Amanda Peet’s Guest Room

I keep coming back to this bedroom from Amanda Peet’s home pictured in Domino magazine. I love the muted greens layered with various patterned florals and touches of yellow and ruby red accents. I wonder if I could paint something on the walls similar to the motif using a block print and small detailing with a brush. The space just looks so comfortable and lived in. Love!

J.Crew Goes to Morocco

It seems even mass-market preppy brand J.Crew has jumped on the trendy Moroccan bandwagon. No matter how much I see the trend done this Spring I honestly can’t get enough. I love the color and patterning that so apparent in the architecture and culture of Morocco. I snatched up the orange dress below because truly I couldn’t live without it. I told I friend,”I don’t know if the dress looks so amazing on me but I am so in love with the fabric I will wear it anyway.” Check out more from the catalog now in mailboxes everywhere: j.crew.com.

New Ethnic Pieces at Wisteria

Woven rattan leaf chair, $349 wisteria.com.

Wisteria has some great new ethnic pieces now available online. I love this colorful rattan number above. I can imagine it equally looking cool on my porch or in my living room. I really love the idea of the chair and headboard (below) mixing in with my John Robshaw textiles…maybe in my guest room? An instant transport to a exotic local—no plane ticket required.
