Boxwood wreaths...




I was so excited to find some beautiful boxwood wreaths at Trader Joes.  For the price I feel as though I could replace them 3 times over the season if they get a little crispy!  
Looking forward to gearing up for Christmas this week with our tree coming soon.

Happy Holidays!

Great Gifts {design library}

 I love nothing more than a good design book (okay well maybe jewelry) but they are on the top of my gift list all the time.  I love to give and recieve them!!!  Every great designer has tons of them and why shouldn't we be the same way?  These are some of my favorite new books and some that are on my wish list this Christmas!



You can click on any cover to see details and pricing.

Enjoy!

Flea Market Find: Brass Bar Cart (and giveaway reminder!)

This weekend, my big brother and I hit up the Aberfoyle flea market. I guess this means that I can check off number 3 on my Summer to Do List! It was huge, a little overwhelming even, but I found something that has been on my lust list for a long time: a brass bar cart:
 To be honest, I don't really have anywhere to put this, but I bargained it down to $30 and just couldn't pass it up. I was in love. Now I'm looking to some of my favourite bar cart images for inspiration on how to style it perfectly.

 What do you think? I am in love.
Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway for your chance to win TWO pairs of fab earrings :)

ps. I did the magnet test and my bar cart appears to be brass plated rather than solid brass. The finish is a bit tarnished..Does anyone have suggestions for a good gold spray paint?

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

This weekend, my boyfriend and I made the short trip to Toronto to see the Blue Jays take on the Boston Red Socks. It was the perfect outing for rainy day weather (although I always prefer to go when the Skydome is open..such a great view of the CN Tower!). Even though the Jays lost, it was a fun day trip. 
Don't blue jays have the most beautiful colour pallet in their feathers? Sometimes the most gorgeous inspiration can be drawn from nature! See?!:

What did YOU get up to this weekend!?

Kiss my Brass Deer

Lately I've been noticing beautiful brass animals in all sorts of decor, but my fave has always been the deer...

(Spot them up there? ^ Looking all glam on the white shelf)
After seeing these images for a few weeks, I had a sudden flashback of a brass deer that we used to have in our home a long time ago. I asked my mom if we still had it kicking around.
And guess what?!

We did! 
Meet Fawn. Walking around with her nose up all snobby and posh. She's completely adorable, completely in need of a serious polish and, most importantly, COMPLETELY MINE (thanks Mom!). I love it when a non-plan comes together. Don't you wanna just give her a big smooch!? 
I'm going to try the lemon and salt technique to shine her up.

Let me know if you have any other suggestions, or any brass pets of your own.

ps. Thank you all for your congratulations yesterday! You are the best!

Inspirational Office

Lot's of homework to get through in the next few days, so I'd post a pretty office space to get me motivated. Now if I had a workspace like this I might actually be excited to do my assignments! I love the bright floral rug and the cool art deco archway. Enjoy! xox Tiffany Leigh

A Well Placed Blanket

A well placed blanket or textile can really make a room. Don't believe me? Take a look at the following examples, which, in my opinion, wouldn't be nearly as effective without the blankets used.

via design*sponge
^^ An neutral upholstered headboard is given a unique look by draping a simple textile over the center. It adds an eclectic flare that can be easily changed up when the  mood suits.

^^ This Navajo print in a washed out pallet compliments the soft greys of the couch, and the native character of the blanket partners well with the natural wooden accessories on the coffee table.

original source unknown
^^ Okay, okay, you caught me! I just used this picture in my first Favourite Furniture Friday's entry on the Eames Lounge. While the chair is, as I emphasized in the previous post, iconic and breathtaking, the room really pops because of the modern and bright Mexican serape draped on the lounger. I love it.

So, if you look around a room in your house and feel it needs a little bit more life, consider investing in a new blanket or textile with a great colour or pattern. It's an inexpensive way to change the look of your decor!

instyle-decor

i love twitter. i love everything about it. you're only allowed a small amount of characters in order to post (or even direct message), it connects you with the design community, and you can quickly find out all of the latest news and gossip. genius if you ask me. we have over 400 followers now, and i'm super excited. i checked out the new followers yesterday, and one of them was instyle-decor. i went to her website and found these great things. here are a couple neat-o pieces from her vast website. enjoy them as much as i did! jolene.


the inspiration behind this colorful stool/table are ties. how creative!

this kind of reminds me of something that may be in west elm. or in some awesome mid century modern home (preferably mine!)

lily pad table. aren't you dying?



would love to have these side chairs in my office one day. one day.

these boxes have little belt buckles! so cute and dainty!
