Lately I have been doing a lot Traditional work, which I love. You can never go wrong with a Traditional aesthetic. But then, I come across something like this and my funky side comes marching right out to the beat of its own drum.
Chair CB2
Let's Go Outside
While catching up on my pile of catalogs I was loving all the new options in outdoor furniture, so many great options these days.
Also, spotted this at World Market, it could add happiness to any patio.

Pull Up A Chair
The weekend is almost here! Last night I hosted a supper club for some of my favorite people so mine already started on the right foot. However, relaxation cannot begin just yet, a busy day is ahead. I am ready to prop up my feet for some R&R! Which brings me to this picture. I snapped it this week at a client's house. We recently reupholstered these chairs and they make me very happy. More to come as it progresses....
Have a great weekend!
Have a great weekend!Start Spreading The News....
I am leaving today for...
to see this guy, which you might remember from here, here or here.
Tuesday he will be taping a show that will feature an audience of all design bloggers and I thrilled to be included in this group.
Since I had a plus one I decided to take another very dapper man...my Dad. Not only does he love design but we always have a good time in New York together.
So I will leave you with some images from my bf Nate....
And I know I have posted about this little one before but I still want it...
A client and I were looking at this the other day...we are still debating...
I think this rug could be pretty cool too...
I will share with you how it all went later in the week when I get back south.

In The Detail...
This picture from the Anthropologie is eye catching to say the least...
But the best part is the detailing on the chair-the tufting, the contrast welt, the buttons up the arms, casters on the legs...
And of course the back-
Thank you everyone for the Charleston recommendations, I wrote them all down!

A few weeks ago I was home visiting my parents when I spied this cart. It had been sitting in the basement, left from the previous owners, and somehow I had missed it until now.
So it came home with me and now resides as our new side table in the den.
I had the top cut out of left over marble and asked them to keep the bottom unfinished. I love the clean feel of the marble against the worn down wood but I wanted part of the marble to be imperfect as well.
I wish I knew the story behind it. We are thinking it might be a coal cart with the unique wheels but I would love to hear any guesses.
While the old side table was a hand me down that I did nothing for me, I loved what was underneath it. I had this vintage suitcase underneath with books stacked on top....now I will have to find it a new home.
