Colorful Clocks

With so many of us carrying around cell phones, computers, iPads, etc these days, having a non-digital clock in your home may not be a necessity.  But look how pretty these are!  These colorful bits of personality are great for decor and for keeping you on time.

Room Service

I recently took a trip to San Francisco and really fell in love with the city. It is so amazing!

One of the best shopping finds of my trip was the store Room Service. I had read about it on Emily Henderson's blog as a frequent source on Secrets From a Stylist, and was super excited to find it while strolling through San Francisco's Hayes Valley neighborhood.

I picked up a couple of great accessories but unfortunately couldn't take any of the furniture with me. So I thought I would share some of my favorite finds here instead.

Room Service has some really great living room displays featuring upholstered sofas in luxe gray textiles. The nailhead trim on these pieces is dynamite. 

(Did you catch the curvy white legs on this piece above? I love that detail!)

The sofa below has such a clean silhouette. The illustrations on the pink and white throw pillows keep this piece from taking itself too seriously. What a great touch!

For a totally different look, try these shiny lacquered pieces in black and bright pops of color. 

How could you not love a peace-sign-shaped chair in hot pink?

This curvy lacquered chair and mirrored desk would add some serious sparkle to any space. 

And just for good measure, I had to include this chair. I've never seen anything like it! I love the extremely tall back and the moroccan print. This would make a great statement piece in an entryway...or a pair of these at opposite ends of a dining table in a room with vaulted ceilings would be quite dramatic.

Next time you are on the west coast, be sure to check out Room Service!

Flowers and Burlap

I spotted these flower arrangements on Jayson Home's website. Aren't these images so beautiful? I love how well the rustic burlap vases are paired with the delicate flowers. Soft white roses or bright pink tulips--either way, these bouquets are simply breathtaking. 

Hope you enjoy this flowery-goodness as much as we do! Have a wonderful Friday and we'll see you back here on Monday.

Vintage Finds

I would love to spend weekends scouring flea markets for vintage items and quirky finds (well hello, wheelbarrow bench) but frankly, I often can't find the time. Fortunately, Napa Style has done the work for me! All of these items would add such personality to a home.

Speaking of Graphic Gray and Yellow...

Inspired by Jillian's gray and yellow post, I found this letterpressed love letter by Sycamore Street Press. 

A different take on the theme but so perfectly gray, yellow, and graphic. Isn't this poem sweet? So fitting for Valentine's Day week.

Chalkboard Favorites

Last week, we started a new series called Chalkboard Favorites where we show items that we are currently loving. We're planning on doing a Favorites post every other week but we couldn't resist doing a love-themed one for Valentine's Day today. We think these posts will be a fun way to show our favorite things but we would love to hear about your top picks, too! Have a favorite item you want to share? Leave a comment and let us know about it!

Graphic Gray and Yellow

As evidenced by the gray dresser in my bedroom, I'm totally into gray and yellow. Bold and graphic patterns make this color combo even more fun.
