The Great Gatsby Inspiration and Movie Trailers

The Great Gatsby Inspiration and Movie Trailers

Hello everyone, hope you are having an amazing day.  Is anyone just as excited as I am for the new The Great Gatsby movie to premiere on May 10th?  I sincerely cannot wait till I see this movie.  The trailer looks simply enticing with the beautiful set design, costumes, music and a wonderful cast… a recipe for an epic movie.  The movie is the adaptation of a 1925 novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton and Isla Fisher located in the time of the roaring 1920′s and the age of Art Deco… which has had a nice revival… I’m loving all the gold, brass, the glitter sprinkled in the era of art deco.

Check out this trailer, it’s certainly a visual masterpiece.  There are many more trailers here if you wish to peruse and get lost in the movie magic of it all (I did).

I’ve put together a comprehensive list of Art Deco inspired home decor pieces. All with all the likes of gold, brass, silver and the feel of art deco.

{Online Magazine} Bungalow

{Online Magazine} Bungalow

First, I simply love the name “Bungalow” for a magazine, very decor appropriate and sexy.  Thanks to the lovely blog hello,splendor, upon reading their blog today I discovered a post which their line PulpHome was featured in the new online shelter magazine called “Bungalow“.  I’m always looking for new inspiration and this magazine is simply a visual delight.

Bungalow Magazine is a magazine published quarterly focused on the urban lifestyle of Texas.

Bungalow actively engages the urban lifestyle and demographic with a love for design and unique style. Bungalow exposes and shares innovative, modern, and eclectic designs of Texans to a Texas audience. Whether starting out in your first apartment, buying a home or simply need encouragement, and design inspiration, please consider being, a part of the best Texas has to offer. We hope Bungalow is a resource for you.

Their current issue just launched on April 13th.  The cover is simple and quiet yet has a statement of all its own.

I'm in Love with the Gold Starburst Statue

I’m in Love with the Gold Starburst Statue

Ever since I saw this online and then in the background of a TV show, I’ve been just dying to get my hands on this lovely piece of decor.  One of my favorites stops No Four Eleven carries this beauty.  I can see this item on a white side table, two on each end, with books stacked in the middle, sprinkled with other favorite items in between (small in scale)… simply gorgeous don’t you think!  The Gold Starburst Statue is a lot bigger than I thought it would than what it appears in the photo, it stands at 22″ in height.  I’m all over anything gold and bold at the moment and this is just a wonderful addition to anyone’s decor to add the glam factor.

Crate & Barrel Vancouver Now Open!

Crate & Barrel Vancouver Now Open!

I’ve literally been counting down the days till the new Crate & Barrel opens in Vancouver located in Oakridge mall.  I went to visit the store the day the opened (March 21/2013) and it was so exciting, the store was packed full of people.  I had to circle the store twice just to get a good look at everything.  There were too many people to really get a good feel of the store but since I live close by, I’ll be stopping by for a full tour this week.  I want to look at every section, piece of furniture and all their decor, dining and other home products more closely.  I’m so impressed by their displays, they are masters at creating beautiful vignettes.  All their goods and products are simply beautiful.  Here are some photos I took while walking around, I can’t wait to go back!
