Plate Collages!!

Art comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, textures and sometimes in the form of plates. A great plate collage on the wall can be just the statement piece your space was missing. Plate collages are super versatile too. Mix and match plates, matchy match them all, use different sizes and shapes..... Here is some inspiration!

A great mix of white and color!! Love.

Let's Talk About Lace, Baby!!

My cousin, Tommy, got married this past weekend and his new wife, Catherine, wore THE MOST BEAUTIFUL dress!! It was head to toe, tiered lace and she looked AMAZING in that gorgeous gown. Congratulations you two!! : )

Lace is supposed to be big this season so after drooling over her dress (not literally) I decided it was time to look into the lace trend. We're not talking just doilies here. Home decor, furniture, fashion; lace is all over the place (hey! that rhymed).

Love, love the shabby chic lace canopy!!

Love for Chesterfield!!

I was inspired to blog about Chesterfield sofas by my friend, Whitney. She has said several times in the last 2 months that she really wants to get a Chesterfield and after looking at LOTS of pictures featuring these gorgeous, deep button tufted, leathery, velvety beauties.... well, here we are. I heart Chesterfields. Thanks, Whit. ; )
Check out all the High Fashion Home Chesterfield options here!
