Gold!

Gold has truly made a comeback. Who would have guessed those out dated gold light fixtures you saw in older homes would be back on the scene in 2013. As Lisa mentioned in this blog post, eyebrows were raised when she put gold light fixtures in her home a few years ago. Check out the photo below of her gorgeous dining room!

Love her dining room? Furniture and light fixtures are from some of the manufacturers we work with. 

Light Fixture: Robert Abbey Lighting

Chairs: Stylus

Dining Table: Stanley Furniture

Mirrored Buffet: Elte

At Grapevine, we get to work with some amazing fixture and furniture manufacturers, Redford House is just one of them and they have some gorgeous gold pieces. Check out these pieces as well as some gold fixtures and accessories we are loving right now. Make a statement with a bold light fixture or piece of furniture, such as a side table. Or there are subtler options, a gold picture frame or gold dipped bowl.

Lisa's Favorite Things for Accessorizing your Home - GIVEAWAY!

Nicole and I have been working on this for awhile, and the time is finally here!  I love many aspects of my job.....  Bookkeeping and invoicing not so much!  But that is why we have Debbie and a CA for a hubby ;)  Back to what I love!  Decorating!  I love the designing of spaces, the flow, the sight lines, the finishes, and fixtures... especially light fixtures!  How I love light fixtures!  Getting carried away again...  But I really love the decorating.  The finishing touches.  The fabrics! Bedding!  Art!  And of course... ACCESSORIES!  So I decided to offer a giveaway of a few of my favorite things for accessorizing your home.  This prize is valued at approximately $300.

I love this print from SS Print Shop.  Such lovely inspirational and fun prints.  There are also great ones to be found at:  Designs by Maria, Kardz Kouture
I put the print in a simple frame from IKEA and paired it with a lovely Voluspa candle and fresh picked flowers from my garden;)

The book is "Dazzling Design" by my favorite designer Amanda Nisbet.  The book is a treasure trove of colourful interiors. Quite an inspiration.  But its nice to just have it on a shelf complimented with a quaint box or vase.

 This vignette is my favorite!  The gold lantern from Target on a marble side table in my home.   I love gold more and more every year.  There were a few eyebrows raised when I put gold light fixtures in my new home a couple years ago.  Now I wish I had gold faucets too!
 A little bowl could be part of any of these arrangements.  Its such a versatile piece.

I love love love a cloche.  You can put anything underneath from a single hydrangea flower (fake) or a little bird statue.  Here I've put a potted succulent.  Another little box with a gold chevron detail and an owl.  I still love owls, but in my home you'll find many little bird statues.

If you know anything about fashion, you'll know that ombre is all the rage.  Ombre is the transition of a colour from light to dark or vice versus.  From Ombre hair (i dream), to ombre shirts, napkins etc.  Here is an ombre throw from Pantone.
