office space of the day...LA city girl style

deliciously gray walls + beautiful floral rug + modern light fixture + fireplace + orange bike = 
domestic bliss


This is the office space of my fellow Los Angeles blogger Rebecca of lovng.living.small. Her adorable little office space just brightens my day. I just love her collections of books and personal photographs throughout the home. Those items display such character. My heart also has a soft spot for that black and white chevron footstool. I think we are all loving gray walls lately, right? So fresh!

Check out the rest of her hollywood bungalow home office tour!

domino magazine called it: decorator Daniel M. Pafford

Remember back when Domino mag named the 'domino 10'...
 {the one with Drew Barrymore's office on the cover}
where they named 10 decorators to keep your eyes on.
Well, whatever Domino said, I paid attention.
Daniel M. Pafford was one of the 10 mentioned and I recently cyber-stalked his work.
Hello fantastic East 37th Street apartment!
I am smitten with this place and now I am smitten with his style.
The textures, colors and fabrics...very domino, very decorista! 
enjoy.

What's new..?

In light of my recent post on 2010 decor trends,
I have been on the hunt for all that is gray + yellow.
Sure enough, West Elm is right on point...the NEW collection spans from anything yellow to everything gray. Here are some simple buys that I would make to 
keep my place hot, fresh + 2010.

Combine the gray striped sheets (below) with the yellow quilt (above) for some hotness.

throw in a zebra or damask rug to mix it up
nothing says luxury better than bone trinket boxes for the desk space
and why not throw in a bird cage for a tounge-in-cheeck element
There you go...just a few fresh additions to spruce up your pad for 2010.

having a 'gray day'

Gray is so the hottest color right now!
I bought a gray dress today to wear to my friend Meghan's birthday party at The Village Idiot tonight. 
It is one of my favorite places to go in Los Angeles, the perfect place to sip some wine on a cold night. 
I am loving gray right now, it's everywhere. It seems to be the new color of 2010, not only in the fashion world...
but in the interior design world as well.
Here are some ways to add a little gray into your world.
