Baby will giggle and coo nestled in this stylish modern bouncer while Mom enjoys her morning cup of joe in the iconic tulip chair!
I am looking forward to these precious mornings filled with laughter and chaos. Less than 6 weeks to go!

Varoooom! Baby will love rocking away on this super retro Vespa inspired rocker and Mom deserves the latest color blocking trend with this neon deco style necklace and modern but classic shaped clutch!
Barcelona is the best of both worlds.
Relaxed and Energetic, Muted and Vibrant, Classical and Modern.
No wonder it made my favorite cities list!
Let’s take a quick design trip to this amazing city inspired by it’s iconic artists and exquisite architecture.
Salvador Dali surrealism drips from this metallic chandelier by Terzani from Scott + Cooner.
I love this vibrant Girl before a Mirror print by the Spanish native, Pablo Picasso. It adds a lovely pop of color.
Inspired by the arches of the Sagrada Familia Cathedral, this modern dining table by Makers Eye makes a beautiful sculptural centerpiece.
Gaudi-esque mosaic collage rug from the Rug Company is a stunning anchor for our Barcelona Dining Room.
We can’t have Barcelona without a nod to the toro, check out this Jonathan Adler Horn Sculpture!
Taking cues from the Casa Mila’s contoured shape; the Tobias mirror from Made Goods compliments Gaudi’s free form style.
Combining contemporary with traditional Spanish style in this Dreanert Dining Chair from Scott + Cooner and an antique 17th century intricately carved chest from 1st Dibs.
Lastly, the streets of Barcelona are covered in hexagon shaped tiles . Don’t you love this modern wood floor in the same shape?!
Have you visited Barcelona?
What was your favorite site?
I hope you all enjoyed my new series for Hello, Splendor, City Inspitred!
You did!?
Wonderful! Because I will be making an appearance here more often!
YAY!
So I’ve got another one for ya… quick and simple ways you can spruce up a space.
Let’s get started!
We all have them… the four legged beast that greets our guests and the UPS guy.
(No, I’m not talking about your spunky teacup yorkie)
My question is, why is your entry console being used as a landing spot for junk mail and trident wrappers?
Tame and dress up your naked entry console in 5 easy steps…
Step 1. Lighting is everything. Place matching column lamps on each end of the table. I can guarantee you no woman considers the dreaded recessed down facing can light a friend.
Step 2. Hello, gorgeous! Now that we have flattering lighting, hang a round or oval mirror and center on the table. It will create a bit of sparkle and makes the entry feel larger. Plus, everyone likes to glance at themselves when coming and going!
(Don’t lie, you know you pass by a store front window and check yourself out)
Step 3. Add an ottoman in an interesting shape or a cube in a funky pattern. This extra pop creates a nice balanced vignette and gives off a playful vibe.
Step 4. Books make wonderful accessories for any surface! Find 2 or 3 books with bold graphic spines and stack them largest to smallest. You can even top them off with a small object like a shell from your recent beach vaca!
Step 5. Stop and smell the roses. Flowers and plants add an organic and fresh feel to any space. Plus, they smell so good! But, if you are like me, you forget to water the entry plant. I stick with succulents, they are low maintenance and come in a variety of colors and textures. So you have a brown thumb? Don’t worry, faux plants make a wonderful substitute.
See, that wasn’t so bad and now there absolutely no room for those tempting pre approvals (shred ‘em!).

I am so excited to be blogging on Hello, Spendor and starting up a new series, City Inspired!
In this series I will be sharing with you some of my
favorite cities and design inspired by those destinations!
First stop, London!
The thing I love about London is the mix of traditional and contemporary.
A stunning example of that is my favorite museum in the city, the British Museum.
Starting at the top right:
A modern twist on a traditional Windsor crystal chandelier in this white Minka chandelier .
Keeping with the traditional architectural finishes,
this wood panel wallcovering by Andrew Martin should fool any guest!
This limited edition art print of HRH crown jewels by Ann Carrington was appropriately made
out of pearl buttons!
The timeless Chesterfield sofa in leather by Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams
is a piece that will never go out of style.
Speaking of style… this quirky coffee table book
of Britain’s own Vivienne Westwood is a library must have.
A simple and modern cocktail table with mother of pearl
inlay from Oly Studio is perfect for high tea and crumpets.
England’s own official flag makes a statement as
a bold and graphic area rug from who else, Jonathan Adler!
I always found pocket watches to be so charming
and just love this printed pillow from Square Feathers.
There’s just something so regal and proper about
this golden horse lamp from Barbara Cosgrove Lamps!
A modern interpretation of the wing back chair from Ironies and paired
with a whimsical lion paw foot stool from Oly Studio.
Don’t you just love this contemporary bar cart from Arteriors, also
known as a drink trolley?! Makes a perfect tea server… scratch that… stout
server!
Keeping the original character of a space is so important,
like this herringbone parquet wood flooring. Remember, not everything has to
look brand new!
