Pink and orange is one of my all-time favorite color combinations, and when I saw these photos, my heart skipped a beat. This heavenly dining table is styled by Cynthia Martyn of Cynthia Martin Events for a wedding photo shoot.
ERIC HUGHES for ELLE DECOR via Mademoiselle Rose
This room was featured in the September 2005 issue of Elle decor. I find it so fascinating how many of the elements in this room, designed at least 6 years ago, are at the height of fashion today. Gold accents? Check! Chevron pattern? Check! Mirrored furniture? Check! Lucite details? Check! The neat book stacks for coffee table decor? Check!

LYNN MORGAN DESIGN / STRIPE / CORAL
Remember THIS home designed by Lynn Morgan? Well here’s another favorite amongst her work. She started with a crisp white base and layered black to balance out the visual weight of the fireplace, and popped it all with coral pink. The stark color contrast is underlined by the strict symmetry and hard edges. A bit Scandinavian if you ask me =)
INTERIORS MAGAZINE / LYNNE SCALO
That artwork. Amazing.

Usually I stick to decor on this blog, but what I’ve experienced the last couple of days makes me want to remind you all to be thankful for every breath you get to take. My beloved black persian cat Prince Plastic became violently ill on Tuesday night, I saw him gasp for air as his lungs filled with fluid, and there was nothing I could do. He miraculously made it through the night, but the condition worsened and he was put to rest on Wednesday. 36 sleepless hours. Take a deep breath and
ASHLEY WHITTAKER via THE GLAM LAMB
This beauty is one of my all-time favorite vignettes, and a long-time resident of my inspiration folder. It’s a simple symmetric vignette, but the simplicity is part of the beauty in my opinion. When every item is perfection, a simple vignette will only look well edited, right? Apart from the obvious (greek key console and gray zebra ottoman) it’s the wonderful color combination of the cobalt blue artwork and the apple green lamps that sucks me in. I’m going to create a few new vignettes in my home, so I surfed the interwebs trying to find a few pieces that would create the same appeal (while costing as little as possible of course). Here’s what I ended up with:

GREEN CERAMIC LAMPS / OCEAN ART PRINT / CONSOLE TABLE / ZEBRA OTTOMAN / CLAM SHELL
Total price: $792.
I’m totally crushing on that ocean art print! I think it will be mine ;-)
I also made two discoveries today, namely that a greek key console table like the one Ashely used in her vignette, would cost more than twice as much ($1775 to be exact) as the entire vignette I slapped together. The other thing I discovered is that it’s impossible to get a hold of an ottoman upholstered in gray zebra fabric.
Also, I wish we could refer to more than one ottoman as ottomen… Enjoy the rest of your day! xox Linda
