Bar Cart Fun

I have a bar cart at home, and after looking at these images, I'm inspired to keep it well-stocked and looking pretty at all times, too.

Want this look? It's easy! You can get a great bar cart from good ol' Amazon. There are so many to choose from - just read the reviews to make sure you're getting a good piece. And for sparkly and special barware to serve in, I'd head over to Neiman Marcus. Done and done - now enjoy your very own cocktail hour at home.

new find - la dolce vita

hi readers:) once again, i've been away from blogging for way too long, and an update was very much in need. so here i am with a post i hope you all will enjoy...

la dolce vita is a blog i found while surfing around the web a few days ago, and i definitely spent more time on it than i intended! it seems this blog has been around for quite some time now, so i'm surprised i hadn't discovered it before. but i sure am glad that i did. the images featured on this site are so very pretty, and so carefully picked and presented…it's hard not to become addicted.

above are a few favorites so far -- a variety of rooms packed with tons & tons of style.

a glamorous space

it's not the most liveable or functional or cozy of spaces....but my oh my is it glamorous!! love all the little details and the rock 'n' roll vibe. the ubious amounts of black, pinched with strong yet feminine hot pink, is to die for. that casually sexy bedroom isn't bad either. and that bathtub?... i could go on and on.

interiors inspiration

i love saving images of pretty rooms that i can look back at and get ideas from. and sometimes it's not even for the ideas, it's just for something beautiful to look at. all of these rooms have such detailed beauty -- something i dream to have in a dream home one day. for now, i like to incorporate bits and pieces of easy glamour to make my living space a bit more inspiring, too.

but really, look at the use of color, the amount of layering, the variation in textures and patterns, the soft feel combined with the bold detail -- each room is perfect.

hands in interior design

i think i've talked about how much i love kelly wearstler, and if not, well then here it is-- i love kelly wearstler! she's such an amazing interior designer that sometimes i wonder how it's possible for one person to have all that creativity. her works are very artistic and bold, and just plain ol' cool to look at. so i know i'm not the only one who's happy to see she has a blog of her own now. it's fun to see ideas and musings direct from her, and frequently from her. she recently wrote about the use of hands in her works, and how she finds them inspring. i coulnd't agree more -- check out these pieces to see just how interesting hands can look.

etsy finds for your home

everyone loves etsy -- i'm definitely in the fan club, as well. who doesn't adore original, unique pieces that are high style and low on price? here are some of my favorite things on etsy right now

vintage chalkboards -- such a chic way to write little notes, and doubles as a beautiful wall hanging as well.

antlers -- i started to like the look of antlers after a recent trip to aspen, colorado, where these babies were used heavily in the decor. i might paint these in black, to go with the rest of my decor.

michaelangelo statue - what to say except this is big bad and bold. a statement piece, for sure.
