New celeb furniture line. . . the Caroline Stanbury collection #ECmyLIFE

With Springtime in full effect, I'm being pulled by so many beautiful light colors. I've been looking for ways to add pops of pretty pastels in and around the home without having to do a complete overhaul, especially for my clients. I came across this photo on instagram of Caroline Stanbury, one of the gals on Ladies of London, the housewives reality show on Bravo.

That adorable little round blue and white side table stole my heart. I did a little big of digging and found that Caroline, moved from London to Dubai and created an entire furniture collection called ECmylife. I absolutely love it. She uses bright, pretty and happy colors with pops of gold on each piece. Right up my alley. Especially the black, white and gold pieces of course. 

Take a look around her new home in Dubai for a little colorful glamour inspiration. . .

I absolutely love the mixed blue pieces here. Lacquer and brass are such a dynamic combo and these blues bring in such a fun freshness to the bedroom. Not to mention the gorgeous blush tufted bed. 

I really love the unexpected pop of yellow in the dining room. 

Here are my favorite pieces from her collection. . .

Currently Crushing on: Platner chairs

In case you haven't already noticed, I am incorporating more of a modern + contemporary flair to my style. As always style evolves and tastes change but currently, I'm on this super mod kick. After my time at 51fifteen, I decided that I needed to get some Warren Platner chairs STAT. I've got my eye on a set like this  for a dining room install. 

Platner chairs aren't new or fresh on the scene by any means. Warren Platner was an architect and interior designer who used to work for Saarinen's firm back in the 60's. Then, as many talented designers who work under geniuses, he went on his own and partnered with Knoll to create these marvelous chairs along with ottomans and tables. I think it was around '66. In the super mid century modern fashion. To. Die. For. 

They really have never been out of style, I swear I see these chairs in the most amazing interiors. From super contemporary to even bohemian glam spaces and they make such a fantastic statement. You can find them everywhere now, they even make affordable knock offs. You can also get original vintage and get them redone in your own fabric. 

Take a look at some of my favorite vignettes.
