Design Finds
Chandeliers
There's no doubt there are a TON of options out there.
However, that doesn't mean there's a great number of Amazing options. Besides, who wants just plain OK when you can have perfection? I guess that's what makes the difference in great results. Settling or Searching.
Things that make you go Hmnn?
For that very reason, I am Always on the hunt for new light fixtures for my interior design projects. Every project I work on is with a unique client who has their taste and their idea of what good design is for them.
Consequently, it's my job to make their style and taste come together seamlessly.
I can promise you I have searched through endless web catalogs and countless vendors to put together a collection of a few of my favorite light fixtures. As a result below are some of my current favorite chandeliers.
Pendant Chandelier, Linear Chandelier, Beaded Chandelier, Articulating, Lantern Style you name it is in here!

Design Finds at Target
You never know where that just so perfect home decor accent piece you've been looking for will show up.
Here are a few finds from Target that might be exactly what you've been searching for.
The trick to creating a great design is layering. Mix old with new. Using texture, rough edges together with smooth slick accessories. Vary lines, mix straight hard lines with curved lines.
All of this mixing is the key to creating a cohesive design.
Additionally layering laying helps with the budget. You know, that dirty little word that ruins everything.
Sometimes the less expensive items can be a better find than the most expensive. And who will ever know but you?

Favorite Find – Botanicals
Favorite Find - Botanicals & Birds
What are Botanicals or Botanical Illustration?
Botanical illustration is the art of depicting the form, color, and details of plant life.
As a rule, I use the term generically to represent anything in nature, plants, seaweed, eggs, feathers, butterflies and the like. Rooted in tradition as the predecessor to photography botanicals make a great addition to any room.
I've always been a fan of botanicals and today you can find all sorts of styles. Additonally you can find them by color, category and in varrying sizes to fit any home decor.
For Instance on the website Pintrest you will find a number of free prinatbles. That's copies that you can print at home for next to nothing. Similarly you can find collections of vintage botanicals for sale on websites like Etsy, Charish, One Kings Lane and many more.
Here are some articles on the origin history of Botanicals from My Modern Met.
Art that captures the beauty of nature are beautiful! Best of all botanicals are a great way to pull together a grouping to fill a large wall. Prints are a much less expensive route and can vary in both quality and price. Lower end reproductions are basically color copies. On the higher end are hand painted botanicals.
Definatly a Designer GO-TO.
Below is a bedroom from my Portfolio where I used a modern take on Botanical with Sepia Photographs.
This seaweed grouping is one of my all time favorites. A great choice for a Coastal Setting.
Below are some collections I've pulled together. Click any any image for more info.
Audubon Birds
Birds are another favorite for groupings. Although not true Audubon Birds, the seelctions below are in the style of.

Colored Prints are a great way to capture the designer look of Botanicals in a Modern Way.
Look at this option....
The possibilities are endless! You can select the size and framing option you like.
Hope you got a little bit of Botanical Inspirations.

The Best Collection of Beds
Boom!
Bedroom Done
Vero Beach Coastal Modern Bedroom
Looking for a great Bed?
Do you dread the hassle of drudging through thousands of internet sites searching endlessly for just the right bed?
Hate the thought of driving around from store to store only to be disappointed and let down?
Afraid to pull the trigger and buy anthing because you know there's a bed for you out there that you just haven't seen.
Good news then... I've been doing all that work for you!
That's right, I have spent countless hours pouring through catalog after catalog looking for beds so you don't have to.
What you will find here is The best Designer Curated Collection of Coastal & Modern Beds you can find on the internet. All different styles that will work great in any home design.
(assuming that is, that you have good taste and aren't looking for one of the ten zillion log beds out there I've had to dig through! You know the one that would be perfect IF you lived in Colorado and it was your 3rd home)
Step 1- The Perfect Bed
HERE is where I've put togehter a collection of some of my favorite beds you can find on the web.
The beds above are a mix of styles that will work in any Coastal Modern Bedroom.
The ODESSA SHEARLING CANOPY BED is a great transition bed, not too contemporry and not too traditional. Who doesnt' love a little gold...right? I never get tired of a canopy bed, they just make a room.
The Queen Shimmer Upholstered Sleigh Bed is just right for anyone that wants a touch of Glam! A little Luxury Master Bedroom Suite for this beauty.
The wicker Del Rey Bed from Serena & Lily is perfect for any Guest Bedroom in a Coastal area.
Another great bed from Serena & Lily the Cambridge Bed in Perennials® Coastal Blue Gingham. It's Perennials fabric which is basically industructable, how could you go wrong? There are several fabrics selections to choose from, but this blue, no maintance plaid is a traditional favorite to get a coastal beachy vibe in your bedroom.
I have to say, I'm not a fan of the overdone Tommy Bahama style but the Ivory Key White Pritchards Bay King Panel Bed in white tones is an easier version to live with. It's a bit furniture store for me, but people seem to love it.
From the globe traveling picker of Anthropologie we get the Heatherfield Bed which is a uniqe take on a cane and rattan bed. Personally I love the velvet bed frame, it's a great mix with a touch of Retro Miami with it's Art Deco style.
You know it doesn't end there. The Perfect Night Side Table, AKA Night Stand is the next step to get the Bedroom Done.
Step 2 - Night Stands
Not to worry, I've pulled a few of my current favporite Bedside Tables for your viewing pleasure too! Click on the image below to see even more night side table options at various price points.
A Furniutre Finish that's always been a favorite with Interior Designer is a Lacquered finish and it's made it's way into the mainstream. You'll see lots of great night stands with a Lacquered finsh over a texture. Oh Yes Please! Loving it!
Are we done yet? Sorry...not yet. Next up is Lighting - But you knew that!
Step 3 - Light it Up
Lamps....yes of course step three is lamps.
Goodness me I've seen my fair share of eeek worthy lamps. (NOTE TO SELF - Gather all the hideous images and design disasters I've seen and put together in a Giant DON't post!)
I don't know if it's just the Designer in me, but I am a lamp snob - guilty and owning it! What can ruin an amazing interior...
(I mean other than the obvious bad taste, cheap art, and ugly bedding) bad lamps! People PLEASE! I'm begging you! Spend the money on a decent lamp!!!!
Seems as though people are a bit adverse to putting a couple of Dollars BI$$'s into good lamps. I don't know why, lamps make or break the space and are so much better with substance and style!
Click on the image below to see some of my favorite lamps that you surely should check out if you are in need, or willing to up your lighting game a bit.
