Jenna Lyons House Tour

25 October 2008

Jenna Lyons, the Creative Director at J. Crew, has a house that looks like it was lifted out of the pages of their catalog – but I guess that’s no surprise!

Two views of the kitchen:

I can’t get over the yellow striped ceiling and the fireplace typography in the nursery. So chic, but it looks comfy, too.

And of course, a room-sized closet:

How great is that settee? See all of the photos and some sources here. Thanks to Chelsea at {frolic} for the tip!

Inspiration Board #2: Green Apples

23 October 2008

Green apple green adds just the right pop to an otherwise classic black and white palette. Details I’m loving in this board include the centerpieces of apple “topiaries” piled on vintage glass and milk glass cake stands and the bride’s snappy heels. I could see this board translated into either a spring wedding – the green lends itself perfectly to that season, and the apples would be complemented nicely with fresh grass centerpieces – or a fall wedding, if you’re looking for something different than the usual brown, red, and orange scheme.

Mood: fun, fresh, classic
Palette: green apple, black, and white
