I suggested: Traditional Living Room Rugs

If you want to bring a traditional feel to your living room, classic and timeless décor is a must, says Nadia Watts of Nadia Watts Interior Design. "When I think of traditional design, I think of older pieces with rich stories [that are] worn and loved, made by hand, and [have] patterns from the past," she says. "Traditional design emphasizes symmetry and order. It's typically harmonious and put together, but not overly fancy."



Friday Finds!

How much do you love Fridays? I’ve been pretty busy (crazy, out-of-my-mind busy) lately, which is a great problem to have, so I’m really looking forward to this weekend.

While I dream of what to do with a few hours to myself, take a look at these fabulous Friday finds:

New York designer Milly de Cabrol’s new (small) apartment by the High Line. What do you think? (I love the desk facing the tall windows! Hello, city.)

From New York to rural South Carolina: For a three-minute break from your busy day, take a peek through the pictures of this remodeled farmhouse. I love the use of wood, tin, and rope—They feel so perfectly at home.

Back to Denver: Local furniture design house Newell Design Studio makes this beautiful and funky desk. How would it look in your office?

 And up to Boulder: Do you know about è bella? This little shop sells beautifully designed modern rugs and pillows. (And if you’re feeling the winter doldrums, a few bright, bold pillows might just cheer you up until spring shows up, don’t you think?)

Have a great weekend. See you back here next week!

Retail Therapy: West Elm

Oh West Elm, how I love thee!

I could walk into West Elm every week and find something I love and need! This week, I found a few diamond- and chevron-inspired design items that made my heart go pitter-pat.

What's your favorite national retailer? Where do you go for a little therapy?


 


Hometown Love: The Lark

Every city and town has a few retail treasures, places where residents know they'll find just what they're looking for (or just what they never knew they always wanted). One of my most favorite places in Denver is The Lark, a wonderful store in the Country Club area at 4th and Downing.

I popped in this week and found a treasure trove of geometric patterns!

What about you? Do you have a favorite hometown shop?
