  • Fall Anthropologie that we love

    Fall Anthropologie that we love

    Fall 2016 is about nature, layering textures, and pattern

    Pink dining room chairs?  Don’t mind if I do!  And out that window?  That’s beautiful Idaho.

    The new catalog features a bohemian mid-century modern fusion, which I like

    While I like a lot of Anthropologie’s furniture, I’m just as excited to see the locations they shoot in – they always find places with amazing bones!

    Wow that molding!  And the herringbone floors!

    Anthorpologie is also really into florals and patterns in both there wallpapers and upholstery.  While I like it, I don’t know if I could live with it long term in my house…

    Yes, please.

    Love the velvet pink sofa with the neutral textured rug.

    This tapestry headboard is pretty amazing.

    More from Idaho.  Whatever cabin or lodge they found to stage in looks absolutely beautiful.

    What do you think of Anthropologie’s offerings for Fall?

  • What’s up with Anthropologie?

    Stuff I’m loving from Anthropologie

    So I’ve been really out of the loop when it comes to EVERYTHING since Leo was born 1 year and 2 days ago!  Slowly I’m starting to come out from the first-time mom rock and live a bit of my own life again.  This includes dedicating more time to Decorology (a new Decorology is coming soon!), checking in with old blogger friends, trying to make new ones, and seeing what my favorite home decor stores have been up to.
    While I do like Anthropologie their style isn’t exactly mine to a T, but an Anthropologie piece mixed in here or there throughout our home would be amazing.  Problem?  Monies.  But I dream.

    How beautiful is this house?  The very cool rug and Moroccan wedding pouf are Anthropologie. The house is Sarah Schneider’s. Does anyone know who is this Sarah Schneider from Love, Sarah Schneider?  She obviously has lots of monies, and seems to feature A LOT of Anthropologie stuff, but I can’t find any info on what she does other than being a “wifey” “mommy” and blogger.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that.  She seems immensely talented and I’m just wondering if she was a stylist or event planner before that.

    As always whimsical patterns and bohemian flair abound in Anthropologie’s rugs and upholstery.

    The hand carved lotus bed is beautiful.  I’m also loving that bedding.  Anthropologie bedding is gorgeous, but I can only afford sale prices and then you can rarely get a matching set.

    Mixing two goodies!  Lucite and brass.  I really like the palette in this photograph.

    The spaces they shoot in are just as gorgeous as their furniture.  I love that coffee table.

    And that settee…and that rug.  I’ve missed you Anthropologie.

    Do you like Anthropologie or have any of their home goods? How’s the quality?

  • Furnishing a small space

    Furnishing a small space

    When furnishing a small space it doesn’t mean you have to keep furniture sparse and be left with a sterile, cold room.  Rather, think scale, reflect, and “through.” Let me explain.

    In the photo above, the space is small but doesn’t feel cramped, even with all of the furnishings.  A large mirror reflects light, and furniture has narrow legs allowing you to see through to the walls or floor of the room, or furniture is glass or mirrored.  You can even see through the lamp on the side table!.

    Scale: Don’t get the mammoth sectional for your cozy living room.  Get a settee or a smaller sofa with narrow arms and petite legs that take up less visual and physical space.

    Reflect:  Don’t neglect or waste the natural light in the room.  Place a beautiful mirror on the opposite wall of your light source, and/or get mirrored or metallic furniture and decor with reflective properties.

    Through:  Find furnishings and/or decor you can literally see through.  This means furnishings with narrow legs, backless bookcases, and glass or lucite tables.

    This room features a settee instead of a sofa, an armless chair, two small tables instead of a coffee table, a mirror, and a bench with narrow legs.

    Lucite is great for small spaces
    Below are examples of pieces that would help keep a small room looking open and inviting:

    An open back and delicate frame keep this bookcase functional but visually unobtrusive.
    Get it here.

    Another example of furniture you can see through. Get it here.

    Lucite and metal chair found here.

     

    Hair pin legs and a low profile make this coffee table stylish and light.
    Get it here.

    I’m a sucker for unique mirrors like this one found  here.
