Inside the Home of HGTV's Jillian Harris

I first become familiar with Jillian Harris via the addicting HGTV show Love It or List It, but I really fell in love with her aesthetic via her regular posts on instagram and her blog. I was so excited to see a tour of her Kelowna home.  Here's a look:

Design Spotlight: Nest Design Co.

One of the many things I enjoy about my job, is discovering talented new-to-me interior designers. I thought it'd be fun to spotlight them here on the blog as I'm sure many of you will also enjoy seeing their beautiful work and gain inspiration from it.

This week's spotlight is on Jennifer Wundrow and Heather Brock, founders of their own firm -Nest Design Co. based in Sausalito, California. A selection of lovely spaces they've designed:

Inspired By: Blue Print

While reading the Domaine feature on Cynthia Collins, I learned that aside from being an interior designer, she is also co-owner of Blue Print - a store in Uptown Dallas.  I clicked on over to the store website and immediately fell in love.  They sell handpicked antiques, original artwork, accessories, and high-end furniture, all inside a really charming and architecturally beautiful old home:

They do such a beautiful job with styling:

Beauty at Home

I'm a huge fan of Aerin Lauder, so I was so excited to hear about her new book Beauty at Home, which just launched.  Aerin is one of my favorite style icons and never fails to inspire me. Her book looks beautiful from the previews I've seen...can't wait to receive it in the mail!

p.s. If you're also a fan of Aerin's you'll be excited to hear that we're using fabrics from her line for some of the new pillows that we'll be adding to the shop. Stay tuned!

Home Office Decor Update: Greek Key Tray

The newest decor update in my office is a big beautiful tray that Paloma of La Dolce Vita recently sent over from her Joy & Revelry shop for a White Box Challenge. I decided to put the tray on the surface of my Expedit shelving, which I have right behind my desk, along the back wall.  It has been great for containing things that I like to have within arms reach but off my desk.  Here's a look:

Things tend to look neater and more stylish when corralled within a tray, wouldn't you agree?

Irene's Colorful Abode

My friend Irene's beautiful SoCal home was featured on Apartment Therapy this week! If you haven't seen the tour yet, you're gonna love it. I've had the pleasure of stepping foot inside her home and it really is as fun and welcoming as the photos show (possibly even more so!).  This girl sure knows how to effectively bring together multiple colors, textures and patterns. She's one talented lady!

View the full tour here and come back here tomorrow for a How I Organize post featuring Irene!

Still Loving: Nailhead Detailing

For a couple of years now, spaces with pieces that have beautiful nail head detailing, whether it's on a chair, an ottoman, a bulletin board, nightstand, or a headboard, have tended to catch my attention.  There's something so elegant about that type of detail.  A few lovely spaces I've gravitated towards:

I love having fresh flowers. Especially on days when I'm in front of the computer for long hours, it's nice to look away from the screen and glance at something beautiful and mood lifting :) These are the ones my hubby got for me over the weekend and are currently on my desk:
