Like Shoes

I read somewhere that chairs are to designers what shoes are to most women- you can never have enough chairs!

I completely adore these Bouroullec-designed chairs I saw on apartment therapy!!!

Papyrus Chair: reminiscent of the Ghost chair? yes, but with sleek steel frame.

Vitra Alcove... cozy!

So chic in white!

Rich in red wine color

Last but definitely not least, the Steelwood:

Industrial meets Chic.

Twombly

Here are a few photos we took over the weekend, that I just love right now.  We visited the Menil, Rothko Chapel and Discovery Green in Houston.

Apartment Breakdown

Don't you just love this!? I can't remember where I found it, but I love the interior break down of Carrie Bradshaw's NY apartment. I LOVE it- the midcentury modern furniture pieces, the neutral color palette, and the overall relaxed vibe.

Intro to the world of blogging!

Hello, Blogland! I'll be posting/documenting/sharing all things of decor, design, color, materials, and art just to have an excuse to blog about what I love. In interior design school we were required to keep a inspiration file full of photos, magazine clippings, and materials that we loved and found inspiring. As an adult, there's no one to police me to keep one... so this blog is my accountability.

What's Your Story?

I've loved furniture and decor since I was little and decided that my Barbie dream house was in dire need a new furniture and I would design it myself instead of purchasing whatever Matel had ready for the masses.

When I grew up into a 18 year old "adult," I had visions of earning a business degree that would make me rich and powerful. After my short stint in Business Calculus I, it seemed that perhaps money and power weren't everything, but happiness would be key. To me, one giant facet of happiness is a well designed space. So, I made my way to interior design school to pursue that career path and haven't looked back.

After years of hard work, I now have the degree, the LEED accreditation, and the NCIDQ exam under my belt, but still need a good place to dump ideas, both the valid and invalid.

Welcome to my brain. Sorry for the mess. I hope you find something here you like.
