phone tales

I have little room left in my brain to talk about anything but project LFP

It's been all consuming and I mean that in the best way possible.

however my phone has tales of a different story..apparently x-mas happened 

Here is what my phone brain saw this week..


master bedroom hand embroidered chinoiserie panels.....um Yep

fancy drapery valances..yep


the now discontinued and never to be seen again (at least on this ground) Clarence House Ocelot



the now discontinued and never to be sold from the bolt again Katana in this colorway by Kelly Weartsler

cute little chairs getting re-upholstered.

LFP is scoring MAJORLY ...no?

Then I strung some pom pom garland


 and the duck put these happy Bastards up on the lawn


Penny was elated about all of it


Till next week lovers.

An Artist You Should Know - Laura Dro

I can't believe it took me so long to share it, but awhile back I won a beautiful print from artist Laura Dro, which I now have hanging beside my bed. I love the navy blue with the pinks and it looks perfect in my space!
Today (November 30) until December 2nd there is a great mixed artisan sale going on at Joss & Main and Laura is one of the artists being featured! I'd love it if you would check it out and show her some support! Here are a few of her amazing abstract canvases that are up for grabs:




Each piece is printed on a 16x20 gallery stretched canvas.
Wouldn't they make the perfect gift? I love how bright they are.

Quantities are limited, but you can always purchase some of her work directly from her site by clicking below!:
 Happy weekend loves!

Favourite Furniture Fridays: Sailing the Sea of Style

Hi! Sloane from Sailing the Sea of Stylehere. I am so excited to be here on Tiffany’s blog. Her blog is my go-to interior design blog and her DIY’s are amazing!  Today, I will be sharing my favorite piece of furniture in my room.

My favorite piece is a Moroccan Pouf that I found on One KingsLane. The pale pink and gold detailing adds a fun and chic touch to my room.
I love to stack magazines, books, and little things on it. It’s also is great for extra seating, in case you are in need. Currently it sits next to a chaise lounge, but I like to move it around. Sometimes, in front of my bed, sometimes by my desk…
 Poufs come in so many different colors, and are very fun to have! Oh and by the way, they are extremely fun to sit on :)  Thank you for having me Tiffany!

You all know my love for Moroccan poufs! Such a nice touch to any room. Thanks for sharing Sloane!

Updates

AID has been working on project "LFP" over here for the past few months and it is getting near the big install day!

This is the MOST exciting part of any project becuause you finally get to see what all of your hard work and sleepless nights will finally amount to.


 Over the next 2 weeks I will try and chronicle the happenings in each room bit by bit. Its a big house and we are doing the whole damn thang ....so you'll have plenty of eye candy

Couches, drapes, rugs, pillows, stunning "knock your socks off" artwork!!!

You will just die at the stuff these clients already had!

Anyways, here is what happened yesterday. We smashed some walls, built some banquette seating and installed some lights.
