It’s that time of year to start preparing [and dreaming of] outdoor spaces. An outdoor sofa set is one of my biggest dreams, and this may be one of the best I’ve seen – because it lights up!!

The Sirchester Collection is made of the Poltrona [chair] and the Divano [sofa]. Both are suitable for indoor and outdoor use, and are available in a wide variety of colors. The light effect happens from an RGB light system within each modern sofa and armchair.

Available at Serralunga, the Sirchester collection is designed by deep design. Can’t you imagine yourself lounging with family and friends on one of these bad boys? I know I can – all year long!

Lately all I want in my home is vaulted ceilings. I’ve been stalking homes for sale and will only keep scrolling through the pictures if I see either a kitchen or a bedroom with high, vaulted ceilings. It really makes such a difference in a room when the ceilings are higher than normal – and there are so many different styles you can implement – with lighting and paint colors and molding. And skylights to add even more light and openness.

If I could have a house with super high ceilings in the kitchen AND in the bedroom, it would be heaven. My absolute dream home. But then I thought, which would I rather? Because most likely, I’m not going to be able to have both! I have to say, I think if it came down to it – I’d go for the bedroom. Even though more time is spent in the kitchen than in the bedroom, there’s just something more exciting about a master suite with high ceilings in comparison to one without.

But a open, vaulted kitchen would be excellent for entertaining….

What are your thoughts? If you had to choose between a master bedroom with high ceilings or a kitchen, which would you rather?

Did you watch the Oscars last night? I had them on in the background while doing other things, but lately I’ve enjoyed hunkering down in the living room and watching the different awards shows that have been on. It’s always fun to see what the different celebrities are wearing, and wondering what many of them were thinking! I also like to watch them in their seats to see if they’re actually paying attention or who they go to when they win.

This year, I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t think I’ve seen one of the movies that are nominated. I’ve been dying to see Silver Linings Playbook, Anna Karenina, Les Miserables, Argo and Lincoln. I’m sure I could think of more – but those are the movies at the top of my list. After watching the Oscars, I’m definitely in the mood to start checking the movies off my list! Which movies have been your favorites?

As far as the fashion for the evening went, I’m loving the fuller dresses, like those worn by Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence. I also loved the pink dress worn by Kerry Washington. Charlize Theron also looked beautiful in all white. I never realized how tall she is – Adele either! Seems like everyone looked tall next to Kristin Chenoweth, who looked great as well.

What did you think of the fashion at the Oscars? Who’s dress was your favorite?

Happy Friday! Hope you have a fabulous February weekend ahead.

Here’s this week’s Weekly Six:

1 – Just started this easy whitening technique, with items you already have at home. Have you tried it?

2 – If I can learn to sew, I will definitely make this pretty pouf.

3 – Awesome wooden clutches.

4 – An interesting display at a modern museum.

5 – I’d be afraid to sit on this chair, but I love it nonetheless.

6 – Snickerdoodle bread that looks absolutely amazing.

Have a great weekend!

The Ghost Chair can be a pretty ubiquitous item, but that doesn’t really bother me. When I think about it, the places I see it the most are online, and not as much in person. [Maybe I’m not getting out enough!]

What I love most about the Ghost Chair is it’s versatility. It looks just as great alone in an office as it does as a pair in a living room or as dining chairs at a wedding. I even saw one image on Pinterest that was of a wedding ceremony that used Ghost Chairs. What I wouldn’t give for a wedding like that!

To me, the Ghost Chair is chic, can be glamorous, it’s timeless and as I said above, versatile. These Ghost Chairs I found at Lakeland Furniture are available in a huge variety of colors, which adds even more diversity and fun to the equation!

I think it’s pretty clear that I love the look of Ghost Chairs – but what about you – do you love this look? What is your favorite arrangement of these modern chairs?

Disclosure

It probably isn’t the most comfortable seat out there, but at least it looks utterly fabulous.

Designed by Samuel Ben Shalom for Talents Design House, this beautiful modern armchair is a limited edition of 22 pieces. Known as the Mad Cow, it is made of a combination of fiberglass and resin and its painted in high gloss car paint.

It’s unique shape and bold design are captivating and gorgeous. The high gloss finish is to die for!

Wouldn’t you love a Mad Cow in your home? Yes, please! I wouldn’t let anyone near it, though.
