Hollywood Regency Style

I love to browse vintage decor on Etsy and the more I have done that the more I noticed the description "Hollywood Regency" popping up next to all things amazing. If you love color, faux bamboo, tufted upholstery, high-gloss lacquer, brass and feminine chinoiserie accents, you will enjoy perusing all the shopping options for this style on places like Etsy and eBay. The prices range from thrifty to high-end investment pieces. Although Hollywood Regency style is a throwback to the opulence and glamour of the 1930s, it mixes very well with contemporary design.

If you love this style go to eBay or Etsy and search "faux bamboo" "Chippendale" "Hollywood regency"  "Chinoiserie" - I have already lost hours browsing :) 

I only wish something like this was in my budget - is it in yours? 

Available on Etsy - vintage brass table $845 via

My picks for accessorizing this look with pillows from Whitlock & Co:

Crazy for Lucite

There is something very glam and luxe about Lucite furniture. Lucite furniture started being produced in the 1930s so you can find vintage styles as well as contemporary and modern. I am especially smitten with Lucite and brass combinations. Appropriately nicknamed ghost or phantom furniture - you can see how this clear furniture is an incredible piece for home decor. In fact I have yet to find a photo of a Lucite piece sitting haggard and abused in a shabby room. I am convinced only cool in-the-know people have these pieces :)

Designer Crush: Black and Spiro Interior Design

Spring time is when I most appreciate vibrant color. The Aussie designers at Black and Spiro do not shy away from bright colors and patterns. Their rooms are happy, fun and feminine. Even the more subdued rooms still offer lots of patterns and mixes of textures. Their spaces are unpretentious and welcoming - all the furniture looks soft and cozy and the shelves and walls are decorated with unique collections. I love that all the rooms look personal and lived in.

Get the Look! 

Clockwise: chair, throw, pillow, pillow, lamp, pillow, table

Spring Florals

I am not going to lie, on Saturday I shed a few crocodile tears when I awoke to yet another freezing, snow-whipping blizzard. It was a very diva woe is me moment. So I proceeded to re-arrange my entire house and redecorate which always makes me feel like I am moving forward. I also brought my floral pillows back into rotation. I have a love hate relationship with floral prints because they can be very "old lady". But they can also be cheerful and light, and after all this snow I was looking for some cheer!  Great ways to keep it contemporary are to use large scale prints, mix with geometric prints or stripes, or keep the pallet simple.
