Friday Favorites

Well, it's Friday again. This week sure went fast! For this week's edition of Friday Favorites, I decided to share some of my favorite decor from CB2. Most people know of Crate and Barrel, but CB2 is their store of modern, funky, sometimes whimsical, and a little more out there, furniture and accessories. 

Here are my favorite pieces!

The Rig Acacia Adjustable Barstool is a great design, but I'm also a big fan of Acacia wood.

This Maze Pillow measures 23" x 11". It consists of a white pillow with black embroidery. It's a cute pillow to go with about anything, at a great price. 

I typically default to clear glassware. It's easy to then mix and match your table decor. However, I love this Brite drinkware. It reminds you of a Lite Brite right???

The Study Wingback Chair is a great look. The white piping really makes the bold blue color pop. The stainless steel base legs really finish off this great look.

Funky Accessories

I grew up in a house with white walls and white carpet. I think my parents thought this was a crisp, clean look. Really it had no interest. I remember bursting at the seams when I was finally allowed to paint a blue accent in my bedroom! It was a bit bold but especially fun for me at the time. Think about when you walk into a house with everything matchy, matchy. You know....the window treatments which consist of five different prints that match exactly to the sofa, chairs and pillows. You really aren't interested in anything other than how much everything matches. You don't take notice of any special pieces, it all just kind of blends together. Yes, its nice they actually took effort to coordinate. However, one of my main goals when designing a room is to add a piece or two to really create interest and pop from the rest of the room. I like to add a funky accessory, bold rug or a piece of furniture that no one else will have. There are so many things you can do, here are some awesome pieces I love.

I love this clock from uncommongoods.com.

These are some of my favorite side tables. They're Drum Tables from Arhaus and they start at only $149

This pillow is fun and colorful, a great way to add interest to a neutral room. Plus peacock is huge right now! It's from Pier1 Imports.

Don't want to do anything too bold? Try something as simple as adding fun decorative knobs. These Number Knobs are from Anthropologie.

Now this glass head is one of my favorites! It's also from Pier 1 Imports.

Why have a boring floor lamp when you can have something like this! It is a bit pricey but what a statement! You can find this at Restoration Hardware.

I hope this has inspired you be a little bold and go for something a little out of the ordinary! 

Three top area designers take on The Chase residences

I enjoy reading St. Louis AT HOME magazine and had to share this article with you. Chasing a Dream written by Jeanette Cooperman is about St. Louis designers Arlene Lilie, Tim Rohan and Kimberly Ruether all tackling the design of condos at The Chase Park Plaza. Their clients were downsizing from larger homes and wanting a new, fresh look. See how each designer took their own ideas and clients requests to create gorgeous interiors.
