{home inspiration: manhattan loft}

. . . have been in love with ochre's stunning arctic pear chandelier for as long as can remember, but had never imagined just how lovely it could look intermingled with washed floorboards, an antique mirror and a periwinkle tufted chesterfield . . .

{décor inspiration: tufted velvet & drops of crystal}

. . . have always held a special fondness for velvet, and especially tufted velvet, {and anything tufted, really}, and as the bright late-autumn days drift slowly into long winter nights, there is a longing for decadently warm and elegantly luxurious textures -- golden velvet against driftwood and snow-white faux fur beautifully intermingled with crystal droplets falling from silver candelabras and glittering as shooting stars on a crisp november night . . .
