{Wearstlerized}

I have been a huge fan of Kelly Wearstler for years. I came across pictures of a project she had recently completed for the remodel and interior design of a boutique hotel. Instantly, I was drawn to her modern and sophisticated design style. I still want to stay at these hotels just for the fabulous interiors! I soon discovered that she is just as talented when it comes to fashion design. And to add to that, she can make a killer jewelry collection which I am still waiting to get my hands on!

The pieces below are some I've been coveting for a while.
Clockwise from top left:

1. Decorative Bronze Legs-Who doesn't love a great pair of legs?! ;)

2. Asymmetrical Squares Tray-Perfect for an ottoman that doubles as a coffee table.

3. Bejeweled Bottle Opener-So pretty displayed on a bar.

4. Studded Vase

5. Elliott Chair-I'm in love with this chair....modern but sill has that 70's feel. It also comes in black.

6. Memphis Marble Candlesticks-My fave color combo!

7. Marble Left Eye Skull-Great unexpected decorative piece

7. Marble Table-So chic, so elegant. A girls can dream, right!?!

I've loved these Brass Kaleidoscope's for quite some time. I was stunned to find similar ones at Pigment (first featured here) for a fraction of the cost! Even better, the version at Pigment have wall mounts while the Kelly Wearstler version are strictly for table top decor. Now, mine live happily in my "work-in-progress" living room. Can you guess which one is the original? Ok...Pigment's version is number 1!

DIY-Terrarium

On a family trip to San Diego in November my sister took my mom and I to the cutest home boutique, Pigment, in North Park. They had the most amazing "build-your-own-terrarium" materials so naturally I had to try! I do not have a good history with keeping plants alive, so succulents are a great option if you do not have a green thumb:) I love the way they turned out. How fun would it be to have a DIY terrarium girls night? A little wine and a cute project....FAB!

Materials:

Open-face terrarium (I bought mine at West Elm)

Potting Soil

Pumice Pieces

Terrarium appropriate plants (air plants, succulents)

Step 1: Using a spoon, add base sand to the bottom of orb. Smooth.

Step 2: Scoop pumice onto base sand in the desired area for succulents. Add 1/2 inch of soil over pumice. Place and submerge plant into soil, covering roots and smooth with spoon.

Step 3: Spoon in top sand all over soil for coverage.

Step 4: Add decorative elements.

Step 5: Hydrate plants. For succulents water every few weeks. Air plants let sit in water for an hour once a week.Voila!!
