Awhile back I spotted this beaded chandelier on Pinterest. Shortly after I came across it again on the 2Modern Blog which linked to a blog post on Gus + Lula about a how to tutorial DIY project to make the beaded chandelier.  Check out the easy steps here!

I am still loving Pinterest, as I blogged about before here. It is such a huge assortment of visual eye candy, and I have amassed a collection of images, pinned and repinned and pinned again. My collection of boards range from bathrooms to bedrooms, to living rooms to libraries, to outdoor spaces, with fun things in between like quotes, travel, and fashion. But one of my favorite boards is the “Details” board, which has images of some really unique decor details. Take a look!

I love this striped floor! {pinned from Small Shop Studio}

A funky painted mirror. {pinned from Desire to Inspire}

Pattern mix: leopard chair & modern art. {pinned by Ann Sage}

Oversize pendant light that makes a statement! {originally pinned from Rue Magazine}

True attention paid to detail, the gray taping on the back of the satin yellow chair, the Greek key motif on the chair fabric. {pinned from D magazine.}

Stripes meet chevron, in a combination I’ve never seen before! {pinned from Design Sponge}

Bookshelf painted in bright hues! This would have been a great example for my “Color Punch!” post. {pinned from BlogLovin’}

This is just a start! Looking forward to paying attention to more details!

The Moroccan Floor Poufs are really pretty too!

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Ginna Christensen, proprietor of the company 27 Ground, a collection of stunning and sophisticated area rugs.  27 Ground is based here in Southern California with a warehouse in North Carolina, and factories in India and Nepal where the rugs are hand made.  Each rug is like a piece of art.  The collections range from eco friendly, to modern and traditional, and some additional collections by designers.

Here are a few favorites ranging from the many collections (which are also featured on the website):

Awhile back, I featured a post titled “Hanging by a rope…” – with some fun, hanging beds.  I came across another image on ohdeedoh of a room with not just one, or two – but three hanging beds! Fun!

Awhile back, I featured a blog post titled, “The Un-Office Office Space” – featuring some chic, stylish office spaces that are the epitome of the generic “anti-office” space. Especially for home offices, many want a space that reflects the style of the rest of the home.  So when I recently saw this feature of stylish home offices on House Beautiful online, I knew I had to share more chic office spaces!

For more photos, and to see who’s office belongs to whom, read the full article here.

Then check out these stylish accessories that will leave your cat “scratching for more.” Finally, there is a company that does it right – The Company of Pets.com

They offer a silhouette cat scratcher made of graphite sisal (for walls or floors) and a sisal and manila rope cat scratcher in the form of “chairs” or a canine shaped cat scratcher.  All are made using sisal and manila rope, all adhesives are non toxic.

Now you can go ahead and purchase that new sofa with a little less worry!
