Vintage Play Room

I absolutely love a kids room adorned with vintage goodies! And how awesome is this playroom? Its kid friendly, perfect for boys and girls and gives plenty of space to play, and create while having enough room to store toys and books. I believe storage is key in a childs room. They need a clear space to use their little imaginations, but with kids come STUFF! Ikea is the perfect place for storage pieces. They have so many choices of bookcases, boxes, shelves, hanging storage and so on. If you don't have an Ikea close by, no need to fret, many pieces can be ordered online. To balance the gleeming brightness of new pieces, bring in a few vintage pieces to make a room a little more lived in and homey!

I am SUPER in love with X benches right now! Such a versatile piece! It can easily be used in any room of your house (even the bathroom!) Easily mixed into any style decor from Hollywood Regency to Coastal Cottage, and children's rooms!

My favorite are from Jonathan Adler. Check out how absolutely divine these are!

Boardwalk Empire

One of my all time favorite shows is returning this Sunday, HBO's Boardwalk Empire. The show chronicles the life of Nucky Thompson who is equal parts politician and gangster. Set in Atlantic City at the beginning of prohibition.

With the release of Lonny’s Sept/Oct issue this weekend, one of the most inspiring spreads for me was a feature on Eva Jeanbart-Lorenzotti. She is the founder of Vivre, an online luxury fashion and home décor destination. Her space is super cool and hip and just oozes creativity!
