Sputnik Chandelier

I'm crushing on this 

SPUTNIK CHANDELIER 

 from Z Gallerie. And for only $299??

 Who said style had to cost a lot.

It's going in my wish list for my future home office.

 Love.

Rachel Zoe Fashion Office with WhoWhatWear

I go BANANAS over Rachel Zoe.  

I love her sense of glamour that is mainly based in 70's luxury brands.  

I would do just about anything to get into her closet but I'll have to settle for 

this photo shoot that takes a sneak peak into 

RACHEL ZOE'S FASHION OFFICE.

Have you died yet?  Don't worry. It gets better...

The above image is of her vintage archives. I. Die.

Ok, I really can't take the mass beauty of these shoes. 

 Let's switch over to the interior design aspects of the office before the drool literally streams down my chin.

Love those x-backed open shelves.

A vintage mirrored coffee table is a natural choice.

One day, I WILL have an office this gorgeous. One day...

Classic Bathroom Design

For some reason, I have been day dreaming about tile.  

Maybe because I am SOOO over my renter's linoleum that I'm forced to live with. 

YACK.  If I was able, I'd remodel with in a 

CLASSIC BATHROOM DESIGN

like this:

The husband even said he likes the floor tile!!

Now to figure out a way to install tile temporarily so I can get my deposit back...

Accordion Pleat Skirt

Happy November!! I die over this burnt orange 

ACCORDION PLEAT SKIRT

and think it would be perfect for these transitional days into cooler weather.

So chic. So effortless. So 70's.

I am presenting my first design-in-a-box today. 

Hope they love it and I can show you pics of the final product shortly!!

Chic Halloween Decor

It's finally here! I LOVE me some Halloween.  

In fact, it's my favorite holiday and I start celebrating mid-July.  

You think I'm kidding. I'm not. 

I did plan to have a weekly Halloween post throughout October but since my life got 

uber crazy, here is the most fabulous post with the most 

CHIC HALLOWEEN DECOR

I have ever seen.

Best. Holiday. Ever.

Have a haunting weekend!!

Guest Post: Modern Bar Carts and Accessories

Hi! My name is Jenn and I am a writer for Design Shuffle, a popular social media and networking website that follows the work of top interior designers and interior design trends worldwide. Every day I get to write about home decor and scour the web for inspiring websites, and one that I’ve had bookmarked for some time is The Modern Sophisticate, where the posts are beautiful and always creative.
I was so happy when I heard I’d be guest posting here today and blogging about 

MODERN BAR CARTS AND ACCESSORIES.

 Thanks for having me! 

 Sometimes what may seem like a small detail is actually the aspect of a space that truly defines it. Such is the case with modern bar carts and accessories. Streamlined and elegant, a well-stocked bar cart is not only welcoming but a stylish home decor idea too. Here are eight stunning modern bar carts and accessories.

   

 A bar cart in glass is ideal because it mimics the glass bottles it displays. Here, the lower shelf is used for liqueurs while the top half is a display shelf.

   

A brass bar cart is decked out with modern-day features like a built-in wine glass rack and bottle holder. The wall hanging and red chair give this vignette some colour and character.

   

This great room begs to play host - the stainless steel bar cart looks stately below the mounted ceramic deer head, and the adjoining kitchen design includes a sleek bar table with contemporary chairs.

   

 A trendy acrylic bar cart somehow fits in with this somewhat dated space - the chrome frame gives the piece loads of metallic allure.

   

This sterling silver gem, with glistening cocktail shakers and double wine buckets on the end of the cart, make for a distinguished modern bar cart and accessories.

   

Need dining room design ideas? An industrial-infused bar cart such as this is a great accent and usability to your dining room design.

   

What’s so interesting about this modern bar cart set-up is not only its circular configuration but also the beverage-inspired drink prints on the walls above it.

   

Living room designs with a luxe modern bar cart and accessories in black and steel can look  fashionable as well as practical when topped with a grand slab of marble. [ Images 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 ]

Interior Design Renderings

Sorry I've been SOOOO m.i.a. lately.  I've taken on a few more projects and I've been working into the wee hours on budgets, product sourcing, design boards and, my favorite, 

RENDERINGS.

There should be only one more week of craziness, then I'll be back to normal.

Fingers crossed.

I can't wait to show you what I've been working on!
