Worlds Away Lighting

I've been looking for lighting for a client. I want alternatives to a typical chandelier. I found these at Worlds Away.

 The simple pendant has never looked so fun and flirty. Can a light fixture flirt? Adorable.
 
 The star fixture has been around quite awhile but it still can be a bit of a surprise. Unexpected and elegant.
 I love the reflective value of this mirrored fixture. It would work in either a traditional or modern setting. Gorgeous
Another floral pendant, I love these. They are a lively, lovely detail to add in a room.

Victorian Spring


Lafayette Square, an area in the city of St Louis, is known for its wonderful Victorian architecture. The beautiful painted Victorian homes and town houses are amazing in the spring. The details of the buildings are called out in full color. These colors combined with the brilliant colors of spring are glorious.

 This vibrant colors of this town house are stunning at any time. The flowering trees of spring are a wondrous addition.


 I love the green, organized garden of this stately home.

 The row houses are alike in architecture but each is painted in its own array of color.
 The intricate details make each house special and distinct from its neighbors.



Its all in the details and the wonders of a Victorian Spring.

Wallcoverings From Osborne & Little And Harlequin

I like wallcovering or wallpaper, whatever you want to call it. What I like about these wallcoverings from Osborne & Little and Harlequin is the updated, modern style they have.  Even when used in a traditional setting they bring a modern aesthetic. They are all fresh and vibrant.

 The Benvarden from O&L is a wonderful combination of pattern and color. It looks great on this wall as an accent.
 Kikko Trellis is also from O&L. It brings a sophisticated, modern style and looks beautiful wtih the collection of white ceramics.
 This tradtional O&L damask pattern, Ressonico works well in this modern setting.
 O&L's Stradivari is a curvaceous wonder. I love the elegance mixed with a bit of glamour.
 Wild Chrysanthemum, a pattern from the archives of Osborne & Little looks perfect in today's interiors.
 This Harlequin pattern is spirited and lively with the white painted furniture.
 An updated floral combined with modern furniture is a stunning look.
 Sleek modern furniture with fresh spring flowers creates an inviting setting
 This wallcovering is a perfect background to the white and turquoise furniture and accessories.
 I love this Harlequin wallcovering as an accent wall in a bedroom. The bright white bedding against the lively floral background is wonderful.
 A stylized floral with clean, modern furniture...
 Modern style likes wallcovering.
Vibrant, vivacious, glamorous
 A sublte neutral color palette is highlighted with a monochromatic large scale floral.

Wallcovering in an entry makes a great first impression.

 Another stunning pattern from Harlequin.
 The coral in the background allows the neutrals to stand out and make a statement.
 A wonderful combination of fabric and wallcovering from Harlequin.
 The bold color palette is balanced by the pattern of the wallcovering.
 The curved lines of the furniture, the open pattern of the wallcovering, shades of teal and white; these design elements create and elegant, graceful room.
Wallcovering brings an additional layer to a room. Color, pattern, texture can all be added with this one element.
