across chic horse head bookends every where I turn.

I could see this design trend being something both Kelly Wearstler and my cowboy princess of a Grandmother would a approve of!  What do you think?

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?

Kitchens Conundrum: Black vs. White

Along with gallery vs. shelf art displays, another design dilemma is deciding between black and white kitchens.  Now, I'm not to the point in my life where I'm having to design my own kitchen, and thank goodness! I would never be able to decided what I want more-- a stunning black glam kitchen...

...or a polished clean white kitchen...

Which look do you prefer?

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?
