Monogram

I love monograms especially in the bedroom because it is so personal. There are so many different fonts and styles you can use when monogramming these days. The fuschia on linen is beautiful.

The single letter on the wall is so bold and fun to use for a baby or kids room.

Designer Devon Baer

I fell in love with the Manhattan based Designer Devon Baer when I saw her jewelery featured on Plush Palette.  Her style is fresh and preppy.  She finds inspiration in antiques and all things beautiful in interiors.  These bold statement pieces are a great way to update your outfit. 

The tangerine and pink flowers in the necklace are perfect for spring/summer and the bigger the better.

Cute accent belt!  It reminds of a chinoiserie table lamp.  Shop her Etsy store.

Weekend Shopping

I was listening to Skirted Roundtable this morning with guest speaker, Ann Spiro, from Absolutely Beautiful Things.  She mentioned shopping at Number Four Eleven in Savannah.  I came across some gorgeous decorative items for bed, bath and home.  Here are some of my favorites.

 

Ferran Lattice Linen Pillows
 

Double Gourd Lamp
 

This Antique White Chair would look great under a desk or vanity.

 

This monogrammed necklace is a great gift for any woman.  I thought it would be great to use my 3 month old son's initials.

I am off to enjoy a relaxing weekend with my family at the lake.  I hope you have wonderful Labor Day Weekend!

Floral Pillows
