If there is one color combo that's growing on me like no other, it's definitely turquoise and gray. There's just something so chic and sophisticated (and guy friendly!) about it that I can't resist. And it's so easy to just throw in a punch of pink or yellow to make it that much more fun! What do you guys think? You digging this combo as much as I am?

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Let's keep the snow away, ok?!

Catskills Cottage

Ever since I was a little girl, I've always dreamed of having a tiny little cottage in the country. I imagine it to look a lot like this. A New York couple spent 7 months renovating this cute 700 sq ft cottage, which was their first home purchase. I bet it was a dream come true for them too! The home reminds me a lot of Martha Stewart's Lily Pond home from the outside (see it here). And for even more pictures of this cute little Catskills cottage, head over to the NY Times!

Thom Felicia Furniture

You are probably familiar with Thom Felicia from "Queer Eyes for the Straight Guys".  Do you remember that show?  We kinda miss it from time to time.  We don't know any straight guy who watched it though, only straight girls, hoping to fix up their men...

Anyway, Thom Felicia is getting to be a major licensing house.  He's doing rugs for Safavieh, fabric for Kravet etc.  The latest is a furniture collection from Vanguard Furniture.  It's quite lovely and original.

Take a look:

You can see the rest of the collection here. If you need help with pricing, drop us a line.

Fabulous Graphic Wallpapers

We often wish we were more adventurous than we actually are.  Our home is quite boring-- for people who are in the furnishings business.  More often than not, it consists of returns, overstock and miscellaneous things that we can't sell in the store.  It looks like a darn garage sale, actually.

Okay, so maybe we're exaggerating a little...

But we do play it a bit safe with just plain colors, solid and textures.  This is why we live our fantasies via this blog.  We just love showing you things that are whimsical and fun.

Like these wallpapers from F Schumacher, for example...

This one is called Bird and Butterflies pattern 2704420. 

This one is called New York Pattern 26340

This one is called Aviary pattern 2705511

Our favorite, this one is called Train Pattern 2703940

This one is called Balloon, Patter 2704320

These wallpapers run about $180-200 per roll, not cheap right?  But you can get it for less at our F Schumacher wallpapers section (usually 30-40% off the listed prices).

Ghislaine Viñas

Thanks to Cococozy, I was introduced to this colorful beach house in Montauk designed by Ghislaine Viñas. When I was out in NY back in November, Montauk was my favorite place we visited. I loved strolling the beache and the streets looking at the houses, imagining what they looked like on the inside. So fun to get peak in this one that's so right up my alley. The bright colors, the light-filled rooms...it's a place I'd love to call home! Head over to Cococozy, because there's a bunch more rooms you definitely don't want to miss! (And the view, you gotta see that too!)

Thanks so much to those of you, including Ghislaine Viñas, that alerted me to a story in the NY Times this week all about turquoise. The piece in an interview with Ms. Viñas about her love of color, and the fantastic ideas she has about incorporating turquoise in a home. Check it out here!

A Little R&R

I spotted this vacation-in-a-picture over at The City Sage, where Anne had it as part of an "Outfit to Room" post. (I'd also love to have the outfit that goes with this room...pretty sure you all would too!) I know a couple of you were looking for turquoise+white+beige bedrooms. Does this count?? Either way, I think it's stunning and it's definitely going into my personal inspiration folder for when I get my new Ikea bed!

Where Did You Get That?

We thought we start a new feature called "where did you get that"?  This is because many times we browse through a picture of something that we like, be it clothes or furniture or anything else, only to find the source not listed.

Does that happen to you?

In this feature, we'll do our best to show you where to get this stuff.  Some of the stuff might be things we carry, some might be other stores.  We'll hope you'll find it helpful!

The first one is from Lonny Magazine (have you seen it? It's quite fabulous).  The blue stool can be found here in various colors.  It costs $288 with free shipping.
