Patricia's House

I couldn't wait for the new season of Southern Charm to air. I just love seeing glimpses of  Patrcia Altschul's home that was decorated by Mario Buatta.

Check out the piece from Architectural Digest for more fabulous images. 

Pinterest Binge

If you follow me on Pinterest, you will have noticed some aggressive pinning binges. That's how we've been staying busy during the wee hours of the night. 

Nursery Finds

Scalloped Flushmount 

Bamboo Pillow

Regency Dresser 

I've been getting the nursery together and I'm still waiting on a few things to arrive. JCW has been such a help, I've put him to work! I'll share some images once it's complete but here are a few items already in the nursery. Pottery Barn Kids has been a life saver...I'm obsessed! 

Polo Bar

Ralph Lauren just opened the Polo Bar on 5th Avenue. The menu sounds delectable but the decor is a real feast for the eyes...

Check out this great piece by Eater, for a peek at the menu and more handsome images of the interior.

Garden Stools

 

My obsession with Porcelain Garden Stools and love of all the floral and garden patterns continues. I primarily use them to stack coffee table books and they always seem to bring a space together. I'm currently hunting for a couple more for our blue & white themed nursery.

White Walls

Yesterday, I started thinking about paint colors for the nursery. I am planning on painting the room white so I picked up some Benjamin Moore paint swatches. Here are some of the contenders...

Decorators White

 

 Cloud White

White Dove

Do you have a favorite shade of white?

NYSD: Alex Papachristidis

I was completely captivated by New York Social Dairy's House feature on Alex Papachristidis's Upper East Side home.  

 

I love the decorative items in addition to all of the rich colors.

 

There are lots of bold patterns and unique collections.

 

After seeing this piece, I was thrilled to discover Alex Papachristidis's instagram feed and it quickly become one of my favorite sources of inspiration.

Throw Pillows

Suede Pillow

 Scalamandre Tiger Pillow

Cane Rug Pillow

 

I'm in the market for new throw pillows for our living room. My first instinct is to go for a plaid but I am carefully weighing out all my options.



Elizabeth Locke's Farmhouse

After falling in love with Elizabeth Locke's jewelry. I am not surprised that her 100-acre Virginia Farmhouse "Clay Hill" is equally as spectacular.

Dana Gibson

 

Dana Gibson has a lot of new products since I hosted a giveaway for one of her wastebaskets in 2012. I am particularly smitten by her "Canton Collection" print that includes lamps, pillows and bucket totes.

  

The Cary Collection

Vintage book dealer, Thomas Cary has quite the collection of books and everything else under the sun. His clients include Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Tory Burch. The images are from a piece Unbashedly Prep did on the passionate collector.

 

 

 

Take a closer look around Thomas Cary's Upper East Side apartment & showroom on this NYSD House feature. Doesn't this make you want to go treasure hunting?

Maryland Antiques Show

This past weekend was the Maryland Antiques Show which benefited Family and Children Services of Maryland.

 

The preview party theme was Mardi Gras.

 

Guests enjoyed cocktails while looking around the show.

I was lusting after the tortoise boxes.

At the front of the show, there were designer room installations by Jenkins Baer, Patrick Sutton and Stony Run Home.

Radcliffe Jewelers set up a handbag boutique next to the designer spaces.
