gorgeous, glamorous and green

Everything about this photo is how I am feeling today.

Sunshine-y happiness and beautiful greenery is all around me here in LA.

I love a beautiful mirrored vanity and lucite chair pairing.

Green and white  botanical wallpaper, green lamps and a glossy black door.

All of these gorgeous elements are domestic bliss to me!

deep green interior decor...

i don't see you very often, but when i do i just love you! 

The dark green ceiling in this dining room is just delicious!

i SPI a fabulous dining room...

I have got a huge girl crush on a new design team,

SPI (Sarah Shetter + Alison Palevsky... a darling design duo)

I have fallen for this absolutely gorgeous dining room that they designed.

The green, the glossy black and fantastic light fixture.

Gorgeous, no?

SPI designed the black lacquer dining table, and the chairs were purchased from the Elizabeth Taylor estate in Palm Springs. Above the dining table hangs an oversized 5' x 5' 1960s Italian crystal mazzega chandelier.

for more of their amazing work visit them here.

art + room: green living + colorful 5 de mayo

luxurious emerald sofa + citrusy lime green walls + colorful abstract painting = 
domestic bliss

Hillary Thomas Interior Design...and the beautiful color sea foam green

Hillary Thomas

Designer. Wife. Mom.

and she is from Brentwood 

(my fave neighborhood in LA)

Does it get any better?

This woman is just so fantastic. I have totally fallen for her style.

This particular image has my heart because I spotted this adorable little elephant (my obsession).

Isn't he cute? He happens to be in this irresistible sea foam green color.

 It seems to be a particular favorite of miss Thomas and I must admit is starting to become a favorite of mine as well. It mixes with so well with other colors that I adore. 

Enjoy these photos...and if you feel the need for some more eye candy check out her site!

oh! by the way, happy st. patty's day!

Today is the one day of the year when green prevails over every town in our nation.

i think it's pretty awesome.

Such a bummer when this awesomely cool holiday comes in the middle of the week.

Anyone have anything fun planned today?

I am recovering a small stool in my apartment with some pretty green fabric tonight 

with my cousin (i saved the project for this special day + i can keep myself busy while my sweetheart is away. yes!)

hope you dolls have a great day!

I thought I would throw this in for good measure...

i'm kind of obsessed with it.

i love mrs. meyers

If you are looking for a gift to get yourself or anyone who loves to be green in their home, 

look no further! I am absolutely obsessed with Mrs. Meyers 

cleaning products. One wash of your hands and the kitchen smells blissful. 

The Geranium scent is my favorite.  Even better, the products are environmentally friendly and biodegradable. Neat-o!

"I recycle old curtains. Cotton can be a toxic material to produce, so I'll take clients' curtains out of storage — I've even bought boxes of them at auction — and re-dye them, re-hem them, re-do the pleating, change the trim. If there's water damage or staining, I just dye them a darker color." —SUSAN GUTFREUND
