I'm so white

Some of you may have seen my Manhattan Beach bungalow on apartmenttherapy.com last fall. A bit autumnal. Cozy when there's a chill in the air. An eat warm soups sort of place. lots of color everywhere. Which I love. But now, with summer upon us, the windows open, the screen door banging, little sandy, bare feet in and out, it's time to change the palette up bit. Out with the leather, masculine sofa and Kilim rug (thank god!!!) in with the sisal (overstock .com -greatly discounted) and lovely, modern sofa from room and board . Now look a little closer...see the pillows? cute, right? Target. Kid you not. Target's the shizzle these days. This fabric swatch (not from Target) is a beautiful linen with an embroidered coral detail. I'm going to have a few big pillows made of this. I've also added more mirrored items such as that lamp to the right of the sofa. I was inspired by my Ebay find of the groovy 70s place mats that sit on my IKEA coffee table. Also I like what the reflective qualities do for a small space. Future plans include, new slip covers for the chairs. This time in a 'Les Indiennes' theme--a white linen with a, wood- block type, Indian print in blues. Also, I'll be replacing the window panels. I'm thinking I'll go to IKEA and buy some basic white, duck cloth panels and then embellish them with an edging of burlap. I'll keep you posted on the transformation. So far I'm loving all the white.
