Mixing it up: ombre

 

I’ve been seeing a lot of the ombre trend lately, but it wasn’t until I saw this staircase featured on Martha Stewart.com that I knew I wanted to feature it here on the blog. Then I remember that I actually have featured another ombre design here before - do you remember the Anthropologie Flamenco shower curtain? If not, check it out here. 

Turns out, Anthropologie seems to have a thing for ombre. Below is their Windsor Love Seat. A very fun piece, although it comes with a hefty price tag (not exactly sure I have $1,500 sitting around to buy this, but if you do, by all means go for it!) I do think that this is a great inspiration piece to make into a DIY. Someone has already probably done it, and if I come across it I will definitely share with you all.

 

Also in Anthropolgie’s ombre closet - or should I say, on their windows, is the Wavering Ombre Curtain. It comes in four different colors, so you can match these dip-dyed draperies with the color scheme in your room.

 

Matching the Anthropologie Flamenco shower curtain, is Urban Outfitters Tonal Waterfall Ruffle Duvet Cover. The cascading ruffles add a whimsical feel to this bed, and certainly can be the pop in any bedroom.

 

And for a more subtle touch of ombre, this light. The different shades of pink illuminate when the light is on, a fun play of colors added to any room.

 

So what do you say? Ole to the ombre, or no?

A few weeks ago I shared with you all how I use my jewelry as decoration in my bedroom. If you missed it, check it out - I’m somewhat obsessed with statement necklaces, as you’ll see below. I also featured Stylist Rachel Zoe’s jewelry closet, which had me wondering how other people keep their jewelry - which brings us to today’s post. Some very impressive ladies, with some very amazing jewelry collections.

Above you see Kara Paslay’s display of necklaces, on knobs. Very unique. And below, as you will remember, is how I store my necklaces - on a tie rack.

 

Check out the office space for the Charlotte jewelry company, Towne & Reese, featured on Young House Love. Christi (one of the owners) bought these linen canvases in different shapes and sizes to display their jewelry collection. It’s definitely an easy and inexpensive way to showcase your jewels.

 

As always, I’m a sucker for Me Oh My’s Nicole Davis’ design aesthetic. Her jewelry collection, seen below, was featured on MadeByGirl and I’m obviously drooling over it. It looks so sophisticated and posh. Jealous.

 

The jewelry tree and bulletin board seen below belongs to Bex of Bex…a style diary. She made all of this herself with a frame, a piece of ply wood, leftover burlap, and some branches from outside. A very impressive DIY if you ask me.

 

And finally, you can’t go wrong with some tips from Martha Stewart. She pulled together these teacups to keep jewelry in. It looks so great in this drawer! I love the different sizes and patterns. After all, none of your jewelry is the same so why does what you store them in have to be?

 

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling inspired to find new ways to display my jewelry. How about you?
