One Kings Lane Tastemaker Tag Sale

I’m so excited for my second Tastemaker Tag Sale on One Kings Lane starting this Friday morning at 8am PST.  Over the past few months I’ve been assembling a collection of things I have “scouted” over the years from my travels. Vintage glass wear, one of a kind art, and an eclectic mix of furniture and textiles. Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the sale that will be available this Friday.

Love these vintage drinking glasses…perfect turquoise and bohemian gold.

Great accent pillows for adding a pop to your favorite sofa or room. A modern take on a floral.

Mid-century perfection. I love the lines on this occasional table.

Woven throws, Indian canopies, Moroccan rugs and more… Shop more great textiles on Friday.

There will be lots of accent pieces, lighting and other great eclectic finds. Finding the perfect treasure will be easy.

Sale Starts Friday, March 9th at 8am PST at One Kings Lane.

Just for Her…

Today while I was in my office a package arrived from Random House and I immediately was curious. I was so excited to find my friend and author Jacqueline deMontravel’s new book “hers” design with a feminine touch. I love the cover shown here and found pages full of inspiration inside. What a great subject for a book… lots of feminine touches to incorporate  into your own home.

One of my favorite ideas is to mix fashion and home… here vintage meets glam. To my surprise my own home was featured…here with one of my bedrooms. I forgot about this shot and still love the color palette. Lots of feminine cremes, blues accented with silver.

I love a room with a portrait especially of a woman. I am often left wondering who she might be and why she was having her portrait done. I love the way a portrait adds personality to a room. This painting is  perfect inspiration for the color palette of this living room. Soft feminine gray mixes with soft black and golds. Understated and elegant.

Sometime it is the simple touches that remind us of what is feminine and soft. Flowers always make a space feel pretty.

Another way to add a feminine touch to the main entrance is with “nudes”. Nothing speaks more than portraits and nudes. Subtle nudes work best and keep the “art” of a nude painting or drawing in focus.

Enjoy finding  more feminine details, rooms and ideas on how to bring out the feminine side of your home… Leave a comment on this post to be chosen to receive a complimentary signed copy of “hers”. Winner will be chosen March 15th.

At Las Vegas Market

Last week I spent time at the World Market in Las Vegas. I found tons of new products for our retail showroom “The Workroom”.

Bohemian Ikats, Classic Chevrons and Greek Keys all were the “trend” for furniture and textile markets.

Dress from Zuhair Murad Couture, from The Prettier Version.

I am loving all the color that is showing up for home decor. Rugs in over dyed bright hues…

Classic Stripes in colors that pop…

Tiffany blue lacquer…fun for the office.

Still in the line up: Washed out linens, lots of hides, game with metallic accents, mother of pearl accessories.

Bohemian is still front and center.

Dress by Diane Von Furstenburg, from Allure.

Modern classics in traditional and some not so traditional colorways. I am always excited to see the trends and inspiration from the runway make its way into home decor.

Trends coming together… from La Dolche Vita.

Keep checking back for updates about our retail space and design studio the Workroom, at 1909 Centinela Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90404..opening to the public this spring…

Amy Gibson & Craftsy Block of the Month

Happy New Year! One of our favorite things at Annette Tatum is to see the creative ways our fabrics are used. So, we were thrilled to see our new collection of Boho Fabrics featured in the Block of the Month quilting project on Craftsy! This quilting how-to video series is being lead by the very talented Amy Gibson, of the adorable crafting blog, Stichery Dickory Dock. The tutorials are just getting started, so if you have a desire to learn how to quilt, this is an amazing opportunity.

This is a year long monthly video series, and each month Amy will teach 2 new blocks & 1 new skill.  By the end of the year, you will have 20 finished blocks, and will learn to add sashing and borders, baste, quilt, and bind, resulting in a lovely quilt, all in our new Boho Fabrics. We love the eclectic look of quilts, especially on a daybed with lots of pillows. We are offering one of Amy’s followers a chance to win a one-of-a-kind neckroll pillow to go with their finished quilt.

Head over to Amy’s blog Sitchery Dickory Dock now to find out how to enter. The contests ends Jan. 5th, so don’t miss your chance!

We can’t wait to follow along throughout the year to see the progress on the quilt. Thanks again Amy!

DIY Kids Rooms

There are always magical elements in a child’s room that are homemade or one of a kind. To me, the “do it yourself” philosophy of room decor is what gives a room personality. There is nothing better than a gallery made up of your child’s artwork or favorite photographs. Whatever it is that makes you smile or reminds your child of a special accomplishment or event…I say post it. Put it up on the wall for all to see. If you ever wonder what makes a room unique, the answer is found in those who live there.

Framing your child’s art can send a message to all that what your child creates is beautiful and special. It is always nice when the work speaks for itself as an expression of the individual.

Little expressions here and there like a handmade daisy chain add whimsy to the room. For the more ambitious, creating one-of-a-kind, magical canopies can be done easily. Or you can embellish a store bought one with ribbons and other elements to create a lovely statement.

Banners of self expression, added with a little bit of this and that, are what makes a room yours. The pairing of the not so perfect is perfect.

Keep adding to your child’s room as they grow. You are never too young or too old to practice the art of self expression—especially in your own room.
