I am excited to share some fun news – I am in InStyle’s November 2011 issue as a STYLE-SETTER (pg. 344) I was asked to be part of the very cool monthly column – Think Tank – and this month’s question was “How can I make my home feel more cozy?” I knew my answer immediately.
When I was invited to do this, I had just returned home from my holiday to Stockholm and Italy. I was all over black and gold products since I had spied them everywhere and really loved the vibe of the style. Aside from the color combination, the texture contrast was awesome – matte exterior and shiny/polished interior. To me, it was a thoughtful and pretty design and the warm glow from the gold – love it!
Most of my time in Italy with my mom was spent exploring the culture and style of the towns – the streets, buildings, design, food – seen in some of my personal photos above. We were walking back to our hotel when we strolled by a shoe store and – wowza – there were the Thomas Dixon lights as part of the shop design. I just loved them and was excited to share them with InStyle as great lighting and style idea for home.
On loving. living. small. and {soon-to-be launched} Salt General Store, I am all about making your house a home and *feeling* great where you live, seek refuge, relax. Lighting is super important, especially in smaller spaces because it can add balance and harmony to a room. And while you are at it, have a lighting element that is just awesome.
By the way, also in this issue is the Best of Web Online Shopping feature. It’s jam-packed with awesome online destinations for the lifestyle lover. I especially like the Etsy picks in each section. I was actually honored to be picked for this issue last year as one of InStyle’s Best of Web Home bloggers for 2010. It was a complete and lovely surprise to me and I still can’t believe it a year later. As a small blog, I was humbled to not jut be selected but to be in great company with some incredible (and big!) blogs/sites. Woo hoo!
