{PF’s Workspace #2}

workspace#2a

Work in the print studio has ramped up and “inspiration board Monday” has become “inspiration board Tuesday” this week, Yikes!

I am noticing a trend here  …. I am definitely very partial to yellow these days.  I think Soleil definitely has something to do with this.  Plus, pops of punchy colors evokes a happy feeling that I’m totally  digging.  Standing lamp and ornate mirror courtesy of Ikea.  Glass top Sawhorse table, Parsons bookcase, yellow chair – complements of West Elm, rug and crewel curtain – Anthropologie of course.

{PF’s Work Space Board #1}

Monday, March 1st, 2010

PFofficeinspiration

Now that I went ahead and secured a small space (and small is a huge understatement here) I’m going ahead and mapping out the first of three inspiration boards.   Given the square footage,  it will probably be best to be as minimalistic as possible – though I do plan to pay hommage to my Bomehian style.  The most important things is – though minute, the space needs to be multi-functioning.  A windowed wall will be framed with this gorgoeus Woods wallpaper that I absolutely adore – a ruffled curtain in ivory would add just the right softening touch.  An adjacent wall will be painted in a dramatic dark navy paint and will also serve as the backdrop of the multi-functioning grey toned Sloane bookcase.  The bookcase is a smart choice as I can use it for display items and also as a guest desk.  The yellow parsons table which I just L-O-V-E adds a really big punch and will be the focal point of the room.  I decided on two richly designed Terai folding chairs to complement the Parsons’s table – the best part is that I can fold and stow them away when not in use.  The floor will be draped in a shag rug that is modern yet quite homey.  Accessories items will include a silver hammered desk lamp, a metal antique phone, and possibly a cork board for messages. Hmmm,  the build out cost for this room is about $2294.00.  I believe with some  D-I-Y and a little more research the same look can be achieved for 1/3 of the cost.   I think these elements work quite well together and it already feels like Petite-Fete’s new home.

{Pretty in Pink}

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Pretty in Pink Happy post Valentine’s Day!  I am still swooning over my weekend.  Don’t be mistaken, I spend the last two days with the little ones baking cookies, ordering pizza, organizing an exhausting play date, making doily hearts, reading bed time stories, and running Nintendo DSi interference.  I’m pooped. That said I am taking this day for me … to laze around, eat bob-bon truffles, enjoy some lovely he-love-me-not poems and hmmm we’ll have to find something interesting to do with that gorgeous gros grain ribbon. How did you L-O-V-E-L-I-E-S spend the weekend?  Please share!

Fantasy{images from china vogue}

Let me be the first to admit I M-A-Y have once or twice found myself  in a closet or two or even secretly tucked behind a couch to devour baby cakes.  She’s a girl after my own heart. Yummie.

I’m not sure if it will happen on the outside but this is certainly what will be happening in my house for Christmas this year.  Everything is white, crisp, and ethereal … I think a little sparkle of pink, silver, and gold will complete my theme this year … What will be your holiday style … please share …
