Hello Franklin Hills!

So over the past month I've been doing a little house-hunting in LA, and I came across this oh-so-fab pad in the Franklin Hills part of Los Feliz. It's mod, it's swanky, and it's a place I would love to have a cocktail enjoying the view....

I don't know the architect or designer, but I do know it's available on craigslist!

Stacks & Layers....

Beautiful photographs of stacks and layers to inspire....

Seeing Red...

....chairs and benches that is. Here's a few of my faves I've come across again lately, both new and seen before. There's something wonderful about a splash of red in a room, and I think the red painted finish is perfect. Faux bamboo Chippendale style in red-orange from Pieces. Not bad at $950 for all 4!

Woodson & Rummerfield's Rare Chair. I love the key!

Bungalow 5's faux bamboo Chloe armchair in red lacquer....

A wonderful outdoor bench from Gumps. I want one for my patio!

Red Egg's super cool Chinese style bench from their Double Happiness line...

Gump's Imperial Chair...

Downtown's fabulous Muirfield bench. While I adore the red, they'll custom paint this bench in any Benji Moore color for you. How great is that?

The Kingsley chair, another Downtown find....

The famous Kelly wing chair from Chapman Radcliff...

The Emile chair from Anthropologie, the perfect casual chic chair for the dining table at a weekend getaway....

Pottery Barn's Tolix cafe chair, which comes in a multitude of fun colors, btw!

Twin-spiration!

I feel like I don't see a lot of rooms with twin beds these days, but I love the boutique vibe they give and they can be so fun and playful!

Love the colors and patterns of this guest bedroom by Philip Gorrivan...

Super chic symmetry...

More coral colored walls to love (from Anne Coyle), and the organic patterned bedspreads add just the right touch...

Ooh, jumbo strawberries! By Sister Parish with Albert Hadley...

The perfect guest nook (by Michael Maher)....

I love how these two twin headboards were combined to make a king size bed. And the upholstered gold frame is so striking against the royal blue graphic background.

Another headboard made from a hainpainted Venetian daybed (by designer Muffie Faith). Love it!

The Epitome of Glamour

Isn't this dressing table designed by Mimi Williams just the epitome of glamour? The mirror, the crystal, the pearls, the antique rollback chair. I love photographs stuck into the side of frames. Modern, not so much, but luxurious, dramatic and chic? Absolutely! It makes me wonder just what life might be like if this was mine....

Celing Scapes...

A friend introduced me to David Wiseman's nature inspired ceilings a while back and I just love his beautiful installations. I am so excited that his collection keeps expanding. Also check out his works in bronze and crystal on his website - amazing and definitely worth a looksy!
