Light up My Life

Every project I've worked on since I was in school has always had three important features:
1.Clean lines
2. Amazing artwork
3. Lighting
After working on several projects I really began to notice the importance of #3 on the list : Lighting. Not only is it a functional  and fundamental element but if you use the right fixture it can completely transform your space.
Here are few few vintage and new fixtures that are a cut above the rest!

Chandeliers and Pendants

 Sconces

Table Lamps

Decades of Style

Thanks to my new favorite online vintage store Capmbell's Loft, I found these amazing interior images from the 60's and 70's. They're all so transcendent and contemporary that personally I can't believe that they aren't present day images, but that's just me!

Inspire me

I've been insanely in inspired by the Philadelphia Collection events this week. Between the fashion shows and the people watching during the parties I realized how drastically fashion effects interior design and vis-versa. There are so many similarities in color, patterns and textures that it really is hard to tell what came; first the chicken or the egg. In saying that, I mean who inspired what: Has the pantone color of the year "Honey Suckle" inspired all of the jewel tone frocks I've seen so much of walking the runways and flocking into parties? Or did those bright hues strike cord with the powers that be in the interior design world?
So, I'll now turn the question over to you: Do you  think the fashion world has a huge impact on the interior design world?

Either way, whatever you decide remember to have fun with your wardrobe choices and spaces!
