favorite find of the week 8.20

While I was searching for accessories, I stumbled upon this great source, Clayton Gray Home. Imagine my surprise when I found out they were located less than five minutes away!!! They have a great variety of accessories, furniture, mirrors, along with many more things.  I am really loving the Pagoda magnetic wall boards! I am definitely stopping into this shop asap!

designer crush :: tobi fairley

I have just recently been introduced to Tobi Fairley's work.  She is an interior designer based out of Little Rock, Arkansas and her work is amazing! Traditional Home deemed her one of the "Top 20 Young Designers" in 2009 and it's easy to see why.  I am always a fan of rooms that are traditional in style but have a modern twist, be it with color or accessories, and that seems to be just her style!

I am loving the interiors of Megan Mullally's home featured in the September issue of Elle Decor.  I love the crisp, clean interior with the pops of color thrown in. It's subtle but effective.

Her pool isn't too bad either!!

favorite find of the week 8.13

As soon as I opened the mailbox and saw the Ballard Designs catalog peeking out with it's soft pink cover and gold mirrors all over, I knew I was going to have every page bookmarked.  The latest Ballard catalog shows their collaboration with interior designer (and a personal fave), Suzanne Kasler.  I want everything from her collection! Here are just a few of my faves...

white wash

I absolutely devoured the current issue of Lonny the day it came out! One thing I noticed in this issue was all the white! Maybe my memory is hazy but I thought the last issue had a lot more darker interiors.  Not that I am complaining! All the features looked crisp and refreshing!

blogger/ designer featured in garden & gun magazine

I have been following Rachel Halvorson's blog, Nest Egg, for awhile. I love her fresh approach to interiors and her easy nature.  I was excited to see that she was on the cover (!) of Garden & Gun this month named as one of the South's up and coming designers.  I can't believe how much she has accomplished at the age of 26. I am always in awe of people who are able to become successful at a young age, especially in the design field.  If you haven't checked out the magazine, you definitely should!!
