lust list: mad men

Another "theme" that we saw at Market was mid-century modern, or as it's fondly known: the Mad Men look. We recently added a tortoise octagon mirror {above} to our bar and while we wouldn't consider our style vintage we love the subtle nod to the 50's. Now that the show is entering a new decade we have even more throw-back styles to choose from, so I've put together a lust list with Don Draper in mind combining things we saw at Market, this you will soon be able to shop on this site, and current retail finds. Enjoy!

market trend: shades of blue

Typically going into market you can predict the big trends of the season. This year I was poised to see florals and emerald green everywhere and I wasn't disappointed. What I was not prepared for was the popularity of the color blue. From tiffany to powder this shade was everywhere. While I can't say that a robins egg sofa is up my alley I fell head over heels for navy. Whether is was a solid velvet sofa or a modified navy and white chevron chair I was in love. 

Velvet was also a huge trend, I love it so much and this post is evidence! 

I admit, I am super sick of basic white+color chevron. These new takes on the pattern, however, are fantastic and have renewed my enthusiasm for the style.

Hurray! It's almost Friday. 

spring has sprung, right?

So, this is what it looked like in my hometown while we were at the furniture market...in April. Gross. For most of the Midwest this is the first week of "real spring" and to celebrate, I want to show off a few fun floral and emerald green vignettes.

I would have fresh flowers in every room in my home if I could.  

I think this was my favorite room at market. I could never actually design my house like this but the combination of emerald with black and white is absolutely stunning. 

Hello Spring! Are you seeing this sunburst mirror trend as well?! 

Remember this post? I embraced the emerald trend on numerous fashion occasions. 

Hope you're all enjoying some vitamin D!
