Kara’s List - Third Week of October 2019

Happy Wednesday!

My weekly lists will consist of my favorite items, whether it be clothing and shoes or furniture and tabletop. I source interior furniture, fixtures, fabric etc. for my clients but the majority of what I source for projects is from trade only vendors (not retail stores). BUT that’s why I started this blog!

Having this weekly list allows me to share with you my favorite retail items that you can easily click & shop!

ONE - I have always been a fan of acrylic book stands! Most of the living rooms that I design are centered around an oversized coffee table or ottoman. Stacking books on a coffee table is a go to for me but this book stand adds height and dimension to your table scape. I am sourcing this stand for a project in the works so stay tuned!

TWO - When selecting fabrics for a room, I tend to pick neutrals for the big upholstery items like sofas and chairs. I add fun patterns and textures with throw pillows and blankets. Sometimes I will bring in pops of color with throw pillows, but more times than not, I stick with a natural based pillow that has a chunky woven design. This pillow is a subtle way to add texture to your sofa!

THREE - I’ve been rocking headbands since grammar school…way before Blair Waldorf was on the scene! I bought this headband this past weekend and am loving all the colors it comes in.

FOUR - A teapot is a great accessory for the kitchen. You can keep it on your stove top or display it on open shelves. You can’t go wrong with this white & wood combination!

FIVE - I have an obsession with teddy coats! This teddy liner is the ideal weight so you don’t have to worry about constantly taking it on and off. It comes in oatmeal, navy and brown and I am a fan of all three color options!

SIX - This lettuce ware collection has been a favorite of mine for years! The collection comes in white and green but the white is a perfect base to mix with other dishes that you have. The texture on this vase is gorgeous!

SEVEN - Art is extremely personal and very tricky to select for projects. Some of my clients have a collection of art that they would like to integrate into each space, whereas other clients look to me for ideas and sources. This papier-mâché wall decor is a beautiful, affordable and multidimensional piece that would look great standing alone or in a gallery wall setting.

EIGHT - I bought this blanket set for Sterling. The puckering gauze material is gorgeous! When the set first arrived, the fabric seemed rough but once I washed the blankets, they were so soft . The scalloped, lace trim comes in eight color ways that are the perfect shades of muted colors. Stay tuned for Sterling’s nursery reveal to see this blanket set featured!
