Wishlist Wednesday

Wishlist Wednesday - those caught-my-eye can't-get-it-out-of-my-head items.

I'm kicking things off with this gorgeous Sausalito pendant from Troy Lighting.

I would love to have it in my kitchen, but my own space is just so ordinary (it doesn't even have granite!) that I'm not sure it would go... (I'll show you that space one day, I promise.)

Look how beautiful it is in this show home.

 Sarah Richardson used it in this space without the shade and I love that look too!

The matching fixtures are just as beautiful.  Would any of them be on your wishlist?

Hanging Bed

I could happily spend hours relaxing on a cozy hanging bed, somewhere warm...

All-Time Favourite

I thought a good place to start would be with one of my favourite living rooms - possibly my favourite room across the board!  My design style leans towards traditional, neutral and serene, with a bit of glam and a bit of upscale beach home - sound complicated enough?  

This house was showcased in the June 2009 issue of Style At Home, one of my must-read magazines.  (The full article is here.)

My current top pick for a living room, if I could scrap everything I have and go at it with an unlimited budget, is this one. 

So what jumps out?
 - perfect gray walls (Benjamin Moore Edgecomb Gray)
 - mirrored coffee table and side tables - very glam
 - moody painting above the sofa
 - gorgeous chandelier
 - symmetry of the side tables, and of the darker accent chairs
 - sofa and chairs have smooth, simple lines
 - cream sofa - I love light-colored furniture
 - large rug/carpet makes the room feel cozy even with the more modern furnishings

What do you think?
