No Place like Home – Englewood New Jersey Residence
The biggest challenge most interior designers face when decorating is making a home feel like a home. That “homey” look may not always be so easy to achieve especially with the modern cold color palettes and furniture on the market today. Sometimes sticking to your roots is all it takes to bring back that old “spark” you’re looking to bring home. When I came across this New Jersey residence in Englewood I thought it had it all – a mix of contemporary, traditional, retro, and vintage décor all in one. You enter the home feeling like you came home – no stiff furniture, just move in, relax, and enjoy!

Day Trip to London: Shopping at LoveDay Antiques
My Europe vacation never seems to end! Last week I decided to take a day trip to London and do the one thing I love – antique hunting! I came across an amazing shop in London called LoveDay that showcases modern art and antique furniture dating from the 18th-21st century. You can find just about any high-end antiques for your home ranging from leather chairs, sculptures, and lots of modern art. Their price range is pretty reasonable considering the great condition their pieces are in and the amazing “wow” factor they bring to a space.
Take a look at some of my favorite finds below:
These rare French floor lamps were by far my favorite piece at LoveDay. They both have their original shades and decorative gilt work with swan shaped features. I could really see these two used in a living room on either end of a grand fireplace or on two nightstands in a bedroom.
The cream Chinoserie painted on this Bureau Bookcase was stunning. I can’t get over how gorgeous the gilt ball and claw feet are, a definite must!
I have always wanted one of these clocks in my home! Chinoserie lacquer with Georgian oak makes this beauty even more unique. Having something like this from 1755 really makes it a fascinating piece of furniture.
A William IV mahogany leather chair.
Every home needs one of these side tables in their lobby with a mirror placed right above. This one is made out of marble with brass feet.
I was actually surprised these Edwardian Chesterfield chairs were from 1788! The deep buttons, swept oak legs, and brass castors are definitely coming back in style! Not only are they stylish, they are extremely comfortable and work well in many different room settings.
At LoveDay you will notice they love to support local talent like this bronze stallion designed by Tony Evans. As a young artist having graduated in 2003 from The Wirral Metropolitan College, he already sold many of his works throughout the UK, America, Europe, and the Middle East.
I can’t believe this set of 6 regency dining chairs is only 320 GBP – a total steal!
A 1920’s mahogany dressing table is all I need to complete my French Regency style bedroom. Just gorgeous.
For more antiques, take a look at LoveDay’s online catalog.

North Carolina Townhouse Makeover
A North Carolina townhouse got an exciting new makeover by designer Jamie Meres who assisted clients with their new rental home. Since the new couple were living here temporarily and didn’t want to break the bank, Jamie found a mix of catalog finds, Craigslist scores, refurbished items and local finds. I like how Jamie experimented with hues of grey for the walls which is totally of-the-moment for this year, as well as the amazing lamps she found on Etsy. The vintage chairs were all newly upholstered in vibrant and eye catching hues which work great for the summer months. Check it out:
