I'm all about eclectic elements in the home. I don't really have any in mine, but I can appreciate them when I see them. I grew up with family and family friends from all over the world, so I've always been around interesting pieces of art and artifacts that sparked curiosity and conversation. I was raised Catholic so I always have been drawn to religious figures myself, I even have a cool set of large authentic nun beads. This Atlanta home completely drew me in with all of the African artifacts and cool spiritual figures. The designer, Beth Webb killed it on styling it all and making it look polished and pulled together. Don't you think?

I just love this whole palate. The rich purple curtains hang next to the yellow chair. So rich and luxe.

Each room is complemented so nicely by the exotic influences, but not overly done. Which is key in a space like this. I'm also pretty much enamored by this dark kitchen. Want!

I love shopping for stationary. Lately, I have been stocking up on chic little notecards and I can't get enough of them. There is nothing more special than writing thank you notes. I have resolved to write one every week for the second half of the year. It expresses gratitude, it also is extremely necessary on certain occasions. A few things I've learned recently I wanted to share with you... A perfect recipe for a nice thank you note:

Here is how you start....{dear whomever----thank you for the action or the present----how you enjoyed/will enjoy it----a compliment about the giver----a request to catch up soon----with love, kindly, or your desired send off} and that's it! It's pretty simple even though I know that feeling of "thank you note writers block".

One more thing...I think "thank you" cards are a little tired. I love sending cards with a cute photo, chic monogram, or a cool catch phrase. It gives you a little bit of edge and personality. Here are a few I love...
