Along the theme of the weekend of Shop Local, I'm sharing a few gift ideas from a few of my local luxury loves: Luxe Objects and Lifesquire. First from Luxe Objects in Nichols Hills Plaza, How about some luxurious slippers? ... on a side note, those white ones would be GORGEOUS for a bride! Child Perfume, offered exclusively in Oklahoma City at Luxe Objects. These beautiful leather keychains... A cashmere wrap in a … [Read more...]

Black Bar
This week I am 100% completely immersed in a home makeover project. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but it's bigger than I anticipated for sure. Not quite sure if it's because I haven't done it too often or what, but I guess I didn't realize the fumes and mess and displacement it would be for our whole crew. What kinda make-over? This space.... but today I'm specifically talking THIS space.... ... the bar. I shared … [Read more...]
Work Space
Do you work? As in not necessarily a job, but even if you don't work, have a space where you sit to focus and get your stuff done? Productivity space. Maybe that's how I should phrase it... Some of us have an office job where we have no choice in our space, and some do, and if you don't work, then we can use it as a "productivity space". Whatever the case, I'm talkin about space that you need to get your s**t done, either for your job, your … [Read more...]
Drum Pendant Chandelier
Sometimes changing one thing up in a room can give a completely different look. It could be changing the furniture around. It could be removing something from the space. In this case, I'm adding to my space. I've done something like this before but changed it up instead of adding to it. You can see it HERE. I've had this fabulous light fixture from Luxe Objects now for about 6 … [Read more...]
Minted Beautiful Distractions
It's already mid October which means the holidays are about to creep up on us before we know it. And me being the busy bee that I am will have gasped come December 10th going, HOLIDAY CARDS? WHAT HOLIDAY CARDS? So I'm beginning the process of searching for what I'm going to do this time around. I stopped by Minted to see what they had because I was so pleased with what I did last year. I found some other lovelies from them HERE back … [Read more...]
Luxe Home Accessories
Yesterday I shared a bit of my home and had big issues... TV placement, wall tearing up or keeping as is, but I think what makes a room special are all the extras that was place in our space. On our coffee tables, in our bookshelves, on our sideboards and end tables. They're the little "sprinkles" for our room. Kinda like our jewelry is to a great outfit, these home accessories make our rooms sparkle just a bit more. I recently found some … [Read more...]
Built Ins Dilemma
I updated my kitchen several years ago, and because it's connected to my family room, the family room needed to follow. But it didn't. I need to paint the walls, change up the woodwork as well, and then of course the fluff will follow with furniture, window treatments and accessories. Here is why I have been dragging my feet and the issue I've been having. The built in for the TV. We built our house like 17 years … [Read more...]
Hautelook: Statements By J Home Furnishings
I'm a sucker for online deals and steals. As much as I love local, I love great finds I find online. Places like Hautelook have amazing finds on high end designer clothing, accessories, jewelry, home furnishings. They have these "flash sales" that last several days, then they move onto other things, but of course in all these wonderful categories. So as I'm opening my emails this week, these lovelies from Statements By J happened to be … [Read more...]
Greys, Grays and Golds, Part 2
A little while ago I shared my love for grays and golds with you HERE. I don't know what it is about color and metal combination, but I've always loved it and I think I always will. Here are a few sightings in my home (not including all my mirrored furniture that has both silver and gold.... ) ... a few things I spotted at our local fabulous West Elm... ... and of course some online window … [Read more...]
Pomanders and Other Fall Ideas
Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year, even though I worship the sun (a huge no-no, I know!) and love the beach. It evokes a feeling of change, where scents and colors and everything around us changes. Almost instantly. Pomanders are an easy decorative thing to make, a DIY type of thing, that anyone can do using 2 things from the grocery store... oranges and whole cloves. That's it. Pierce the cloves in any design you … [Read more...]
European Modern Furniture: BD Home
Right in our own back yard in Classen Curve lies this gem of a furniture store, unlike any other I've seen in my area. It's one of those places that has things that you see in fabulous interior design magazines, like Elle Decor or Veranda or Town & Country. BD Home is an upscale furniture store designed to meet the needs of those desiring unique European modern contemporary high end furnishings. Most things on the floor … [Read more...]
Greys, Grays and Golds in the Home
I've never been into the whole "matchy-matchy" thing when it comes to interior design. And I've always loved these two colors combined... gray and gold (or grey and gold, depending on where you live). I love the warmth the golds bring into a space to offset the coolness of the grey tones. There are sprinkles of this all throughout my house, but I wanted to show you some other fancies around... Some in bigger ways, other in the littlest … [Read more...]
