Spring Cleaning :)

We've made it through March! On to better and warmer days surely. As we look around and do some spring cleaning, some rearranging, finding new inspirations for home feels like a fresh way to step into April! We have always loved the rustic shelves from roost, made from beautiful recycled Indian rail-tyes, they're a great way to rearrange and present the pretty things you already own!

Canvas makes this modern stainless steel cutlery set, clean lines and subtle curves, we love the simplicity of this shape to update your table. Set of 5, $49.

Inspriation: Lonny Magazine latest issue

I finally made some time this weekend to devour the March/April Issue of LONNY and what a pleasure it was, full of Spring inspiration, I love the rose dress from Stella McCartney which for sure will translate into home, and my other favorite find was Ines de la Fressange's new book:Parisian Chic,a style guide, I must get a copy! Lonny is the closest we have to Domino Magazine now I just keep hoping for hard copy distribution because there is nothing like the ritual of going through the actual paper version curled up on the couch with a glass of wine!

Happy Monday!
