Pendant Lights!

Pendant lights, so many options! Today I wanted to take a look at all of the fun ways you can use them and some of the ones you can find to buy for your home.

 These lights look perfect over the bar. They are made from a shiny metal and they look great in this space.

 

These pendant lights come from a shop in Atlanta called Pieces and retail for $1395 a piece.  They are made from a vine basket.  I love the way they used them in the bedroom!

This one, made from glass, would look great in the bathroom above a vanity or also in the kitchen.  So pretty!

 Love this extra large one over the island!

And then there are these great lights from yours truly!  These are made from old chicken baskets and are so neat. I love them above a kitchen table, as lighting in an outdoor space or above a bar.  These retail for $250 each.  Message me for details!

Happy Thursday!

Design Inspiration ...

Can't believe it's already June 12th!  This week has been crazy!  Yesterday, my fiance took some time off work so we could make some more fun mirrors and today I'm going to go get my booty kicked with a new friend of mine in Mobile at an outdoor boot camp! Whew! I might not be able to write once I get back, so I decided to go ahead and post some fun design inspiration for today plus some pics of my living room redo.

When I decorate, I take inspiration from lots of magazines plus some favorite designers I follow.  The key to me is to not get bored! I love a classy, eclectic interior. I don't know about you but I have to have something in the room that peaks my interest and for me that is adding Pops! of color.  I tend to get neutral furniture and then add punch with pillows and fun accessories. Take a look at some of my inspiration and what I have done to turn a bachelor pad into a fun living area (where I envision lots of wine will be sipped).

 I love this scene-clean settee with fun and funky pillows! Plus I love the collection of coffee table books perfectly positioned.

This picture is from Furbish studio in Raleigh, NC. I am DYING to go here because I love the way Jamie Meares decorates. She is fearless with her mix of patterns and gets quite a reaction from the way she can mix color.  She was recently featured in Southern Living Interiors Magazine. I take inspiration from her because she started doing what she truly loves to do (decorate) after she quit a big time corporate career. Go Jamie! Check out her blog I Suwannee.

 Picture taken from an Elle Decor magazine. I really love the rich chocolate brown walls with the fun red pillows.  http://www.elledecor.com/

These two rooms really capture mixing fabrics as well, adding fun artwork, and taking advantage of some great spaces.

Now, on to my room.  If you could have seen this room before I walked onto the scene, you would think this is a major transformation! Just imagine a room with a pool table, hunting trophies all over the walls and lots of beer drinking! If I can find some before pics, I will definitely post but for now, here is the creation I'm working on.

Pop! Adds Lighting

Alright, I have been thinking of other ways to add Pop! to your life and what  better way  than a great light.  Light adds pop in so many ways.  I don't know about you, but I would much rather have a pretty lamp or chandelier than bright ceiling lights any day.  Lamps and chandeliers come in so many different styles, colors, and sizes.  Picking out a lamp to add pop to your space really can make or break a room.  Speaking of which, take a look at the newest addition to the products we are selling at Pop!.  These lights are made from old chinese chicken baskets.  These baskets would keep the chickens contained while at the market.  I saw them a few months ago and thought they would make the best lights!  Take a look at the finished product.  I am really excited and think they would be so fun in so many different areas of your home. If you are interested in purchasing, just send me a message!!

I have a pair ready for a good home or they can be sold separately.  Also, the length of the chain used to hang the lights can be changed depending on the height of your ceilings.  Use these to make your rooms Pop!

Beach Bum

Hello!  I've been spending some time at the beach this week and boy has it been fabulous!  The weather has been great and the food delicious.  It's been a nice, relaxing week as well, which is just what I needed. I found a cool new food spot and also some great design stores while I've been here.



This new restaurant, called aptly "The Gulf "was designed out of shipping crates. What an ingenious idea! There are three that have been put together to form this really cool conceptual restaurant. The other neat thing is if they ever need to move, they just have to pack their stuff in the crates and ship to the next destination. We enjoyed blueberry mojitos and really yummy ceviche.  They have a lounge set up in the back, so we dined alfresco with our feet in the sand.

Then today, I decided to check out some of the design shops to see what I could find.  This store, M2, has the chicest beach decor I have found in the area.  Check out some of the neat things I found.

I could definitely use the white and gold painting, this neat rattan side table and some aqua accessories to "beachify" my place. Hope everyone is having a great week and has at least one beach excursion planned this summer.
