FabFinds: Black and White Home Decor

I haven’t done a FabFinds entry in a while so here is a roundup of some home decor fabfinds within the black and white color scheme!

All you princess wannabes out there will want to rest your pretty little heads on this royal pillow. For $39 you can have the tiara on your head that you deserve! This hand-tufted wool pillow is 14″H x 18″W and comes in a crown version for your prince of a boyfriend or husband.

Along the princess theme, here’s a throne chair (that my friend thinks darth vadar belongs in) hmm not sure about that visual but Bergdorf Goodman has similar chairs in a light blue thanks to my favorite designer, Kelly Wearstler.

I have memories of my mom being so happy when my dad finally let her have a sheep chair.  Yea, I said sheep. chair.  The ottoman was a furry replica of a baby sheep and I guess my mom really really wanted to have a soft place to rest her legs?!.  When it came home, my brother and I treated it like our new pet (while making fun of my overgrown kid of a mom).  Now I see this modern version and am falling in love!

I guess I got the same ridiculous gene ‘cuz I’m loving these sheep by Sam Brown.

Have you seen those pictures of people who have bravely transformed their wall into a chalkboard wall with some chalkboard paint?  it’s a fun way to add a little interactivity to a room.  Some use it for daily reminders, others use it for conversation pieces and a party focus.  Here’s a more glam chalkboard for $36 from one of my favorite sites, SeeJaneWork.com.

If you don’t have a fireplace but love the charming look, here’s a black shelf that Oprah (and I) love.

And that’s it for my black and white home decor FabFinds roundup.  Tell me what you think!

Happy Chic – Jonathan Adler Decor

It’s a dreary, rainy day outside today so I thought I’d post a cheerful decor collage from one of my favorite NY designers, Jonathan Adler. He’s the interior designer behind Barbie’s Malibu dream house that I blogged about earlier.

Jonathan calls his style, “happy chic.”  And “happy chic” it is!

These pictures were all taken by me in his NYC showroom (of which he now has 12 across the U.S).  I love the geometric prints, the cheerful clash of colors and Jonathan’s quirky take on life, art, design and decor.

I just checked out his website and learned that he now allows fans to post their own pictures to show off what they’ve done with their purchased Jonathan Adler products.  I love what customer, Greg Natale did with his bedroom and bathroom pictured below.

Aren’t the JA mirror accents a fabulous contrast to this otherwise, sparse modern bathroom?

You know me, I love black and white pairings.  The above mix of geometric patterns works because of the dedication to a minimal 3color palette and variation in pattern size.

And in case you didn’t already know, Jonathan Adler also now offers free, downloadable wallpapers for you crackberry addicts!

Pretty Pale “Daydream Romance” Trend

The last fashion show I produced was all about how to incorporate fall trends into your existing wardrobe.  One of the prevailing trends emphasized this season was called “daydream romance“.  It’s sort of an extension of spring 2010′s pale nude and blush trend colors.  For this season, add onto those color trends, ruffles, and layers and you’ve got “daydream romance.”  Winter whites, pale greys and dusty shades coupled with fur or lingerie will also update your look.

Below are some collages I made inspired from this trend theme. I love colliding the worlds of fashion, design and event planning as those are my passions and all conveniently fall within my professional focus. These collections are pure prettiness aren’t they?

OCDecorating -continued

As a continuation to my earlier post about how I’ve been obsessively and compulsively decorating ever since my recent move, my latest obsession has been how to make my living room more fab.  Lately I’ve been glued to my Brocade Home catalog and have been ravenously eating up the images on their blog.  Brocade home totally follows my design aesthetic and love of damask prints, with metallic accents, chandeliers and clean modern furniture mixed in with more ornate pieces.  I felt I had walked into heaven on earth when I found their new showroom in NYC.  If you haven’t been there yet, you must check it out.  Limelight (yes, the old church turned nightclub) in Chelsea is now the holiest shopping center in NY with boutiques inside a beautiful cathedral setting.  And best part about it is that it has a Brocade Home showroom!

The foil wallpaper is so glam, isn’t it?  I was thinking about putting a similar one behind my chocolate colored sectional and adding silver cushions.  During my online research, I ran into another fab decor and bedding company called Angelinas Curtains and Beddings. Their bedrooms are boudoir-like, there’s usually a chandelier in the bedroom and always some sparkle in the bedding.  Check these pics from their website out.  I would love any of these rooms!

Though they’re based in the UK, they do deliver worldwide!  What a collection huh?  Ok all this dreaming about fantasy bedrooms at midnight is getting me ve-ry sleeeeepy.  Time for bed so that I can dream about my new living room!

Louis Vuitton

I must admit, I’m more of a Chanel girl than a Louis Vuitton girl ( I find we fashionistas can be easily divided amongst these two fashion houses – which kind are you??)  But these stunning pictures from Taipei captivated me and so I had to share.  Aren’t they gorgeous?

On another Louis Vuitton note, the fall 2010 ad campaign came out and I’m loving these shots of models ranging in age from their 20s to 40s (Christy Turlington, Natalia Vodianova and Karen Elson).   The 50′s inspired fashions and interesting new take on their logo-ed bags have me panting for more.
