take a seat...

Good seating is the focal point and staple of any design.

The green Antique Lounge is so chic, elegant, and stylish...so inspired.

You can purchase a similar burlap chair at {Urban Barn}, in Escondido, CA.

Love the bare bone ripped loveseat, so perfect for photoshoots! Check out more of the above shoot by

If you notice most of the pieces are antique or vintage seating reupholstered in new modern fabric.

Love it, so my style~

A day of Inspiration

Today I don't have one specific theme, just a collaboration of inspirational shots.

I Heart All Things British!

Have you noticed whatever comes out of the UK is always a style MUST HAVE?

Take the British Flag for example, I could literally have Jack strategically placed in every room of my house. Yes every room, including my daughters room with a fun rug like {Jonathan Adler's}, 

Union Jack Zebra Rug.

Most Think...The Who, Think...Hip, Think...Mary Quant, Think...Style

Think...swinging london, Think...Trendy, Think...60's Mod UNION JACKS

I however, think.. style, think... vintage, think... london, think.. punk, and think mixed,  it can be one

amazing styled design inspiration of projects.

When I am out scouring a flea market or an estate sale, I am always on the search for 

vintage union jack flags. The flags are perfect for making pillows, cushions, headboards, or framing and hanging on your wall as art.

I personally could recover every era of furniture with it!

Not to mention many companies now design the flag in many different colors.

Loving the framed Union Jack Flag! Found at {Z Gallerie}.

Good ol' {Vivienne Westwood}. I heart her!

You can take her punk sensibilities home with her series of Union Jack designs carried at

{The Rug Company}.

This Antique Sofa is too die for!!!

I can see this in a funky, hip, london coffee shop or at {Nordstroms}as part of

{Ben Sherman's} retail display.

 

Fashion model, Kate Moss... enough said!

You must check out this months {Adore Magazine}, the british addition.

Right Now I'm Loving......

Antique Toledo Stools

Okay folks, I may need your help with this, as I am loving and currently on the hunt to find me a set of Antique Toledo Stools! 

Toledo by no other name is just a classic furniture company who specializes in strong, sturdy, heavy, long lasting factory machine stools and typewriter stands.

Have you noticed that over the years stools have gotten simple, lighter, and cheaper?

Stools have dramatically changed, now thinner, cushioned and really have dropped off the interior decor palette. Compared to back in the day when they were heavy, made with plane wood, and used as a tool, not a display, accent, or look.

Oh my gosh PINK, REALLY!! Your killing me {Living Inside}.

That's it, I am now on a mission!

Blog under construction!

To all my followers!

The style{d} blog is in the midst of a blog re-design. You may see some things change over the next couple of days but bare with me as it will be finished by the end of next week. 

If you have any trouble viewing pages, it is only temporary.

So please CHECK back soon!

style{d} can't wait to show it off and announce our blog designer!

Royalty!

I am not sure what it is but ever since I saw the UK artist {Ann Carrington's} "Pearly Queen of Bow" hanging on The Novogratz wall. I have been designing my living room around it, 

hoping, one day it will be hanging above my sofa! :)

Ann uses pearlescent buttons on black canvas to make this unique piece.

Can't even imagine all the detail work that goes into each and everyone of her pieces!

You may have seen this piece of Royalty on the hit show {9bydesign}, the self made designers

Cortney & Bob Novogratz own the hip {Sixx Design}.

They love Ann Carrington's work so much, that they tend to use her art in almost every design they do.

On a total side note, I love love love Cortney & Bob! They're design style completely screams ME to a "T"! I fall head over heals every time they take vintage industrial, antiques and throw them in with bright modern pieces.

If I ever had the money and option of hiring an interior designer duo to design my office or home.

These two would be it!!!
