Vintage Fixtures are Chic...and so is Kelly

I just adore this photo of Kelly Wearstler from her blog, my vibe my life. Shopping for gorgeous vintage light fixtures in a pink sweater and heels? This is nothing short of fabulous...

Enjoy the weekend, I hope there's sunshine where you are!

Dwell Studio Fabrics

I've long admired Dwell Studio for it's great designs and patterns. In collaboration with textile company Robert Allen, Dwell offers a terrific collection of fabrics for sale on their website (www.dwellstudio.com). I'm trying to decide between the following fabrics to re-upholster a Victorian settee that I picked up curbside in my neighborhood. Which do you like best? Be sure to check out the Dwell Studio website, too.

Love these yellow colors...

...especially paired with grey accent pillows.

My settee looks similar to this; time for a modern refresh!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! What are your resolutions this year? I'm hopeful that I can complete a draft copy of my first The Chicer Antiquer book; look for excepts on this blog throughout the year. And, of course, the obligatory 'eat more vegetables, run more, do more yoga'...yadda, yadda, yadda. Below is a resolutions list from 1stDibs.com from some of my favorite designers and antiquers. Wishing you and happy and healthy 2011!
