a fabulous beach house on lido isle

Isn’t it amazing when

beach house décor is done right…

This ultra-cool home on Lido Isle,

here in newport beach

was designed by one of my faves,

Amber Lewis for

her “client queen of the girl bosses”

who’s a bit of a

bigwig

 in the fashion industry.

Take a looky here…

I love the driftwood-like floors,

the effortless laidback décor,

the Gray Malin beach prints,

natural textures,

graphic rugs and pillows,

and

pure white walls.

As seen in C magazine,

this is the home of the fabulous Elyse Walker

who just opened her second

high-end clothing boutique

(the first one is in Pacific Palisades)

in Newport Beach.

my favorite serena and lily pillows

Serena & Lily Newport Beach

We have a new sectional on order at Room & Board

that should be arriving in a couple of weeks…yay!

So in the meantime,

I’ve been shopping for pillows,

and

of course,

I had to stop in one of my favorite stores

( serena and lily )

last week for some

beachy  inspo…

This grouping is so cute.

To go along with some of my solid color throw pillows,

I decided on these three as pretty accents...

Above is the Astoria Pillow.

Such a cute little print!

Love this Coastal Stripe Pillow.

and the Sunset Pillow in blue. 

I already have 1 & 4 in my living room,

so the new ones will blend perfectly in my family room!

1.  Lucia Pillow Cover

2. Provence Pillow Cover

3. Torrey Pillow Cover

4. Leighton Pillow Cover

5. Astoria Pillow Cover

6. Coastal Stripe Pillow Cover

a little bit country

Oscar Sunday is always a good day!

Will you be watching?

Well, today I’m sharing a quick and easy little post…

Just some favorite country-ish looks from a few of my favorite magazines that just are fresh off the printing press…

Kathryn Ireland’s Santa Monica home…

Do you remember Kathryn from Million Dollar Decorators?

I do wish they’d bring back that show!

A darling Santa Barbara cottage…

A tiny Hamptons saltbox…

and adorable we-shed.

…soooo country!

(Love that table!)

and

Rustic meets polished steel...

And a super cute vintage-style butler’s pantry.

Happy Saturday! Who’s excited for the Oscars tomorrow night? Or I should say tomorrow afternoon. Yes, the red carpet arrivals start at about 3pm here in California… can’t wait!

Well, today I’m continuing my series on Featured Local Designers and I’m happy to be sharing the work of Brooke Wagner Designs.

Brooke’s work captures the comfortable, laid-back California style that we all love. The homes she designs are timeless and fresh. Here’s a look at her Barmouth Project here in Newport Beach…

Check back soon for more “Featured Designers” this month

where I'll be sharing the work of my favorite local designers.

new to the blog shop...

When shopping downtown for my spring tablescapes and home décor, I always pick up a few extra goodies for the blog shop. Here are a few of my faves…

A set of 4 adorable Kate Spade plates…

perfect for the table or for adorning a wall!

Nothing says “Spring” more than

a new set of floral napkins for your table

and they’re perfect for Easter and Mother’s day!

My favorite kitchen accessory is back in stock…

these seahorse tea towels will instantly add

coastal charm to your home!

Pretty journals and cute coffee mugs... 

always a necessity around here!

So glad it’s FRI-YAY!!
