For the past 4 months I’ve been on the hunt for blue and white ikat pillows. More specifically these couldn’t-get-any-better-if-they-tried Madeline Weinrib Collins Ikat Pillows. After first seeing these beauties steal the spotlight in an Elle Decor pic of a living room (below), I have been on a moderate to highly obsessed hunt to track them down and wrap my arms around their crisp sophistication and squeeze the loving right out of them. And I had all but given up on this relentlessly reoccurring dream until earlier this week when I gave up. Literally. Then, as if the universe felt my moody blues kicking in, the source was revealed — along with my embarrassing failure to substitute the word…
An Office Makeover You Have to See to Believe!
From the looks of my timeline and dates on my blog posts it would be reasonable to assume I spent the winter hibernating given the gap in content and contact, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The reality is, I’ve been blissfully busy working with a #dreamcometrueclient, moving eagerly from one project to the next and enjoying every second of each transformation, half of which are still in progress.

We loved the bright and crisp Madeline Weinrib pillows, the animal print X -bench ottomans, the lucite table…let’s just say we loved it all — and wanted it all. But lusting aside, creating an equally swoon worthy office wasn’t as effortless as the style oozing from every stitch in this photo. My biggest challenges with the office were the floor and the cork wall. Both of which were totally fine on their own, but paired together and creating the focal point of the room, competed with one another instead…
Still Mad about Moroccan
If you’ve opened a magazine lately, and I mean just about any home, life, fashion or style magazine, you’ve no doubt taken notice to those sometimes bright but always recognizable Moroccan rugs adorning floors (and sometimes even walls) with zero location discrimination. Perfect in bedrooms, bathrooms (yup, I said bathrooms), living rooms and nurseries alike, the trade routes from your floor to North Africa are wide open! So what makes these rugs so magical and why hasn’t the crazy subsided? Well for starters they come in just about every price point and every color. Now that’s not to say one loomed in Jamaica, NJ is the real deal, but maybe authentic isn’t at the top of your list and…
