BEACH HOUSE DREAMS

Much of the country is frozen right now and we are experiencing 'cold' FL temps. This is when my mind drifts to the beach. I start reading Australian fashion blogs and looking at summer clothes down under. Which in turn inspires me to think about the Canvas Interiors vibe for the coming spring/summer season. We've been loving moody grays and bits of silver this winter with a dash of charcoal faux fur. 

Here are a few snaps of the floor as it looks now.  All of these items can be found on our website, canvasinteriors.com, or if you are reading locally you can visit one of our three locations which you can map  here. 

My inner voice is telling me to get back to my Cali roots by way of Micheal Kors' East Coast beach house. Make sense? Time to do a few mood boards.

STYLING A VINTAGE ARMOIRE WITH CHAIRISH

In our vernacular at Canvas Interiors, we believe style comes from putting things together that come from different times and places. Collections evolve as you do which is why we like to deconstruct a look and reconstruct it with our Canvas Interiors vibe in mind. And then I run off to a flea market and find vintage bits to use for display to add a bit of history and authenticity to our mix (oh Rose Bowl Flea Market how I miss you).  

So when the talented folks at Chairish  reached out to me and asked if I would pick a vintage armoire of theirs and style the top of it I said yes, yay, ok sure! I used accessories from our Canvas Interiors collection and do believe that it is a fabulous mix of old and new.

1. Add one bold statement piece.

- Drake dragon root sculpture

2. Layer in a little romance and rustic charm. Use items of different heights and finishes. Wood, rusted iron, a piece of art leaning on the wall as a backdrop. 

- Finn wooden urn

- Lille wire baskets

- I love you art

3. Glam it up with gold hurricanes. Group them together for high impact.

- Luna tall hurricane 

- Luna short hurricane

4. Make it dramatic with black and white photography leaning on the wall. Add a collection of smaller items in front like books wrapped in white paper or your milk glass collection. 

- Drew Doggett fine art photography (available in many sizes and framing options)

I have an old gentleman's armoire I bought at the Rose Bowl flea market many years ago. I proudly displayed my budding white McCoy pottery collection on it.  It moved with me from LA to SF and now resides in our guest room in FL. Not only does it serve a purpose for our guests but it looks great with a few stylish items on top.

Thank you Chairish for the opportunity to play with you!

CANVAS INTERIORS LATELY: GETTING COZY

I stepped outside today and there was a slight chill (I use the word 'chill' loosely) in the FL air.  I have an urge to make chili.  I have a cold. It must be fall. 

The easiest way to embrace fall in your home is shift the color palette slightly. A few touches of charcoal and ivory and the warmth factor goes up.  People will linger, snuggle up and drink tea under these cozy throws and pillows.

If you are looking for a big statement, our Hampton sofa is a must see.  At $1,699, this made-by-the- same-manufacturer-that makes-some-other-big-name-brands sofa is one to watch.

Check out these easy accents from Canvas Interiors. All of these lovely goods are available either in store or online.

CANVAS INTERIORS LATELY

We are gearing up for a busy fall and super excited about it.  Yesterday we moved the whole floor around in Winter Park and it was like Christmas morning. Everything looks fresh and new and the whole space feels vibrant and ready for fall.  

Here is a peek at a few snaps from around the store pre-floor move. Can't wait to share post-floor move with you once the dust settles (literally).

POP IN TO THE POP UP

Last week was a whirlwind, as is this one.  My brain is headed in so many directions for fall. I am ready for some cooler temps. I almost put a pair of leather boots on yesterday in 90 degree temps.  I stopped myself.  

Behind the scenes I have many a mood board taped to the walls in my office.  I love concepting the fall vibe for the store and our upcoming trip to North Carolina should give me just the creative breath of fresh air that I need. 

What does fall look like for you?  Are you gathering ideas for your must haves?  I know my style staples are firmly in place but there are a few things on my list to complete the picture.  I'll be back here tomorrow with those!

In the meantime, today is the last full day to stock up on India Hicks  goodies from our Canvas Interiors  Pop Up  shop last week.  Take a look at my favorites below. I cannot say enough about the Carmen Clutch. I know I sound like a broken record but I really really love mine. And the Beetle bags are the perfect gift for the college bound freshman.

CANVAS INTERIORS LATELY

With the Memorial Day weekend ahead I am excited to think of easy breezy summer days and nights. This is how I picture our 'someday beach house'. Until that someday arrives, I get my yayas out at Canvas Interiors dreaming up vibes of summer. Could this be your beach house? Or could you turn your city house in to a permanent summer retreat?  

The sectional is modular which is a great option for tailoring the size to your space. And the slipcovers are washable. Slipcovers are key to low stress beach living. Sandy feet? check.  Chocolate ice cream on the fingers? check. Freshly showered kids tucked in on the sofa watching a movie? check.  Mamma has wine? check.
