Luxe Decor: Home Depot Finds...Say What?!

Don't you love it when you're perusing your hubby's favorite site for a new washer/dryer and are pleasantly surprised by an abundance of value-priced home decor goodies?! I know we do.
 
Christin had recently found her new chaise lounges at Home Depot, so we knew it wasn't a site to be overlooked...for outdoor furniture! But check out all of these luxe items at pretty amazing prices!

Luxe Fashion: Panama Hat

Continuing on our resort wear obsession...another staple is the panama hat.  While I typically wear mine poolside with a bathing suit, look how cute the panama hat looks paired with casual wear.  Love it with a simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt!

You don't need to be basking in the sun to rock the fashion trend!

Luxe Fashion: Tribal Bikini Look for Less

Have you been swooning like we have over some of the amazing bikinis featured in our "What's In Your Beach Bag?" series?! We're especially loving the tribal print bikinis by Mara Hoffman.

Sometimes the quality of high-priced swimwear is well worth the splurge, but the wear and tear of the sun and saltwater can make $200+ price tags a little hard to swallow. Especially with so many great alternatives!

Luxe Lifestyle: Favorite New Purchase: Antique Oil Paintings

While strolling the town of Wilmington, Vermont and poking into several antique shops, we stumbled upon the deal of the day...
In one shop we scored two Early 20th Century New England Seascapes in gilded frames... and for a mere $90 for both! 
My husband, being an avid art collector, spotted them immediately.  We bought one for our soon to be hallway art gallery wall and one for my dad for his birthday.

Local Haunts: J Gallery

What's better than a little weekday shopping on Antique Row?! Yesterday, I popped into J Gallery, another great stop on West Palm's S. Dixie Highway that is filled with loads of furniture and decor items to fit all of your mid-century and hollywood regency needs!

Of course it's hard to stop by any of these fun shops without bringing something home. I was thrilled to find this metal faux bamboo coffee table.
   I can't wait to switch out the glass and style it! Stay tuned!
 
And because of this purchase, I will be selling my mirrored coffee table.

Luxe Decor: Upholstered Banquettes


We're in the midst of redesigning a breakfast nook for a client, and the project includes reupholstering the banquette.  Did you happen to catch the season finale of Million Dollar Decorators where Mary McDonald redesigned her nook in this gorgeous ikat print?!

There is something about a nook that makes us want to be bold! Whether through a bright color palette or fun pattern, this is one area where boldness works!
