SOME GOOD NEUTRALS FROM POTTERY BARN





Y'all....yesterday I took Cami to a new grooming place.  

Why? 




Well I have taken all of my dogs to Pet Smart and this guy has been there for 10 years and all the sudden the last time I called he was gone.  So.....I just booked with a random person and Cami nipped her.

Uh oh.  Trouble.  

So this time I called around and booked a new place.....[spread the bites around] and  
the lady was SO FRIENDLY on the phone so I was excited!

When I drove up I thought the building was abandoned..... it was in such bad shape.....like the sign was down and when I went in it was dirty and this weird guy came out of a back room tucking in his shirt.  Ewwwww.

No sign of the friendly woman!


Me texting my friend who used to own a doggy day care facility.  

I freaked out when I got back in the car and the whole way home I wanted to turn around and go back. 
 

I was a wreck the whole day....seriously I wanted to go pick her up but I couldn't think of a reason to tell them....and got nothing done.

Long story short when I went back to get her at 3 and the nice lady was there and she looked perfect!



They even put a pretty bow on her:)

Whew.....

OK on to design!

I was looking for some pillows on Pottery Barn and ran across some pretty good stuff.....mostly neutrals because well....that is usually on my agenda!

Starting with pillows.....of course.





And some great accessories!



Look at these amazing table lamps....


And I never met a black lamp I didn't like!



These light fixtures aren't cheap but occasionally they have 30% off lighting and then they are a deal!

I love this line below as all I could think about  was staining them a dark ebony.....but hey even in this light color they have a "Scandinavian look"



And this piece below....not crazy about the slats but you could load it with books or baskets!
The bench below caught my eye!

And this little number below....
Yes please!

And these 2 mirrors below....


Well....thoughts?  Listen PB gets a bad rap sometimes and for sure I HATE when I go to a clients house and they hand me the catalog saying "I love all of this"....because I want to give them a curated look but y'all know that I love to mix the high and low!

So...I called my doc and got some medicine and after 2 days I am not feeling much better....but hey I am impatient so we will see.  I am tired of coughing and peeing.

Last night Rose and I went to Ballard Designs to celebrate their 100th podcast.....guess what I was number 4....haha.


The dress is from Target by their Prologue collection and I can't find it online anymore.  But the belt is this one....
The lightweight coat is an old Eileen Fisher [4 years].

OK.....get started on Friday!

BALLARD DESIGNS MILES REDD COLLECTION





Well y'all left me in one piece with my post on faux flowers.....most people were OK with a few sprinkled around.....as long as you don't let them get dusty.  

So there might be dust 1" thick on my bookcases but I will dust that faux fern religiously.  

Promise.

I got an email from Ballard Designs about their new Miles Redd collection!  You know I had to check that out right.....


He started his career with John Rosselli and Bunny Williams!


Check out some of his designs......





Fun and whimsical come to mind...... 

He takes risk and is known for his use of color and pattern.....I love that no 2 rooms are alike.

Back to his Ballard collection.





I pulled a few Ballard fabrics that I feel Miles might put together....




Of course there is more.....but it also got me checking out other Ballard favorites:)

Like these 2 benches!

These chairs.....


And they have a spool chair...

Similar to the one I just used

 This mirror can really make a statement....

I used this same on in a project.....think "adding a window where this isn't one"!



Love this new nightstand!

This cute beaded light fixture.....

I used the Ballard Designs barstools for my sisters ORC and they are awesome.  


So comfortable.

I have used these gourd lamps many times....

I used to change out the shades with a Pottery Barn one but they have been discontinued:(


I am totally in love with this raw wood curtain hardware.....move over acrylic and brass.....

And these pillows....

Silk!

Mohair!

Table linens....

Vases....

Catalog shopping at it's best!

And just so you know I practice what I preach....I had my neighbors over for dinner Sunday night and here is proof that I used real flowers.....



And I'll close with this cute picture of Cami

She looks like a Guinea pig here:)  I try to eat that nose on a daily basis.
