Introducing … Shop Ten 25

June 17, 2013 · Comments { 5 }

Aaaaaa …  Summer. I love this time of year when days extend into the evening. The transition of seasons to warmer weather always puts me in a mood to entertain and spruce up the home. As I consider the options, I’m so happy to have Shop Ten 25 – a go to spot online for chic home decor. I’m also happy to announce they are a new sponsor of Simplified Bee (thrilled)!

With a huge array of two of items (including some of my faves … lighting, artwork & rugs!), Shop Ten 25 makes decorating easy allowing you to shop by the look, designer or color. With hundreds of items to choose from it was hard to narrow down, but here are some faves that stood out …

San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013 :: Writer’s Retreat

May 10, 2013 · Comments { 3 }

Fresh, airy and chic describes the Writer’s Retreat designed by Kriste Michelini for the San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2013. The light filled, attic room on the Pacific Height mansion’s third floor features whitewashed floors, grasscloth walls and chic furnishings.

A platform bed with vibrant mix of patterned throw pillows (many of which are from Caitlin Wilson) and whimsical Kandy wallcovering in Brit Pop by Elitis is perhaps my favorite spot in the room.

Peninsula Volunteers Decorator Show House :: The Card Room

May 8, 2013 · Comments { 4 }

Inspired by the preppy, glamorous style of 1960’s Palm Beach, San Francisco-based interior designer, Scot Meacham Wood of SMW Design has transformed a corner room for the Peninsula Volunteers Decorator Show House into a delightful Card Room. With stunning views of the pool, waterfall and magnificent Woodside hills, it’s the perfect spot for an afternoon bridge match, refreshing drink and good old fashion girl talk.

Using nearly 100 yards of fabric,  the room is tented from ceiling to floor in Lilly Pulitzer’s “Tail Lights” in emerald green (available at Lee Jofa).  Each of the four card tables are covered in “Happy Plaid” also by Lilly Pulitzer, topped with darling polished chrome lamps by Circa Lighting and circled with varied antique chairs. The grand chinoiserie secretary (love!) from Baker Furniture was placed opposite the French doors. It balances the r

A cheery yellow custom designed bar cart from the Gilded Stag  is stocked with summertime drinks. I love that this piece was a bit over-sized. It’s the right scale for the space.

Scot incorporates wonderful artwork throughout the space including photography by famed photographer Slim Aarons and several works from local photographer James Scott Geras.

Happy Chic by Jonathan Alder JCPenney

April 10, 2013 · Comments { 2 }

jonathan adler at jcpenney

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…
