deliciousness in color

In waiting for spring, colors are quickly popping up in nature, and my inspiration is revving up for the season.  The top image of trays from the 1960′s completes my passion for graphics, color, and one of the most useful objects for decorating.  I am going to be on a mission to find and make trays for the store – thinking of a little collaboration with my talented friends may need be in the mix. Not to leave out my love for stones and gems – this 1940′s illustration is worth oggling over. Enjoy.

And there you go – a gorgeous space. Drool.  And my favorite – mixing styles – how about those chairs against that blue wall?

A super huge thank you to Refinery 29, Heather Talbert and Evelyn of Axis of Evelyn.

We are thrilled that Refinery 29 now has a Chicago section – high fives for Chicago – such a great city that is making it’s mark slowly but surely on the fashion and design map. I am also thrilled and happy about my new love for fashion – thanks to Evelyn, of Axis of Evelyn who jump started me and made me realize that I love  heels and being a bit girlie. Make sure to check out her amazing collection of vintage wares at our shop, and even better, she graces our clients with her savvy presence every Saturday. (She will style you for free on Saturdays at Post 27!)

And wow, how lucky was I to be shot by my favorite fashion photographer ever, Heather Talbert.

hot damn. the thonet chair is the sexiest.

A wonderful space with the perfect backdrop – of greenery (which I am longing for these days) White walls offset the collage of chairs and an amazing light fixture. Oh the memories of being dressed to match your siblings.

springy colors please.

One of my faves – Villa Planchart, is used today as inspiration for many reasons, but the most important is color. Spring is peaking around the corner and bright colors are re-emerging in nature, thank goodness. Crisp and clean, pops of colors, and freshness = deliciousness.
