Marble Farmhouse Table

Marble Farmhouse Table 

I love the vintage vibe coming from this Marble Farmhouse Table It actually reminds me of a vintage Singer sewing machine my mom had when I was little, but without all the moving metal and churning parts (trust me, it was beautiful but scary).  The sturdy black base and marble top make for a fun contrast and also makes it a perfect little spot for a desk, or kitchen prep table. 30” h x 50”w x 28”d.

Westbury Kitchen Island

Westbury Kitchen Island

If you have an expansive wrap around kitchen that serves enough space for a casual dining room table, then you might have room for this! Upgrade to a little showpiece where you can still sit and dine if you wish, but also use for a prep area (regular table heights can be straining on your back), and use for much needed storage space as well!  I’d like to see your current table do all of that and still look this delightfully handsome at the end of the day.  I like the heavy turned-legs, rubbed black finish, and double doors on either side for ease of access. The island on the right has a stainless steel top, which is a fantastic prep surface.

LaBulleKenzo Spa

la bulle kenzo spa in paris

LaBulleKenzo Spa in Paris is self described as an internal adventure.  An experience more intimate, more sensory and more emotional.  A suspended space, outside the time, where to wander, all the direction in awakening: to the hiding-place of subtle perfumes, of unexpected cares, of new sensations.  What a happy place!  The brilliant yellow interior of one of the spa’s inner rooms is so bright, it practically vibrates with energy.  Mosaic tiles and a mirror ball move little squares of light around the room enveloping the lucky visitor. Yellows are warm and inviting, what a perfect color choice for this boutique spa!

Tripod floor lamps are hot right now; they blend in seamlessly in a converted loft, in an artsy up-town office, or your home library/ den.  I love the nickel finish and the overly emphasized industrial feel of theRoyal Master Sealight Floor Lamp from Restoration Hardware

Every room in your house should have something in common; spectacular lighting!  In living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and kitchens, you should have three types of lighting:General Lighting: This is the general light that highlights the size and use of the room at hand.  Pot-lights, ceiling fixtures or even chandeliers may serve in this purpose.  Always have your general lighting on a dimmer switch so you may control the ambience, then your dining room table can serve as a craft table or to set the stage for a truly romantic evening.Task Lighting: This type of lighting refers to reading lamps, stair marker lights, under-cabinet lighting, and basically anything that will help you see better for performing a particular task.
