the magic of European influence...

How about walking into a home like this? I've never been a huge fan of mint but this mint with a touch more of aqua blue would make for some pretty stylish doors. I am just smitten with the color. I also love the dynamically styled entryway table vignette. 

Throughout the rest of the house, the sophisticated Euro-Inspired look is dripping with soft glamour. I could move right in this gorgeous space. My favorite part about this home is the seating. Notice how the back of the chairs all have a different pattern than the front. I am so in love with that look. Who wouldn't love a good leopard or floral on the hind side of a chair?

How to style a brass etagere

Over the weekend, I got possibly the best news ever. My mom, who is an avid thrifter like me, thought perhaps I may like this gold bookcase. Not knowing that I have been searching for a Milo Baughman for DIA brass etagere pretty much my entire decor career, I was shocked when she found it and ran straight to that thrift store. Get this, it was only $75. I bargained them down to $60. Are you kidding me? 

She is just so absolutely gorgeous. I just love her. Now, I don't know what to do with her. I started styling her up with what I currently have no room for, all of my books + a few art pieces. But I really am wanting to create a whole vibe for this space. Something more dramatic. So I wanted to get a little bit of styling inspiration and see what's best for my new entryway nook. Here is what was in this space before...

Now for some styling inspiration.

That was all of the Milo Baughman stylings that I could find. Looks great as bookshelves in the office or even bar carts. I think it could also be super glam in a closet. I'd love to see that. If you are as obsessed with this look as I am, you can get your own here...

Here are a few more brass stylings I'm into...

I love the art behind the cart on the wall. I'm really thinking about keeping my art on display on that wall, and even possibly a mirror or two.
