Hope you all had a great weekend! I am feeling so refreshed after the most peaceful day I've had in who knows how long! I slept in, the windows open with a cool breeze blowing in, went to Farmers Market, relaxed and read a book on the beach, took a nap, and went rollerblading on the boardwalk into the sunset. As I sit here listening to Tegan and Sara and scrolling through Rum Magazine site, the only thing that would make it better is if I was curled up on the couch with...i guess the Rum Magazine in my hand;-) Here's a bit of the deliciousness I'm taking in right now!

Love these chairs! I just used them in this Beat Boxed post!

I need that accordion lamp right now!

Yeah, it's bold. The yellow stool that is.

Where can I get that daybed?

"OH...MY...GOD"

With each page flip of VT Wonen I swear I gasped, "OH...MY...GOD"! The gorgeous colors, patterns, and texutres in the May issue have me satisfied for the rest of Spring!

that fluorescent orange-y pink on the deep seafoam-y green...I'm dying here!!

you think those pillows will make room for me! I'd love to snuggle up with them while drinking a cucumber mint water...or maybe a cucumber martini!

hot pink...you still got it!

darling, just darling.

now isn't this serene?!

sooo cute! can you image if this was your little guest cot?! wouldn't that be the sweetest thing ever?!

oh red, you're so sexy!

I always dreamed of having a bedroom in an attic!

one day my little girl...or maybe I...am going to have a hanging swing chair AND a glam ass bathroom!

Thank you Yellowtrace for introducing me to VT Wonen.

Modern Maritime Theme

Another fresh approach to this modern maritime theme. How cool is this Big Knot ottoman from Huttners?! And this Shopping light that looks like it got stuck in the fishing net...ughhh...genius! Below is Light on Earth and it's modern spin on the lantern.

Fires of the Night :-(

image via NY Daily News

My throat has been hurting, my eyes are burning, and the skies have been gray all day. The California Wildfires are burning out of control and my heart goes out to all of those that have lost their homes and loved ones during this time. I have so much respect these firefighters, what an incredible job they have been doing...I can't even imagine! They are expecting the fires to hit Mt. Wilson before 2 am tonight, but let's just hope the weather works in their favor. Many of you probably aren't familiar with the Angeles National Forest (the area that has been destroyed in these fires), but let me just tell you this is home to some of the most gorgeous hiking trails in Southern California and a true source of inspiration! Here's a little room interpretation of the fire of the night...let's keep our fingers crossed that this fire can be contained!

A New Spin on Things!

Now this is what I'm talking about! I just love the refined spin on the standard cage utility light! Work Lamp from Stockholm based, Form Us With Love, comes in gold or silver and is only $100.00!

These new arrivals from Anthropologie really caught my eye as well. A little softer feminine touch was added to the Mechanic's Beacon Light. I just love the scalloped edges on this one called Small Flower!

More Incredible Lighting!

I'm still on my lighting kick! I was just browsing through Emmas Designblogg and I was going crazy over all the fabulous lighting she had in her images! I recognized and have used a lot of these fabulous lights and I love seeing them in other spaces! Check them out and be sure to check on out the links of my sources!!

This light here reminds me of Star Mandala by Stephen White I have used from Emmerson Troop. Absolutely Gorgeous!

You just saw these Double Disc Flush Mount Lights on my post about Gallery L7. I also love those Industrial Floor Lamps. You could pick something like these up at Empiric.

I think this is just stunning and wish I knew where to get it!

The modern spin on the antler floor lamp can be so fun in the right setting! A fresh coat of white paint and an oversized drum shade turn this from eeek to sleek!

One of my favorites! This 50's lucite and string light adds great texture and sculptural elements to any room. I hung it in a family room, but this idea as a table lamp is great as well! My source for this lamp was Dispela Antiques.

Love everything in this image. The light over the table is great and it reminds me a bit of this great Grace Lamp from Charming Unit! And I just love that Sputnik Light (I think it's a light!) on the floor! We used one similar to this in an entry of a very modern home and it was fabulous. They will customize this light for you at REWIRE!

Gallery L7

I am obsessed with light fixtures and I must thank Lori over at Gallery L7 for starting this obsession a few years ago when she was working with Rewire. I think Gallery L7 has the finest collection of vintage lighting in Los Angeles! Her eye for detail will just blow you away, she is incredibly cool, and so extremely helpful. I have not been over to her gallery space on Melrose in a bit, but as I sit here with my Ikea Lamp I am just dreaming of these sculptural beauties! I took a look through her 1st Dibs site and I want to show you just a few of her vintage flush mount fixtures...they are all just INCREDIBLE!!!
