I love gallery walls. Like, obsessed. One of the few things left to be done in the Manor is hanging stuff on the walls. For some reason, Sasha is afraid to make holes in the wall, so he’s pushed back on me about all of the prints I’ve wanted to hang. I’ve convinced him to do a gallery wall in one of the guest rooms, and I’ve laid everything out on the floor for another in the study. I’m still not sure it’s perfect yet, so decided to pull some inspiration. My favorites below! What are your thoughts on gallery walls?
Baby Shower Invites + Decor
Often people pick a party theme, then search for the invitation. Stationery lovers may be inclined to reverse that process (i.e. I totally would). While babies aren’t on my brain personally, lots of Sasha’s friends either have kids or are ready to have them soon, so I’ve been on the lookout for good baby shower material. I found these gorgeous three shower invites on Minted, and decided to brainstorm decorations to complement the cards. BHLDN is the ultimate place for cake stands, vases, garlands, etc. Wedding planning is over, but party planning is ongoing!
Amanda Dawbarn’s Golden Home
I love Glitter Guide – truly, it’s amazing. I especially love the Style at Home series. Amanda Dawbarn, a co-creator of 100 Layer Cake, was recently featured on the series, + y’all… I’m in love with her home! The gold accents everywhere are incredible – I’ve just added a few of the items to our registry, like the gold Bodum French press + the gold + white Mr. Ice Bucket. Already on our list? That KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer at a cool $350. I don’t even bake! But I promise that I would if I owned that (in my dreams).
Inside Liz Bachman’s Home
Glitter Guide is amazing, truly amazing. Every time I get on the site, I’m so inspired – this time by Liz Bachman’s (of Grey & Scout) home. Her taste is impeccable, and I love every single detail. My favorite setups are the bath and the desk – I cannot wait to decorate both of these spaces in The Manor. Aren’t these pictures incredible? Please add iMac, white and gold shelf, and gorgeous gold rim mirror to my wishlist!
Lusting at Ikat @ C. Wonder
I must admit that I am currently obsessed with Ikat print, so naturally I’m lusting over everything C. Wonder. The flagship store opened in fall 2011 by Chris Burch (ex-husband of Tory), and it has the most gorgeous clothes and accessories; however, I’m in love with their home goods. The Ikat plates, mugs, and pillows are amazing – see below. The picnic set will definitely be acquired, as will the P jewelry box (after the wedding, of course). Some of my favorite finds below!
1) Wool Herringbone Throw Blanket, 2) Ikat Dinnerware, 3) Wicker Picnic Basket, 4) Monogrammed Pillow, 5) Monogrammed Jewelry Box, 6) Ikat Placemat, 7) Ikat Dinner Plate, 8) Lacquered Serving Tray, 9) Ikat Print Nesting Bowls, 10) X’s and O’s Ikat Pillow Cover, 11) Ikat Cloth Napkins
