double butter from denver.

a little while ago i was doing some research for projects and luckily stumbled across a ridiculous company out of denver, colorado -


i. think. i'm. in. love.
with everything from this company.

there are so many amazing/classic pieces that can be customized
with a powder coat finish. you really must look at their site:
armadillo coffee table
they've even personally tested the quality & durability of their own product. now that's being 'involved in the process', people.

jambox got styled.



i want a jambox. my best friend has one and it's kinda 
the best little speaker ever.
not only is the sound pretty amazing for such a little speaker but it's so simple, sleek and good lookin.
plus it's totally easy to control.
so that's my kind of jam. box.





all of these amazing images are via 'at home at home' and were  styled by laure joliet and morgan satterfield a few months back. and they're rad. these are just a few of my favorite memorable pics, so check out her site here for more.






so good, right? you can find jambox here and more of 
laure joliet here + morgan satterfield here.

love on it.

nota bene:
(latin term for 'note well' - one of 4 phrases i learn in 4 years of latin)

you do not need to over style a bath. period. end of sentence.
a graphic/sculptural piece on the back of the toilet.
simple art above.
good lighting.
and a basket for magazines on hook.

nice & simple.

UO home catalog by the selby & alex da corte.


thanks for the eye candy urban outfitters.

just took a looksie through the new UO home catalog from the selby &
alex da corte and it pretty freakin fun.


i pulled just a few of my favorite images but they also have some videos they did which are quirky & pretty hilarious (in my opinion). 

i can't stop staring at that orange desk lamp - man i want it.
#another-unnecessary-lamp


ha! cats.


great affordable textiles as usual from UO.
love that gold woven stool too - such an easy addition for summer
that gives you a little gypsy vibe.


more easy ways to bring in color.
rugs, drapery, bedding, tapestries, etc.


layer your bedding.
(insert hot guy.)


yep.


and my favorite image of them all.
sooo goood.

sometimes you just need time.


bon bon light from ana kras - gettin' all kinds of exposure
around the design world - but at first i wasn't so sure about them.
would a client really love them a few years down the road?
would it wear out its welcome?


hell. no.


customized with various colorways.


ugh. this image is sooo tacky, it's good. right?!
like grandma's comfy 1970's, never been changed, guest room.

shit. i love them.

it took me a bit to digest this but here's my take on the bon bon light:
if you love it, you love it. if you don't, you don't.
i've always said you have to fill your house with stuff you love so that it doesn't ever get trendy. 
(seriously the easiest way to not be trendy is just buy stuff you like - then it's your trend. #truth.)



these last two images are just in case you weren't sure if you
loved ana kras - cause i'm sure you do now.
they're from her blog which is just plain graphic beauty - here.
so it turns out, i just needed a little time with them
to fall in love.

the truth comes out.

hope you all had a crazy good (& safe) 4th!
i'm diving straight into it today & gettin' real with you all.
check it:


truthfully, it's not very often anymore that 
i actually get asked for a 'portfolio' -
pretty much all of my clients come from a referral of 
another client and they've seen their home 
(or my previous client has somehow convinced them without seeing it that i'm still the best - who knows?).
  so they rarely ask for a portfolio.
so i don't really have one.

boom. the truth comes out.

so when a new client asked for a portfolio of my work,
i told them i could quickly through together some iphone
shots of my recent projects. soooo professional. right?!

shiz.

well, i did throw together a quick portfolio &
here it is:



not too bad for a 15 minute project.
(or so i'm going to continue telling myself...)

in conclusion (my best high school ending to a paper voice):
this chick needs to pull together a real (read: not iphone)PORTFOLIO!
in the meantime, these will work.

straight tease: we are going to start offering e-interiors
from erica lawton interiors sooooon!
a way for us to help you design online, with a budget &
from anywhere in the world.
oooohhhhh ya. it's gettin' big.
