secret of domestic bliss #49...great pairs of chairs

One of my favorite things in the world is a really good chair. There is nothing better than getting cozy in your favorite chair with coffee and a good book...I could be there for hours. So when it comes to filling a room with seating, my favorite part is selecting chairs. It is always fun to get creative, funky and bold with your seating style selections. The best of the best should be prominently displayed in pairs for major impact. If you want style and swagger, a stylish pair of chairs works every time.
LOVE!

needing. wanting. loving. {ghost chair influx}

I am so happy to be back in NYC and already busy working again, so fun! I'm currently working on a fabulous project using the cute + coveted white louis ghost chairs. I am so in love with them, they are so adorable and the perfect addition to this room. How about the pretty monogrammed pillows to top them off with some flair? Fierce, no?
Why do I so love this fabulous chair???


dining room delights...the perfect dining chair

 
Today, I've got lots to get ready for before the end of the weekend. The Architectural Digest NYC show is on and I am so excited to check it out. But before all of that goodness, I have to get a few friends over for a dinner party (on of my best friends is in town to visit) and we are needing some extra seating in here, asap. 
Lately, I'm into the look of patterned dining room chairs. In an otherwise plain room, a pop of pattern can give some energy and movement. I love how these greek key esque chairs look in this ultra sophisticated dining room. However, not only do graphic patterns go well, great color and fabulous textures can do amazing things too. 

Some of my favorite dining room chairs...

loving this "liv-chic" space and the woodson & rummerfield green velvet chairs. GORGEOUS!

Bliss in the kitch' & breakfast nook bliss

I truly believe that the kitchen is the heart of the home. On Saturday mornings, there is nowhere I'd rather be. This cute little grey kitchen just looks like pure happiness to me. I love the cute little ghost chair at the gorgeous wood table. Such a great mix of styles. The perfect compliment to a beautiful kitchen = 
great breakfast nooks. Here are some that took my breath away...


Today I will be spending most of the day, sipping delicious coffee and working away at some projects on my computer. Lighting candles and a little music in the background...domestic bliss at its best.

The Decorista trend spotting: spotted fabric

I adore this incredibly well styled vignette. Spotted fabric is all the rage right now and I am coveting some for my new space. A perfectly paired elegant wood dresser and gold mirror combo looks rich. The fabulous cat lamp with an orange shade mixes it up a bit and adds a touch of fun. Loving this mix.

love the spotted fabric?

here is what the chair looked like before...

Decorista Trend Spotting: art like fabric

I have been doing some serious fabric shopping around this city and something I am finding is that the latest in fabrics are very similar to beautiful paintings and artwork, I snapped some photos of a few I liked. I am really inspired by the look of these very graphic, black and white, ikat-ish prints. It's super gorgeous and luxurious looking, especially when used on seating with gorgeous lines like these. Like artwork on a chair...love it.

needing. wanting. loving. {PEACOCK CHAIRS}

I know in most parts of the country and even most parts of the world, the weather is awful and cold. However, here in LA, its perfection at a sunny 73 degrees and I am loving every second of it. Sitting on the patio sipping my morning coffee, I found myself dreaming about the perfect patio chairs I spotted in this latest issue of Lonny. 
Perfectly peacock chairs absolutely rock my world and I am dying to get my paws on a pair asap! 
They are essential on any chic LA girls patio for weekend mornings.

They can be fabulous for lounging around with your girlfriends or even at your office space...
I would prefer mine in black but sunny yellow never hurt anybody. I think she's cute, no?
I'm also fond of the mini version in the dining room...
