Amy and Leo

I love the understated look to all of the below rooms. I spotted these pictures over at Moodboard, my new favorite blog for design inspiration.

It’s the night before Thanksgiving, and we just finished setting the table.  I made the linen table runners today, using a glue stick on the edges made the project go really fast.

I made the ‘vase’ by wrapping a paper napkin around a jar, and tied some twine around it to hold it all together.

I posted these lovely objects over at Seamsters too, but I’m just totally obsessed with these elephant champagne flutes by Siecel, which can be found at Vivre. I’ve been on a huge metallic kick in decorating our house. I love the look of greys mixed with gold and silver tones.

And these…Serpent trays by Eduardo Garza…they would be so perfect for serving drinks on for a New Year’s party!

Now that we’ve ordered the sofa, the next big purchase (and by big, I mean scale), is going to be a dining room table. We love to entertain, so we are hoping to find something like these casual looking tables and chair pairings. The above images are from Vogue Living and Elle Decoration.

Leo and I have a love of historically accurate details. We walked around the neighborhood snapping pictures of elements we’d like to add to our home. Here is a great storefront we found on Girard Ave.

We are planning on having a similar stained glass piece made for our entranceway.

I’m in love with metallic poufs. I’m on the hunt for 3 silver metallic finish poufs. So far, I’ve found this gold style available at Calypso Home, and apparently John Derian carries metallic and pastel tones. Unfortunately these are way over budget, so I’m looking into some more affordable authentic options. Lately a lot of retailers have been doing modern takes on these such as West Elm, but I love the authentic embroidery and seaming that happens on the authentic varieties.
