L’s BIG GIRL ROOM REVEAL!
“Cute Bohemian”

It’s a long time coming, but hopefully worth the wait! If you’ve been following me for at least (ahem) a year, you know I’ve been slowly but surely working on transitioning my daughter’s nursery to a big girl room. While I didn’t want to have to get new of everything, I definitely wanted to tie in a “cute bohemian” theme somehow, some way. Lo and behold, with the help of an elephant lamp, a vintage peacock headboard, a D.I.Y. canopy, John Robshaw, Jonathan Adler, and a last-minute kantha ikat quilt purchase*, I was actually able to pull it off! My FIRLs Irene and Sabra came to the rescue to style and photograph the space, and I am THRILLED with the result, as is Leighton (clearly!). I hope you are too! Sources below…

VIGNETTE VIEW
My House via Instagram

For those that don’t follow me on Instagram (say what?!) you may not know that I share snippets from around my house every so often that I don’t share here. I work from home so it’s fun and easy for me to take a quick snapshot during my day when a little something catches my eye. It can be a welcome distraction in that Monday thru Friday, 9 to 5 grind sometimes too…

ANNIVERSARY CHANDELIER
My 10-Year Gift

Today is my 10-year wedding anniversary! You may remember I posted this D.I.Y. chandelier by Lindsey Adelman back in March. Well, I immediately put the husband to work, and he really came through for me. I love it! Paired with flowers from recent photo shoots, it makes for a very celebratory scene, doesn’t it?

MY MODERN GLAM TABLE
Get the Look with Stone Textile

small shop for stone textile, modern glam table setting

If you are a regular reader, I don’t need to tell you that I live/breathe/decorate by a #1 rule: WWKWD…as in, What Would Kelly Wearstler Do?” So you know I had some fun putting together my ideal Mother’s Day brunch setting using placemats from Stone Textile with this in mind. Add in my grandmother’s gold-rimmed china with budget-friendly finds, throw in some color with supermarket flowers, and voilà, we’ve got ourselves a KW-inspired “modern glam” tabletop…

FEMME MODERN
Gallery Wall Progress

About a month ago, I posted how Michelle Adams’ bedroom gallery wall inspired me to redo my own. This is my 3rd version over the past two years, but with each revision, I get to explore a different aspect of my style. It’s so fun! In the midst this new exploration, I wanted to share a few quick pics of the progress thus far (I’m waiting on two pieces, and will have a formal shoot with my photographer in the next month, along with some other updates I’ve been making in the house!).

I’ve also been developing my design book library, so swapping out books into different groupings according to what’s speaking to me lately has been a great exercise. Bottom line: in your workspace, you should switch it up often to remain constantly inspired!

SNEAK PEEK
L’s “Big Girl Room” Shoot!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I was soooo lucky to have Irene and Sabra over for a little photo shoot of my daughter’s room. I’d been having some trouble taking the space that final 5%, so my girl Irene (a.k.a. interiors-stylist-extraordinaire) came through for me and styled it up! And Sabra (a.k.a. photographer-extraordinaire) shot all of our hard work. A few peeks…

GIVEAWAY
Lulu & Georgia Rug!

It’s the 7th day of Lulu & Georgia’s “12 Days of Christmas!”
And I get to play Santa with a giveaway for a 3′-6″ x 5′-6″ “Imagine” flokati rug, in the color of your choice!

A $220 value!

As you know, Lulu & Georgia is a (fave) client of mine, so perhaps I am biased. But I absolutely love this rug that they gave me for my daughter’s play area. It’s perfectly soft, neutral and versatile. I know we’ll use it for years to come…

D.I.Y.
Bed Tent Canopy

This weekend I tackled a D.I.Y. for my daughter’s room, and it was SO easy, I had to share!

I searched for the idea initially on Pinterest, but then I couldn’t find any curtain panels that went with her room decor. So I decided to make my own, using a pair of $10 sheers from IKEA, some pom-pom trim from the local fabric store and a hot glue gun, for a project that cost under $40 total…
