2016 Gift Guide for the Decorator

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! I’m so excited to head to my parents house tomorrow morning and spend the day with everyone (most importantly, my little sister’s new puppy, Colt). I hope you have fun Thanksgiving plans too.

Today’s gift guide is aimed at the person in your life who loves interior design and decorating. Whether it’s this beautiful gold bar cart (currently $40 off!), this unique rose gold lamp (currently $15 off!), or this Howdy door mat, anyone who enjoys sprucing up spaces would be thrilled to receive those gifts. 

Polka Dot Nursery

I have been browsing through Grey Likes Baby recently (of course), and I found this fun polka dot room, which I love! I saw similar gold dot decals at Land of Nod, and thought about doing a Taylor Sterling-esque room (see first picture below) for our baby girl, but Sasha thinks it’s too grown up for a nursery. I love the bookshelves, the animal hooks, the gold end table, and the gorgeous lamp. Great details! I prefer this golden nursery, but there are a lot of great elements in the room below.

I’ve made quite a bit of progress on the nursery so far – crib is ordered, dresser is built, bar cart (yes, I’m crazy) is filled with baby goodies, the canopy is in! I’ve still got to buy two bookshelves, the rugs, and our chair + ottoman. I’m going to wait until we decide on a wall color before we make rug and bedding decisions. Rifle Paper Co. announced that they’re bringing out a line of wall paper in the Spring – hopefully before June! I’d die for some Rifle floral walls.

Golden Nursery

In browsing for nursery ideas, I came across this gorgeous golden haven at On To Baby. I love the chevron wall, the Imogen Rifle Paper Co. letters, the golden bows on the curtains, and all the little decorative pieces. My older sister prefers brightly colored nurseries, whereas I lean toward simple, elegant design. What do you think?

LEIF’s Midas Touches

Leifshop

When Taylor Sterling recently posted a picture of a gorgeous geometric blanket on  Instagram from Leifshop.com, I immediately had to find it. In my search for this gorgeous throw, I fell head-over-heels for this online design store. Seriously. In love.

The bold colors, gorgeous artwork, and modern vibe of the store is right up my alley. My style is definitely West Elm rustic meets LEIF modern. I especially love their gold touches – shown above. My shopping cart is huge. I’m trying to practice self-control, but failing miserably. I need those paintings!

Our First Couches // Restoration Loving

I’ve got to admit it: I’m slightly obsessed with Restoration Hardware. They built one within the past two years at the nearby Highland Village in Houston (see picture below), and it’s absolutely gorgeous. I could buy everything in the entire store, and on Tuesday, I made my first step towards that by buying two Maxwell couches for The Manor. We got the three-over-three 9-ft couch and the regular 6-ft couch (both the 46-in luxe depth) in the Italian Brompton Cocoa. They won’t be delivered until March, which is good timing for when the wood floors will be in and the walls painted. I’m so excited!maxwell
