White and Gold Holiday Table Setting for Target

gold and white holiday table setting with Target // simplified bee blog #TargetStyle

Hello December! It’s time to deck the halls, trim the tree and prep for holiday dinners. With the Christmas season in full swing, I was thrilled to work in partnership with Target on planning my tablescape this year. The festive white and gold color scheme sprang from the gorgeous table runner by Oh Joy! for Target and the fun candlesticks from Threshold. I paired the runner with elegant gold and silver swirl dinnerware and faux bamboo flatware. In contrast to the metallics, I added pops of color and earthy touches with succulents, air plants and driftwood. The mini hanging glass terrariums with sand and air plants topped each place setting and are the perfect gift for each dinner guest. I love the result!

happy holidays!

Spring Gardening Essentials

With March’s arrival I’ve been thinking about the warmer months ahead. One thing I enjoy most about spring is the opportunity to garden again. Every year I like to add a new gardening tool, get a fresh pair of gloves and incorporate new plants. I’ve spotted several items on my wish list at  One King Lane’s “go green” sale and I wanted to share them with you too!

Friday Find :: Veggie Garden Basics

Can you feel it? Ah, summer is almost officially here. And one rewarding (and eco-friendly) project for the summer months is to plant a vegetable garden.

Don’t be discouraged if you don’t have a large backyard, there are plenty of container options that would be great for patios, decks or even fences. I love this vertical herbal and veggie garden solution below…

San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2012 – Sneak Peek

With breathtaking views, box beamed ceilings and a double-curved grand staircase, the historic mansion at 2020 Jackson Street in the coveted Pacific Heights neighborhood is this year’s San Francisco Decorator Showcase. The Classic Revival home was designed by Julius Krafft and built in 1902 by Wells Fargo Bank President Isaias Hellman as a wedding gift to his daughter. However, after the 1906 earthquake and fire, the 11,500 square foot home was the temporary headquarters of Wells Fargo.

This year’s Showcase features a roster of both seasoned and emerging designers. Wallpaper, neutral color palettes and extraordinary light fixtures were design trends that kept repeating from room to room.   Here’s a sneak peek at some of the beautiful spaces:
