elements of a chic reading nook...

One thing that I think is essential in every home is a good well designed reading nook. I have an E-decorating client right now, that doesn't have a place to read, sip tea, journal, etc. I know what you're thinking 'that's a huge part of achieving domestic bliss, right?!' Right! Her and her husband are young and fun and their home has lots of exposed wood. So, I thought we could jazz it up a little and get some glam elements into the space. So she can make her tea and have a place to sip it too.

Here are what I envision for an eclectic casual look...

[caramel zebra print rug] - I adore how neutral this rug is, it can go with ANY style of decor.

[tufted teal chair] - I'm very into this style of chair for myself, the high arms keep you snuggled in.

[cubed floor lamp] - this stunner makes a room look like a million bucks.

[mirrored pillow] - I love this guy from John Robshaw. so chic.

[mongolian fur pillow] - it just always makes a chic statement. This one is a GREAT price.

[bubble ceramic side table] - I love the shape and pattern on this.

[abstract art] - this is such a cool mix of colors.

[agate accents] - geodes make for great accessories.

Here are a few more looks I love...

a high fashioned home

While I was in Houston, I stopped by High Fashion Home again because I needed a few accents for my Austin apartment. Honestly, I fell in love with the store all over again. The fabrics are the best in town, I went crazy for so many different ones. If you want your home to look luxurious, this is definitely the place to go. Almost every item in that store I would use in an interior.

The best part about the place is that there is 4 levels of styled vignettes to help you visualize what you want. (the have room ideas online too) This was my favorite vignette. The color of the rug and the artwork were really speaking my language. I wanted to buy everything but here is what I actually brought home with me...

[gold urchin] [black agate coasters] [mongolian pillow] [gold mirror pillow] [voluspa candle] [arrow marble table]

I am absolutely obsessed with everything. I love the way white, gold, black and mercury glass look together. Oh, and the arrow marble table is literally the most gorgeous piece. It is the perfect place for David to chill. I am loving how everything looks in my living room. Definitely added a little glam factor to the space.
