Crushing On

My current love of ticking is most definitely influenced by the ticking master himself, Michael Penney. With a quick stroll through Penney & Co. you will see an amazing black and white ticking occasional chair; red ticking napkins and placemats; and gorgeous, subtle ticking curtain panels. There is a reason he, and now me, love this simple pattern--It is handsome and timeless, and acts as the perfect compliment to so many other fabrics.

Brass is back! Brass fixtures and hardware are coming up everywhere in kitchens and bathrooms--both in shiny new, and patina vintage finishes.

Stuffy and old fashioned no more. Brass adds a level of unique sophistication.

Crushing On

Black has, and will continue to be, used as a classic and timeless shade in home decor. However, I love seeing it being used more unexpectedly. One of my all-time favourite ways to use black, is on interior trim.

Black trim can highlight an already beautiful window pane, can add dimension to french doors or add a statement to an otherwise standard element in the room. This simple paint technique is powerful.

Just because

So it's not Oscar worthy. Maybe even a little cheesy. I often find I like a movie just because it looks pretty, which is reason enough for me! My love for the visually appealing, led me to learn more about Nancy Meyers. Meyers is known for her beautiful movie sets--think Something's Gotta Give, It's Complicated, the Parent Trap and my personal favourite, The Holiday (how dreamy was that English cottage?).

The warmth created by Meyers is tangible when watching her films. No detail is left untouched.

I recently read that Meyers is coming out with another movie, The Intern. She has been teasing photos of the set, and I must admit, I have once again been captivated!

What are your favourite, just because they are beautiful, movies?
