style board: kelly hoppen inspired dining room
kind of a contemporary rustic with a touch of mod glam. Clean and cool base color with a splash of warmth. I decided to go sans rug, as I imagined this room having a cool concrete floor. The slab shelves would be dressed with a collection of personal goodies collected over the years. The flower(s) of choice would be white ranunculus and sunflowers...

fab find-on the hunt: white jeans
The second pair I will be trying is from Gap, Sexy Boot Surplus Jean. The white boot cut jean could be the death of me, I am thoroughly obsessed with finding a slim boot cut jean that is not too long to wear with flip flops and thong sandals. While yes, I can get the jean length altered, boot cuts can be a bit tricky.
WANTED: suggestions for white jeans; boyfriend and slim boot cut...THANK YOU!

fab find: walnut wallpaper
The bar is Mom's vanity, her high school graduation present. The top is glass with a piece of plexi underneath, so I can easily sandwich objects between the two surfaces. Currently there are a few silk flowers, but I believe a change is needed.
I found the papers above at Walnut Wallpaper. While fabulous wallpaper is not inexpensive, samples are. The six papers above are my choice for the bar project, six out of many, many, many fantastic patterns. I foresee a few other projects stemming from wallpaper samples; framed as art, a collage within bookcase shelves, matting, etc.
Any other creative, crafty ideas?

creative cocktails: margarita spritzer
This recipe hails back from Gourmet, May 1985! I didn't find it until 1999 on Epicurious.com, but thankfully I printed it off and saved it since it is no longer available.
Margarita Spritzer
- 1 1/2 oz. tequila
- 1 oz. fresh lime juice
- 1 oz. triple sec or orange liquour of your choice
- Chilled seltzer or club soda
- Lime for garnish
I make mine in a 16 oz. or larger glass filled with ice. Add ingredients and stir with a swizzle stick.
Enjoy!

style board: industrial glam parlour
and since metal can be a little too industrial, I had to throw in some glam. The sofa is slip covered, but it has great, clean lines and lends a bit of a relaxed feel. The other key point of the sofa is that it is 36" high to accommodate the 33" high cabinets.
While there are more girly attributes to this room, thanks to the tufting, ruffles and feathers, there is a small injection of testosterone, aside from the cabinets; the rug and the twig sconces. The bar while florally ornate, is metal as well.

fab find: riviera palm springs
The Riviera was once a hot Hollywood hangout in the 60's with Frank Sinatra and the rest of the Rat Pack being regulars. From the looks of the mod glam interior, the old Hollywood influence has definitely been injected in the new digs.

style board: neutral beachy mod dining room
I wanted to use one of the chairs I featured on Monday, and I happened to choose the "Reed" Chair, you can find reeds on the beach right? The room is neutral, very relaxed with lots of texture and modern, clean lines. I can hear the waves lapping now...good thing I have a sound machine!
