Our interior design continues — our designer, Kelley Proxmire, recently came by to discuss our formal living room plans and we are orienting the space around the gorgeous painting seen above and a beautiful green rug we purchased at Jayson Home a few years ago. I temporarily styled the table above with a couple of coffee table books and accessories we had on hand, but I am eyeing a few different coffee table books that might fit better with the color scheme, especially this gorgeous Hirst book and maybe this Kelly Wearstler? I also absolutely love this Sargent painting (its image really captures some of the sisterhood I wrote about here) and it would be fun to work it into the stack.
One of the reasons I chose Kelley as our interior designer is that she is not afraid of color and is known for her pattern mixing. I like bold, different, interesting! The finds below reflect that mentality. Like, why have a boring folding chair when you can have this one?! And why have a standard lamp when you can have this rattan one ($75?!)?

I am hoping to buy a few items for my son’s room in the coming weeks…really love this side table, this train table (grows with the child — just add the longer legs!), anything in Katie Ridder’s beetlecat print, this new crib sheet, and some sort of large swivel chair to read books in…perhaps something like this. I need to think a bit more on these items but his room is due for some sprucing.
P.S. If your day has gone haywire — it can be helpful to remember that you are probably where you need to be.
P.P.S. If you’re battling perceived criticism: think of the howling wolves.
