California style {Ryan Murphy at home in Hollywood}

 

Ryan Murphy and David Miller's California home is the perfect mix of old California and new.  I love the clean lines of the kitchen mixed with the rustic table and it's wood and leather chairs. Each space seems to pull it off perfectly with a simple palette and clean white walls.

Remnants of the Past 2012

 

I was excited to visit the show this year, we have not been to the last few shows and I wanted to see everyone.   My first stop as always was to see the boys at Atelier de Campagne.  Their booth was full of beautiful pieces as always.  Things were moving quickly so we stopped for a quick picture and then it was on with the show. 

Next stop- Junk Style design.  I have never seen them before and I fell for their style. It was a great mix of vintage pieces and one of my favorites vintage luggage.

 They also had some great bird cages, I almost caved and bought one but decided I should wait until things were finished here at home!

I loved that so many vendors used beautiful natural pieces in their displays, we saw so many nests and feathers mixed in with the pumpkins.

I love loved the display of vintage dress forms from The Seed Box antiques I have been searching for just the right one for my office and have not found her yet. 

Another amazing display from Kimberlee Edgar of Edgar and Edgar.  Oh my goodness it was all black and cream, it was really beautiful.  I wish I had taken more photos of her booth, it was full of people so it was a little hard and when I went back it was closed up for the night.  She did a really beautiful job.

We had a great time at the show as always I wish I was able to take more time and talk with everyone about their style, maybe during the next show.  I will have more inspiring booths for you in tomorrows post though.

 

greige and pink...

 

I fell for the eclectic mix in this space, that and the windows and multiple fireplaces.  The wall color is fantastic and the little accents of pink and feminine touches are just perfection.  This is the home of Hilary Robertson, the owner of Mrs. Robertson in Ft. Greene and it is a divine mix of vintage and well traveled collections, just the way a home should feel.

Whimsical bath

 

I love the whimsical feel in this bath.  The sink put me over the edge.  I think that little bit of softness makes this room feel so great.  Wishing you a wonderful Saturday!  Is it really fall?  I am not so sure here in California it is 90 today.

feeling fall in greige...

 

This space makes me think of fall with the warm fire burning and the soft colors of their eclectic mix it is just perfection!  This is the home of Todd Fiscus and Rob Dailey in Texas.  I have seen some pretty amazing homes from Texas although I have never been.  I really love how this home mixes old and new with ease and elegance.

greige love... in a Citroen

 

Would this not be amazing to drive through the countryside with the top open and a fabulous picnic in the trunk?  I can just imagine it!  

How is the week going so far~ it has been quite busy here but I am excited for a fun girls weekend, breakfast with friends and some time to relax and maybe do a little shopping for things I really don't need.  Maybe even finish the book I am reading.

Oh and there were a few questions from yesterdays lifestyle board- just drop me an email and I will point you where you need to be...

Farm to table {a wonderful evening}

On Saturday I was lucky enough to attend a wonderful dinner hosted by Andrea @ French Basketeer.  It was a beautiful evening with perfect weather and an amazing meal.  We were welcomed by the candle lit stairway and walked into the heart of the space, a covered loggia.  Everything was just perfect from the rosemary in the ice buckets (I will be using that one thank you very much!) to the singer who entertained us for the evening.  

A beautiful table with vintage dishes, silverware and linens.

 It is all in the details...  the water bottles were to die for!  These are the Christian Lacroix glass bottles for Evian. 

Andrea made a wonderful meal that I am still telling my family about.  I must make that Burrata with peach and tomato.  

I will say that the desert table was my next favorite.  Each creation was a wonderful temptress, and the display was really perfection.

 

It was so perfect to get a chance to talk with Andrea after the meal and meet her sweet little babies.  Andrea, it was beautiful and the food was fantastic, thank you for including me!   

I love a good party and this one was filled with a great group, great food and in a beautiful setting.  I think that each time we visit with another we have the opportunity to learn so much and take a bit of that experience along with us to share with others. It is also an amazing thing to meet people through blogging and be invited into their lives and homes in such a special way, who would have guessed what a small world this has become.
