{beautiful details: marble & gold}

. . . carerra marble and graceful archways, floods of light and artful chandeliers, elegantly panelled walls and bits of gold -- sometimes all that's needed are a few beautiful details . . .

{eco chic: decanterlights}

. . . p's mother has a beautiful cut crystal decanter collection displayed in their formal living room and have always loved the way they glimmer and add such elegance, and so was much delighted to discover another use for them -- decanterlights, by british designer lee broom, are pendant light fixtures created from vintage crystal decanters sourced from antique markets and vintage shops and available in a natural clear crystal or polished gold -- aren't they lovely?

{p.s.} more stylish eco chic inspiration:

cushions | cork | wine bottle centrepieces

{inspiration: task lamps & dramatic wallpaper}

. . . here, it's elegant neutrals and everywhere marble, but seem to return, again and again, to the sophisticated combination of dramatic wallpaper and task lamps in this powder room -- quite surprising, really, as often drawn to light and bright walls and delicately pretty sconces -- and yet . . .

{p.s.} many, many thanks for: this lovely post
