I know, I know. Summer just arrived and our minds are nowhere near the fall season. Our friends at West Elm however have allowed us a sneak peak into their fall collection and it’s so good, I wanted to share. The entire collection is amazing, but a parquet pattern 3-drawer dresser, green Parsons desk, agate decoupage boxes, marble pattern pillows and a mobile chandelier topped my list!
Don’t you love?

Have you checked out Jonathan Adler’s new “Happy Chic” collection at J.C. Penney? The two mega brands have partnered to created a shop-within-a-store. Adler’s exclusive “Happy Chic” shops feature colorful, fresh and of course chic decor items that sell for as much as half of Adler’s higher-end line. For example, “Happy Chic” sofas at JCP are $1,850, compared with $4,000 for the signature collection. I’m assuming the Adler’s signature collection is of higher quality, but in some instances price wins out.
Check out some of my faves…

It’s the small details that make interiors special and this is especially true when it comes of designing kid’s rooms. Although my client’s son’s bedroom was charming before, adding art, storage and a work area personalized and maximized the space.
The young boy loves Legos and has created some wonderful pieces that needed a home. Taking advantage of the room’s beautiful high pitched ceiling, I had a custom display shelf built the length of the the entire wall. Now his Lego creations are stored neatly (and safely!). They also add such wonderful color and texture to the room. For now the shelf stores Legos, but in the future as the child’s interests change it could be used for other collections such as books, trophies or photographs in the future.
By adding a table and chairs under the shelf, I created an area for the boy to work on this Lego projects. I selected a traditional drop-leaf table could expand for larger projects and had storage shelves underneath to tuck away works in progress. The clean-lined red chairs were added for a fun pop of color.
Originally a large scale black and white photo of a vintage airplane was going to be placed above the table. However, my client and I were drawn to this art-wall first seen on Pinterest. Purchased on Etsy, twelve different vintage airplane prints were placed in a simple, white frame and hung.
I love how these special, personalized design elements pulled together the room. Don’t you?
