zooey deschanel is one of my favorite actresses. i just love her unique sense of style and she's a great singer to top it all off!

< design intermix >

console table + mirror

ajara foyer table (cost plus) + harlow mirror (decorati)

sometimes mixing things up works well, like this traditional wood entry table with a more modern mirror. it can add more interest in a space.

< design intermix >

desk + chair

nelson swag leg desk + eames aluminum management chair

(furniture by DWR.)

this nelson swag leg table is one of my favorite furniture pieces. i love the simplicity of it and the way the legs seems to flow so well. and what makes it even more of a special piece is the touch of colors that's added on the hutch of the desk.

the eames aluminum management chair, i'd select the white one, but they didn't have a photo of it. it's a great looking "office" chair. it's not the "typical" office chairs you'd normally see. (although i've been seeing them slightly more than usual).

hollywood glamour in missouri

1_article_658x359

this home was featured in metropolitan home as one of the finalist winners. Anu Suebsawangkul was placed in 4th place for the swankiest place small space.

the 408 sq. ft. studio apartment in Clayton, Missouri has a lot of style for such a small space. i love the monochromatic color that's used throughout the space. by having white as the primary color in the space, makes this studio feel bigger than it really is. not only did she design the space well, but she was also a smart shopper by not breaking the bank. and she's pretty crafty herself since some of the stuff was a DIY project.

this a great hollywood regency style that's chic, elegant and glamorous.
