Bring DVF Home

Who doesn't love Diane von Furstenberg? I personally think she'd make a fabulous dinner guest, but I guess having her line in your home in the next best thing, as she's recently launched a home line at Bloomingdale's. In true DVF fashion there are an array of prints and a plethora of colors. While what she has to offer may not be everyone's taste and you may not choose to go all out; it would be easy to add a few pieces for some pops of color or glamour here and there.  I wish there were more items for the rest of the home, other than just the kitchen and bedroom, but I'm hopeful more is to come in the future. I've included some of my favorites below.

If I Had an Extra $27,558

.....I could buy this room from Jonathan Adler. Wouldn't that be nice!?  Talk about easy decorating and shopping. Done and done!

Of course I adore it all, but few of my favorite pieces are the Morrow Slipper chair , Jere tree, Gazelles & Mohair throw

 Bargello Waves, Puzzle and Chevron pillows

Is everyone else as obsessed with this show and the Novogratz family as I am?  I wish each episode lasted longer than and hour, I can't get enough!  They seem so fun and and cool and appear to be totally awesome parents with well-behaved kids.  I don't see how they find the time to create the awesome spaces they do, but I sure do love their work.  I sooo want to live in one of their houses. Their work is funky and modern, but also cozy and livable, incorporating new and vintage.  I especially like the many infusions of color and that not everything is matchy-matchy.  Great inspiration.  Check out their Sixx Design website to learn more.

Pep up your drinks and your table - for a bargain!

While perusing the Hostess with the Mostess, I saw this adorable idea for swizzle sticks. So cute and so easy! You just stick a mum on a little flag and voila - a decorated drink! They would be a great addition to pretty much any type of celebration; a bridal or baby shower, wedding reception, birthday party or just a fun, summer get-together. The beverage decs were originally featured in InStyle's Southern Weddings gallery.

Also on the InStyle site were these wonderful and affordable centerpieces, one of their 6 Chic Decor Ideas. These too, could be functional for numerous events.
