In the DC area next Wednesday? Then you must come to this chic, fun event (and say hi to me and Manvi from Mochatini!)

Manvi of the FABULOUS Mochatini blog is putting on a great event. Manvi's passion for tablescape decor has inspired her to share all her know-how by way of an awesome party and tabletop styling evening.

The tablescape design camp and champagne party will be held at the Mitchell Gold Bob Willams showroom in DC on June 29 (6 - 8: 30pm). Registration is $30.

I would love to see some of you there - so if you can make it be sure to find me and say hi!

It's easy to register - just click Event Registration

There will also be lovely goodies from Hello Cupcake! and MacaronCafe.com (from NYC and available online) to sweeten your camp experience. A portion of proceeds will go towards providing meals to the homeless via Miriam’s Kitchen.
I hope to see you there!

A variety of delectable dining rooms

It's been awhile since I've posted some dining rooms. I've picked a handful of beautiful spaces in all different decorating styles, so hopefully atleast one strikes your fancy...

Love the table and mix n' match chairs in this Scandinavian beauty...

The salon-style wall and dark paint job makes this vintage-industrial dining room feel luxe.

I'm a big modern retro fan, but I don't know if I could go this all-out modern retro...

Even though this is an open floor plan layout, the dining room is still visually divided from the living room.

Which do you like best?

Since I featured West Elm's fab new look yesterday, I thought it'd be a good time to showcase West Elm creative director's home.




Unfortunately those are all I have!
What do you think of her style as compared to West Elm's new style, which I featured yesterday.

Below are some random pretty images, also from Country Living.

What do you think of the wallpaper? Too much?



A sweet little bedside montage. Some great must haves for a guest's bedside table.

A familiar home decorating favorite gets an AMAZING makeover

Um...did I miss this or is this a new look for West Elm for the New Year? The styling in the Jan. 2011 No. 1 issue is so fresh and different. love?....YES. I really like the indie style, mid-century modern nod, rustic and eclectic touch they've introduced. So up my alley. What do you think?

I adore every chair in this room!





Isn't this the cutest cork and ceramic coffee set?

Great way to display collectibles


This is a nice solution for an open kitchen layout, it'd be great for entertaining because guests could sit on the couch and the host can still keep an eye on things in the kitchen.






ooh...the blue, the stools, the table, the book ledge!












Nice way to display anything to spur creativity




I know you'd think you'd never hear these words from me...but I like that dark navy wall!












what a fab idea!
