Simple Cakes and Greenery

A lot of money can be spent on cake design and adornments, however, we always find that we are most drawn to simple white cakes and delicate greenery which feels fresh and romantic. Perfect for white fondant, naked or whipped frosting cakes, arrange meandering vines for a whimsical touch or adorn with palms or richer greens for a more modern look.

Raw Edges

Every material should matter in a space, and the application of each material should serve a purpose whether that be bringing in color, reflection, contrast or texture. We are used to seeing perfectly smooth honed or polished surfaces but came across images of raw countertops and are loving the way this feels both rustic and edgy (no pun intended!) Although likely not best for high traffic areas or where small children can hurt or scratch themselves along the rough surface, introduce this treatment to get a dramatic sense of dimension and a definite wow factor.

Round Mirrors

Mirrors do a lot more than just provide a reflective surface, they can expand a room, reflect light and add an elegant decorative element. Lately we are loving the look of round mirrors that nod to mid-century modern design and feel chic and unexpected. To break up more angular lines on walls consider softening the space with a round self mounted or hanging mirror.

Designer Spotlight: Eneida Tavares

How stunning are these one-of-a-kind vases by Eneida Tavares? Fusing two handmade techniques, the pieces are made from pine needles from the forests of Caldas da Rainha in Portugal and then woven using an Angolan weaving technique. Woven directly onto ceramic forms, Tavares blends the two materials and techniques seamlessly.

Wedding Welcome Signs

We are currently in the process of brainstorming a wedding welcome sign that gets the job done but still feels elegant and classic. We love the ways in which previous events have used mirrors, wood and glass to write a special note greeting guests. Use a basic easel to display your sign, lean the board up against a tree or rock or attach legs for a freestanding display.

 One Pattern Bedrooms

Selecting one bold print for a bedroom is a classic design tool for creating a space that feels both traditional and fresh. Perfect for guest rooms, recreate this look by selecting a textile and using it in multiple applications. The key is to strike a perfect balance. Do this by selecting two to three elements within a space such as the walls, headboard, linens, canopy or drapes and balancing with solids in addition to alternate textures to bring a handsome quality to the space.

Louis Ghost Chairs

Louis ghost chairs are especially perfect for small spaces or to minimize view obstructions for a wedding or event. We love their sleek modern profiles that feel fresh and unexpected and blend seamlessly into decor. While these chairs look great for the more modern and simple affair, they work equally well for a romantic or bohemian display bringing in an eclectic element. Toss cozy sheepskins or attach trimmings to the backs to dress up these minimalistic chairs and add a little fun flair!
