The refreshing color combination of hot pink and orange is one of my favorites. It looks great by itself, but in my opinion, even better when paired with other bright colors. Let’s have a looksie:

Latest Obsession: Gold Flatware!

January 5, 2012 in Entertaining / Table Setting


HORCHOW

Hi Friends! How is the new year treating you? Broken any resolutions yet? Today I want to share another one of my gold obsessions: the gold flatware! (bet you already figured that out from the post title, huh? Pretend to be surprised please ;-) And yes, I know gold flatware has been blogged and re-blogged, probably re-re-blogged too, but I just want to be part of the circle before it seals up (not true, I just couldn’t come up with anything else to post (not true, I just WANT TO post it, so let’s leave it at that)). I know, I’m very entertaining…

Tray Chic!

January 13, 2011 in Chic, Entertaining / Table Setting

Designs by three of a kind

Tray not to get too excited about this post! Okay, enough lame puns (for now). We’ve been seeing gorgeous serving trays everywhere for the longest time, so it’s only fair it gets its own post, right?

Designs by three of a kind

I came across this website called Designs by Three of a Kind, and they offer a lot of cute stuff for your home, including these personalized lucite trays.

Doesn’t this take you right back to the beach?

You can choose the background pattern and color, as well as the monogram style and initials. Fab, isn’t it?

*

The lucite tray isn’t just for serving refreshments, it works (and looks) great as a desk organizer too, like on this chic desk featured in Rue Magazine. I love the fact that the owner of this desk actually put a gold tray into the acrylic tray.

*

You could always buy a regular tray and customize it yourself to save some bucks. This one is available at CB2.

*

I just LOVE this studded acrylic tray!! It is made by Nicole Cohen and was previously available in her  Etsy store.

*

white tray, blue tray

These two gorgeous trays are available at Plantation. LOVE the handles!

*

The unwritten rule is: if Lonny Magazine says it goes, it definitely goes!  A chic zebra tray keeps family photos and pencils in perfect order in this cute work space.

*

These FAUX zebra trays are pretty cute too, right? I really like the handles on these. Available at Executive Gifts.

*

Z gallerie has a lot of cute trays, like this black lacquer one in a faux crock finish. Click here to read a tutorial on Apartment Therapy by Eddie Ross on how to create your own high end crock tray!

*

Another tray by Z gallerie. This might just be a bit too much for me, but it comes in other colors too.

*

A cute mirrored tray, also Z gallerie.

*

Now this one is just gorgeous. It’s available at Plantation, of course (they carry  gorgeous items only!)

Brown Blue and Gold Dining

December 30, 2010 in Bright, Brown, Dining room, Dramatic, Entertaining / Table Setting, Modern, New Years Eve

My Home Ideas featured the gorgeous dining rooms of three of their editors, and this one just blew my socks of. First of, I love dark rooms with crisp white contrast. The bright blue table setting just makes it even more appealing.

*

Now this I like; a great plate mix on gold chargers. Here you can also see how the ribbon was attached to the tablecloth ;)

*

It’s the little touches that make a party extra special. I love this idea of serving drinks on a cute tray.
