I work in an upscale furniture store for the remaining of the summer. It was my internship in college and then formed into a part-time job. Being in this type of atmosphere, with my design degree, I get to witness trends for the home coming in and out. I get to see what people want or don't want in their home, or second home....or...third home. You get the point. It's a dream of mind to be able to fill people's houses with these kinds of items, so here I have put together a couple items, textures, and a setting that screams summer to me.
As you probably could tell I'm kind of drawn to pink. BUT ONLY FOR THE SUMMER I SWEAR! I'm one of those girls that's never played a sport, but I also never had a pink room. A good mix I like to think ;).
Far left picture is a fabric on some carved oval-back French chairs we have in the store. Personally, I think not only does it look good on chairs, but it could be a bag, pillow, shirt, etc. Below is a full size picture of it..
The top right picture is a star burst mirror. It's gold and welded together, and the best part about it is the mirror in the center that has gives a "fish-eye" effect. If I had endless amounts of money I would buy thousands of these and do a whole wall series cascading down to my indoor waterfall feature that of course overlooks the Malibu coast, wind blowing, and candles flickering while my hot mister grabs me a cold one. Okay. Enough. But you get my point, these mirrors are magical and when I think magical I think summer. Below is a close up:
Finally, the bottom right picture is a setting I put together in hopes of making the front of the store look more fresh while also bringing in pops of color. Greens and pinks are my absolute favorite color combination. I know, I know, I sound like a teenage girl, but c'mon I know you got those colors on your full set of braces in ninth grade too, don't even play!
Happy summer!
