Asian Inspiration

The idea behind Feng Shui is beautiful. It is the balance of energies in any given space to assure health and good fortune for the people inhabiting it. Asian interiors are clean and simple with exquisite craftsmanship. Each room should have serenity, balance and peace. 

Who wouldn't want that in their home? So, we've got some tricks for you to add some Asian inspiration into your home and hopefully find that inner peace.

Something as small as changing out your hardware is a chance to incorporate some Asian influence into a room. Anything from intricate embellishments to simple bamboo pulls can give a piece new life.

 

Accents are another great opportunity to add some zen. Animal statues and shelves are a growing trend along with Asian figurines.

Don't be afraid to go big and bold. Merging the Asian-style with traditional creates a truly unique decor. We love using a large buffet or end table to make a statement.

Here's to finding your inner peace.

Get The Look: Blue, White & Bamboo

How can you possibly make Blue & White any better? One word: Bamboo. This week we found some inspiration combining two of our favorite styles. Blue and white never goes out of style then just throw in a touch of bamboo and you've got yourself a stunning room.

This eye-popping hue is the color of balance and harmony. Just one accent piece or a whole set of chairs can easily bring a room together and keep you in a good mood all year round. We have been lacquering many of our one-of-a-kind pieces in this bold color and will continue going green all season long. So keep checking back for more stunning vintage furniture getting an upgrade in green!

 We threw a Kate Spade Dinner Party recently. It was a hit and we'll share how simple it was to put together.

Floral place mats give the table a pop of color. 

 

Combine lemons and pink roses for an quick, beautiful center piece. 

The Kate Spade Book Clutches make for perfect decorations.

The Wedding & The Beauty Tip

We were invited to a gorgeous wedding on a farm recently and had a beautiful evening with delicious food and great friends. The decorations were perfect for the setting with just a pop of color. We've said it before - coral is really having its moment right now. 

Congratulations to the wonderful couple!

We were talking to one of our friends when she casually remarked that she had put apple cider vinegar in her hair and that it had made it remarkably soft. We were surprised to find out that she was right, her hair was undeniably silky. So we went home and dug around our cabinets and pulled out our apple cider vinegar and put it to the test.

It worked! We couldn't believe how soft and silky our hair was. All you do is simply pour some over your head in the shower and let it sit for a minute or two and rinse it out. It doesn't leave a scent behind but it sure makes your hair smooth! 

Give it a whirl!
