Out and About: Side Tables

As I am OUT AND ABOUT shopping for clients, I often get inspired by other items.

Today's venture shows off the FABULOUS side tables

I found at my local Ross, Marshall's and Home Goods Stores.

You really can find amazing deals. Designer looks at a fraction of the cost!

This is a great piece that can work so well in a Tuscan or Moroccan design.

I love this modern piece. And as always, you need a little black in every room!

A little rustic and storage all in one great piece!

Yes, a side table can be something as unique as this wicker stool.
Add a tray for drinks and your favorite design magazine.

Another piece that is rustic.
How about using this one in a bathroom?

Do you prefer HIGH GLAM?
This one is for you. It would make a great bedside table. 

Small but such a statement piece.

Nesting tables that are rustic and strong.
These went home with me for a client!

LOVE this vintage inspired table with storage.

Parisian Design: Room Inspirations

Heading to Paris for our next stop while in France during our Global Design Series!

Many Parisian rooms feature lots of details, accessories and high glamour. 

I have selected a few rooms that have the style but that are a bit paired down.

I like to design my clients homes to "LIVE" in, not just to "look pretty".

I think these rooms are a perfect example of just that concept. 

Tell me your favorite room.

French Country may be inspired by antiques but many stores and online shops too, can offer this look for less! So choose where to spend your money. Sometimes, you might spend a little more if you are hunting in vintage shops but if you love it, it is worth it. Then fill up the rest of your space with great finds!

Creativity is sometimes the best resource. 

HAPPY DESIGNING!
