The Glam Lamb

Where are the weeks going!?!  I can’t believe it’s November.  Halloween already ended!

Well – with that…. here are my favorite Pins from Pinterest in window treatments!

I am thinking about puting grosgrain ribbon on the roman shades in my living room.  Just finding the right color is the task at hand.  Window treatments in general are tricky.  Here is some great inspiration!

(PS – If you need a Pinterest invite – keep me posted and I can hook you up!)

I’ve been really wanting a tassel charmed necklace — and I finally found a vintage one!  I absolute love it! And (shocker) I also found it at the Long Beach Flea Market.

Several years ago my best friend gave me a cut-out silhouette picture of my dog, Lincoln.  It’s one of my favorite things I own.  Anyway… I broke the frame it came in and FINALLY found a fabulous frame for it!

So – the frame below is similar to what I found (for some reason I can’t find the pic I took of it when I got it at the Long Beach Flea Market) It cost $5. Yep…  That’s it.  And I had a piece of glass cut for $5.  So inexpensive.  I can’t tell you enough…. flea markets and antique fairs have the BEST frames – and so cheap!!!

Here’s the finished product and I LOVE it!!  Doesn’t Mr. Lincoln look good?

And for the real deal:

Well it sure has been a week and I am thrilled it’s the weekend!  Being sick and stuck in bed for half the week was just terrible.  I still plan on taking it easy though.

So…. on that note, here are my favorite Pinterest Pins of the week.  Keep me posted if you need an invite (email me or leave a comment below with your email address).

Have an awesome weekend!

This F. Schumacher fabric is BANANAS! I kind of want to cover my new ottomans (pics to come of those later) in this. We shall see....

This hallway is in a home in Silverlake (Los Angeles) and designed by Michelle Workman. Love the color combination, the art, the walls... So pretty.

Some serious glammed out dining over at Ralph Lauren Home.

This could be ther perfect Fall look for LA people. Since it's the end of October and still in the 70's. (God, I love living here!)

A pair of these nght stands would fit my bedroom perfectly. Now where to find them is the next question. (Image via Design Manifest).

This photo fascinated me. Can you imagine? What if all light posts had stunning, crystal chandeliers hanging from them?! That would be dope. Image via here.

I have no clue who the designer of this... but that back detailing is just gorgeous.

I love this vintage, Cartier watch. Pretty fantastic if you ask me.

I really want these lamps for my bedroom. Unfortunately they are way out of the budget. via 1st dibs

I love this gift wrapping idea for a wine bottle.

This post is a little late…. but a few months ago, one of my blogging buddies and Interior Designer, Irene from Design Stiles was working on an AMAZING charity project for the Good Shepherd Center for Homeless Women & Children in Los Angeles.  Basically – a bunch of fantastic interior designers got together to give the bedrooms of the facility more life, and make it a more inviting place for these women to call home.

Here is what Irene originally had to work with (Not too good):

And this too:

BUT — Have no fear!  Check out what Irene did with this space relying on a tight budget and donated items.

Isn’t the room beautiful!?  On a design front – it’s just amazing.  The colors, the different textures, and the mixing of modern and new is brilliant.  (I donated the gold lamp, and I’m thrilled wth how great it looks in the space!)

The desk area pretty fab too – and I especially love that sweetheart wicker chair.

And now for the revamped vanity area…

The wallpaper… light flixure… door knobs… mirror… LOVE!

Irene – Congratulations to you on making such a stunning room for someone who really will appreciate every bit of it.  There isn’t a detail missed – it’s pretty amazing!

I’m semi-bed-ridden.

I am one miserable and grumpy little camper.  (In a nut shell – I’ve got fibromyalgia, but I’m lucky — I really only have episodes of pains.  It’s been about 5 months since I’ve had any issues with it – but with the weather changing, stress, work, life….. It decided to pay me a visit).

So – what am I doing all day in bed?  Why of course… surfing the web.  And look what I just bought on Etsy:

Sparrow Nest Script is the cutest Etsy shop.  I am obsessed with the font and I can’t wait for my stationary to arrive.  There are so many great card options.  At least for feeling like total crap – I have the happiest little present for me on the way!

Last weekend was the Long Beach Flea Market – and of course – there were some beautiful pieces!  The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and the perfect day to be outside.  Here are some of the thigs that caught my eye.

A clean lined mid-century desk. Really great condition. I wouldn't even consider painting it.

Looking to do a gallery wall? A flea market is your best (and most budget friendly) option to finding a bunch of beautiful, vintage pieces of art to mix together.

Isn't this faucet awesome? I remember seeing a similar fixture in one of Kelly Wearstler's books.

A collection of beautiful purple glass bottles. I think these would be so pretty down the center of a dining table with rose buds in them as a low centerpiece for a dinner party.

Beautiful table lamps.

A great pair of slipper chairs. These would look fantastic recovered.

I always see gorgeous Suzanis at this flea market.

This dealer was pretty neat. They had beautiful pages from books all in different categories. There were butterflies, botanical images, fruits..... They really would be great lined up in a series.

Large glass candy jars. I especially like the jar on the right.

Chandeliers can get expensive both of these larger crystal chandeliers were priced at $150 each, which is a really good deal for the pink one (on the right).

Pillows… There are endless possibilities of what you can do with pillows in your living room.  Believe me… I’ve tested more than you can imagine.  I do love a great mix of different prints, textures, and sizes.  It really gives off that bohemian chic feel.

Gorgeous pictures at Black and Sparrow (If only this store wasn't so far away!!)

I am in LOVE with this room. I can't get over it!! The deep colored walls, the rug, paired with the curtains, and the mixed up pillows... Amazing. Image via Dwellers Without Decorators

This is still a work in progress, but this is my living room thus far. The far back chartreuse pillows are from Ikea, The zig-zags are Trina Turk for Schumacher, and the purple shaggies are Crate & Barrel.

I came across an awesome Etsy shop, Ikat & Batik with fantastic mixes of pillows – and better yet, you can buy sets of mixes, so all of the deciding of what print to mix with what is done for you.   There are a lot of color options – so you should definitely check them out.

Here is a great set of 9 different printed pillow in the turquoise color family. $180 for the full set. (great price!!)

And another grouping of yellows and grays. Pretty. Also, 9 pillows for $180.

I love jewelry.  What girl doesn’t? AND – I especially love personalized jewelry.  So, when I came across Lala Design Studio on Etsy - I had to share some of my faves!

The GF initial pendant - 14k gold. I love these cursive lower cased letters. So pretty and delicate.

Calligraphy Necklace - 14 k gold. Love!

Two Lovers - 14k gold. Ok, now this is just too sweet for words!
