Celebrating the 4th in style!

This is a guest post I did for my good friends over at Bae - a fab home decor boutique in SF. Visit their blog at Bae Home & Design

You don’t need to clear out your local Hobby Lobby of everything with a star or a stripe this month to give your home or 4th of July celebration a patriotic sparkle, you can show your pride this Independence Day in a less is more approach with style, sophistication, and a little bit of fun.

The opening of The Pledge of Allegiance in a bold modern graphic print is a great way to show some spirit.

What is more decadent than cheesecake? Individual jar servings make it special, strawberries and blueberries make it festive.

Show up to the cookout in this chic and pretty sweetheart dress.

Available at Anthropologie.

Bae's SkLo float vessels would look great anywhere in your home or party. Cluster a grouping of them around some candles to create a colorful glow. See more

This patriotic throw pillow is so cute you can use it year round.

You can also decorate with your own accessories. Group together any red, white, and blue items you already have around your home to get that patriotic feel.

Have a happy, stylish 4th of July!

My most recent obsession: beautiful bedrooms!

you had me at coffee in bed...

gorgeous color scheme

I love the above bedroom - it's beautiful and considered, but still so liveable. Whatever this style is called- I'd say it's mine.

simple and classic beauty

beach cottage beauty

amazing wall treatment

This bedroom started with the headboard and grew around it.

Which is your fav?

Chic accessories and furniture

This stuff is right up my alley, sadly, it's across the pond.. Why do I always find stuff I like overseas! urg...very frustrating. The store is called Coco Målé Interiors, and it looks like a great place for one's home decor basics. It's slightly trendy, but not so out there you'll have to send it off to goodwill a year from now. I also like their wide range of white furniture and accessories. If only places like Coco Målé Interiors and Zara Home would set up shop state side! *sigh*

Isn't this "teapot for one" adorable!!

These tealight holders are so pretty!

gorgeous clock...

I really want a bamboo stool like this

House tours from Domino

As part of my ongoing series of posts honoring our late friend Domino, I now bestow upon you some lovely house tours we all came to look forward to every month. *sigh* Enjoy.

Mary McDonald's "Tom Jones rock" inspired kitchen. I like the typography plates.

Kathryn Ireland's rustic style home. I love the humble bathroom, and the console in the kitchen with the dishes stowed underneath.

Actress Julianne Moore's stab at interior decorating. I like some of the choices she made - not all my style, but still pretty. I like the piece of drift wood on the radiator.

A rebuilt green home in New Orleans.

Domino style director Dara's lovely white bedroom.

I love Amanda Peet's down-to-earth, bohemian home. It's so ethereal and filled with interesting, meaningful objects. I also love that you can tell that she had a hand in it. She didn't just hire some designer to come in and make it look like a movie star's home.

Serenity Now!

When I was a teenager, my bedroom was how I escaped from doing chores. Now, I want my bedroom to just be how I escape, period. Living in the city, one is constantly bombarded with people and stimulus, so it's great to be able to come home after a long day and just retreat for awhile.
These are some bedrooms I wouldn't mind coming home to. Let me know which bedroom you'd prefer!
