restoration HARDWARE

The other day I received the 615 page, FALL 2011 Source Book from Restoration Hardware in the mail. I can describe it in two words . . . vintage bliss. 
I want to curl up with a good book and a glass of something sweet in every room. I'm especially in love with their reproduction pieces ranging from a 19th Century French Baroque Chandelier to World War II Celestial Binoculars. Even their 20th Century Factory Shade Lamps complete with filament bulbs in all shapes, sizes and degrees of loops are fantastic. The best part? A new store, I mean Gallery, the first of its kind, has just opened in Los Angeles.
See you there.

    I'd never heard of Restoration Hardware but I definitely see what you mean about wanting to curl up in every room!

    I got the same catalog. It's huge! Before I got my couch, we visited the store at South Coast to look at the other couches. Great stuff!

Palm Springs Iconic Home Tour

As some of you may know, this week is Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California and we had the unique opportunity of touring the newly named historic site, the Menrad House, designed by William Krisel. It was the perfect balance of casual flow and minimalist simplicity. All I can say is I wanted to move in right then and there. Loving this retro design and those clerestory windows allowing for all of that natural light without sacrificing ones privacy. That artwork is fantastic and the bedding in that master bedroom...  love . This patio cover is to die for. A genius way to provide a bit of shade without feeling closed in. The design is so simple but the overall effect is absolutely stunning. Apparently, these homes sold so fast that a brochure was never even produced to promote them. I snapped a few shots of the neighboring houses and will share them soon. Next up, a tour of vintage trailers and caravans on Saturday. Can't wait to get inspired for wh...

Chai Tea Coffee

I've been having a love affair with my french press lately. There's just something kinda awesome about pouring in the water and watching the tea or coffee swirl around and brew. And don't even get me started on how much I love pressing down the grounds or leaves {yeah… I know that's pretty weird}. The other day I was craving coffee but realized I had run out of milk (which is a must if I'm having coffee). Dilemma? Nope! I thought, why not just brew my favorite tea with a bit of coffee too! I've had a " dirty chai " before and they're not half bad.  OMG this concoction was soooooo good! Just mix 1 heaping scoop of  White Ayurvedic Chai with  1 scoop of your favorite coffee. Add water and strain (or get that everlasting enjoyment out of pressing that french press like I do!). Add sugar to taste and enjoy!  Give it a try! xo Sécia F O L L O W    U S   O N    I N S T A G R A M   ::    @seciasophia ...
