Carrie's Bed in Sex in The City II

Did you see Sex In the City II this past weekend? We thought it wasn't as bad as the reviews said it was... Seriously, don't you think the critics take this movie a bit too literally?  After all, the movie is all about the clothes and the fantasies...

Anyway, did you like the bed in Carrie's and Big's apartment? We do. And we know exactly where to get it too.

The bed is made by Vanguard Furniture and you can see it here (it is shown as tufted but it's an optional feature.  You can get it untufted plain as shown in the movie.  The nail heads can be changed to polished nickel  as well).

The fabric, which is what made the bed, is by Kravet Couture and it's called Velvet Gate, pattern number 29868.  Shown in the movie in black/white, it is also available in other colorways. The fabric is a linen/velvet combination. Very, very pretty in person.  You'd love it.

The fabric is priced at $149/yard but you can get it for $104/yard at the Kravet fabric section on our site. Enter the pattern number "29868" (the quotation marks is recommended for precise search) and you can see all the colorways available.

Gorgeous Beach Shell Chandelier from Currey

We're crazy about this new beach shell chandelier from Currey & Co. Isn't it marvelous? Can you see this with a white linen couch and white-washed floor? You'll need a very high ceiling though. This chandelier is huge!

The size is 37rd x 64h and the price is $5750 including shipping, a little expensive, perhaps, but oh it's so worth it.

This will be posted on our Currey Chandeliers section soon so please check back for more info.

buddha at home...

I don't have many idols of Buddha, but I just love the serenity that permeates the space that has the face of peace. Today I am sharing with you a few arrangements of Buddha that I have managed to photograph at home over a period of time. Hope you like them.

The post on decor inspired by love for Buddha is on it's way, so stay tuned:-)

Peace...

I deeply apologize for going missing from this space.

No excuses. Just didn't have anything inspiring enough to blog about.

Have just returned from our trip to Ladakh. The face of peace appears before me time and again...

Hope to put together a post on oriental/buddhist influence in home decor soon:-)

Where Did You Get That? Geometric Wallpaper in 9 by Design

Do you watch 9 by Design on Bravo?  It's on Tuesday night and it's about a couple in New York with 6 or 7 kids and their design business.  They are self-taught designers making a living by fixing houses for other people and flipping houses themselves. 

Anyway, if you watch the show you'll see that the show's opening has a geometric wallpaper background that is also used in their living room (in purple!).

 If you like that pattern, you can find it at Cole & Sons Wallpaper.  It's called Hick's Hexagon and comes a few colorways.

We saw this picture via Coco + Kelly today when were trying to do everything possible to procastinate working.  You see, when you run your own business there is no such thing as a day off! 

But we shouldn't complain.  We love, love working for ourselves.

Anway, if you like the wallpaper shown here (it's very bold and dramatic in person), you can find it at Cole & Sons wallpaper. The pattern number is 77/1102-CS and it comes in three colorways.
