Thibault Wallpaper!

Love this pattern by Thibault.

It is called Starlight in a lovely bluish-aqua color.  I am seriously considering using this wallpaper in my son and daughters bathroom.










This shows the pattern overall.  It is gorgeous!

Love the easy going scroll work, it's not hoity-toity.  It's more relaxed and youthful without being babyish.











This is the vanity!!

What I really like is the light countertop with the dark/black painted wood.  Have I mentioned that I enjoy painted wood?  Well, if I haven't let's just say I really, really do.  :)

Another part I love about this vanity is the open bottom shelf.  Perfect for towels or baskets to store items.  Love the small drawers on the sides and the two doors that open in the middle.  The symmetry is perfect.

Haven't consulted the kids yet (well I ran the wallpaper by my son and he approved) but I will probably go ahead and do it anyway.  They have learned to trust me!

Alcove Beds!

Pretty and airy feel.

Enjoy the pretty window in this alcove bed.  That is unusual.




Pretty in Purple & Pink

Love the purple drapes that make this alcove bed so cozy.  What is done so right is the white linens on the bed.  With all that purple and pink the linens really needed to be a crisp fresh white.

Roomy Alcove

This is a stretch to label this as an alcove bed however, I suppose I can due to the fact that it appears as an alcove.  Love the columns, arch and bookshelves.
Gypsy Feel

Am really enjoying the lovely drapes and their embellishments.  The bedding being a bit messy and not perfectly made really gives off the gypsy feel.  So glorious and yet so almost rustic in feel.

Eye Candy & Inspiration!

Stella & Dot

What lovely jewelry. 
Pretty and Fun!

And notice the colors used here in the photo shoot.  

Turquoise and Orange!!




Bamboleo!

Such a pretty mix.  Turquoise and raspberry with gold and silver.  Interesting pattern.  Major reflection of a braid but with more  substance.











Camilla!

A new look with what has become an iconic color trend ( iconic & trend? can those two words successfully be linked? ).  

I just love this. Triple strand and bold jet the colors and bead shapes are very soothing.  Reminding one of the beach perhaps?










 Latte!

The round and oval shapes are working together as is the finish.  A pretty neutral almost with a wood look to them.
Clover Double Wrap Leather!

Gimme - Gimme!

I honestly don't believe anything more needs to be said about these bracelets.














Signature Clover Cuff

So pretty and delicate yet the size is bold and perfect.  Love the hammered silver look that has been given to this bracelet.

Check out Stella and Dot there are lots and lots more eye candy to see and love and buy and lust over!

Thibault Wallpaper

This is Thibault's Bohemian in Sage.

What made me love this pattern is the looseness of it.  It's so easy and fun.  While it comes in many other colorways I found that the sage was truly the most endearing ( to me at least ).

The pattern is lovely and so sweet.  It has a vibrant feel and yet I get a sense of calmness when enjoying it. 




The photo shows the lovely pattern and what I view as a quaintness about it.  Perhaps it is the colorway.  It has a sense of old-fashionedness ( yes, I make up words, I believe it's called creative license ) which may be due to the likening to tea-stain or faded flowers.

The staging of this photo is interesting.  One views the wallpaper as a bit contemporary but old-fashioned at the same time and the lamps lend to the contemporary side while the forsythia goes toward the old-fashioned.

Overall?  I just enjoy this so much!!

Beautiful !!

Thiabault Wallpaper!

While browsing the Thibault Wallpaper and Fabric website I stumbled across the following beautiful patterns and colors and the crazy ( in a very good way ) out let for them.  Isn't the first photo just crazy for the pattern and color?  Not only do I enjoy the wallpaper but that painting over the bed is so gorgeous.



The pattern below is called 'Girl on a See-Saw' and from the Anna French collection through Thibault.  Never been a fan of the color blue however the paring of this medium slightly water color blue with the black and silvery blue is attractive.  I also love the use of this wallpaper with the rough look trim paint.  It's kinda silver with a gray wash over making it a pretty rustic.



Now this pattern is something I would not have taken a second glance at and only because I dislike Calla Lilies ( definitely not a favorite flower of mine ).  However, and again this blue is growing on me.  I love the boldness and fresh quality of the pattern and colorway used here.  Gold and blue... who'd of thought I would go for that, eh?



OMG!!! I simply love this.  Love everything about this photo.  Fabric gets an A+.  The colors coral and turquoise get an A+.  The shape of the headboard gets an A+  The staging and the lovely watery blue of the lamp which BTW beautifully compliments the turquoise gets an A+.  And then to top it all off by pairing these two wonderful colors ( my favorite colors of all time ) with crisp white linens and soft flowing white drapes oh baby, A+ all the way.



Orange!  Coral is a very close and loving cousin of this pretty eye opening color - orange.  Orange has been one of my most favorite colors for quite some time now.  ( Growing up I loved yellow and purple - I have since refined my love and have chosen coral and turquoise perhaps due to the gemstones as well. )  Oops... back on subject... What is most appealing about this pattern and color of fabric/wallpaper is the refreshing use of the orange with white.  You just can't go wrong in pairing a single color with white/ivory/cream.  It's a no brainer.  The pattern is lovely and a bit more traditional.  Not too big and definitely not small but in a nice medium pattern repeat.
