What I'm Loving Right Now...

I am madly in love right now. With furniture. This furniture.
It's global, eclectic, ultra chic, high end, luxe, etc. etc. 
Basically every adjective I want in a furniture line. 
Now, I could gush and write a nice little paragraph, but instead
 I think it is best to show and not tell...
































Nashville is becoming such a vibrant and eclectic city. 
It's pieces like these that can bring some of that excitement into your home.
See something you gotta have? Stop by the store or give us a call!
We would love to make it happen!

Orange + Purple: Color Study

The obsession started with this photo:


Which I sort of fell in love with....immediately.  Orange and purple.  Such an unexpected color combination - outside of Halloween decor that is.  I love everything about this room.  From the lavender grasscloth wall paper, the black quatrefoil mirror, gold coffee table, vibrant sofa, patterned purple throw pillows and side chairs, and natural wood end tables. Add in the graphic black and white rug and black lampshades and it's over for me.  

Yeah, I fell. Hard.  

See for yourself.



You can go super fierce with it:

  



Or get all trendy and ColorBlock it!






Orange + Purple can be subtle...











Or BOLD


and BRIGHT




You could wear it....

...to play in




...to work out in...



or to just be hands down fabulous in!






So if it's desirable enough for the Tory Burch flagship store in NYC...






and breathtaking enough for nature to forever paint with...





Well, then it's certainly good enough for me.

I'm hooked!

Inspired by: Street Art

When traveling, I love taking to the streets with my camera. 
Maybe it's being in an unfamiliar setting, but everything just seems to inspire! 
Especially graffiti art. There's nothing like turning a corner and being 
stopped in your tracks by unexpected street art. 




Love this quote. And so true! 
 Sometimes things have to get really bad before they get really good. 
Trust Your Struggle



There's a certain "something" that is so alluring about graffiti art.

 Intensely bright colors. Massive size. Imperfections. Chaos! What's not to love?!






Like someone took a prim and proper painting, threw it in a blender, and then splattered it on a wall.
Fun!




 I am captivated by this Candice Sone painting. It's like polished, sophisticated graffiti on canvas. 
Love, love, love it! 






" Convergence " by Candice Sone
Currently on display (and for sale!) at Retropolitan.



So whether you're on vacation or just passing through an unfamiliar part of your home city,
be sure to stop and take a good look at your surroundings. 


I guarantee you'll be surprised and inspired by what you see :)
