Faux Bois

Faux Bois, translated in French as false wood, is an imitation that is artistically made by with different media. This look is the perfect way to make your space look organic, or even more masculine. It would be the perfect touch for a little boys room, or even for a man's chic apartment. Here are some of my favorites.

I love how Faux Bois is used n the form of Aspen trees in this wallpaper.


This guest house is stunning, the very neutral gray wallpaper really helps to bring out the different tonal colors in the surrounding furniture. Also that beautiful light pouring in reflects so well off the paper, creating a larger looking space.


This faux bois wall paper has a very retro essence to it, and so I think it goes perfectly with this farmer tub.


How beautiful would this be in a little boys nursery? I love the periwinkle blue, with almost chalky looking aspen trees.

This week I am meeting with my future employers both for my job, and internship. To me, appearance is everything. How you look can really reflect on a persons judgement of your character, and with so many exciting new trends this summer, why not spend that extra money to make sure you look right for the part!

Today while browsing the stores in the nearby town Hanalei here in Kauai I came across an amazing decor store that has the most beautiful imported treasures. Amongst the hand woven blankets and rugs, the hand painted ceramic bowls, and the hand sewn kaftans, I came across a beautifully crafted bone jewelry box. I have been wanting a Bone inlaid piece of furniture for a while now, and where better to buy it than here in Kauai. I would show you a picture, however it was nicely bubble wrapped for my trip back tomorrow. Bone inlay furniture is made in the middle east and often imported to the western world as decorative pieces. They are the perfect object to really make the theme of any room.

Here are some spaces that are inspired by bone inlay furniture and accessories.

Last night we went out to a glorious dinner to a place on the North Shore of Kauai called, Lighthouse Bistro. It was so delicious and the decor was very coastal and cute. The best part though was the restaurant cat, Mr. Chow. He was extremely friendly to the point that he kept jumping up and sitting behind our friend Shane's back. Mr. Chow wanted in on the action. Three days left to this amazing trip, hopefully we will make them the best yet!
Aloha! x

A Scent Can Make A Difference







When walking into any space a scent can make a world of difference. As humans we relate to smells, whether it takes us back to a fond memory, or has a relation to a time in your life, we make connections with aromas. So of course it is important when having guests into your home that they are welcomed with a warm cedar candle, or a freshly spritzed pomegranate room spray. Either way they will feel welcomed and warmed by a smell and your spaces smell will cue a memory. Smells have a profoundly positive affect on your happiness, so surround yourself with a good smell and you will have a happy, positive household. Here are some favorites!






Frederick Malle's Perfume guns are about as close as you can get to the scent of a cluster of lilies, with hints of rose, and jasmine. Created by Dominique Romion, this scent is sure to put the spring not only in your step, but in you home aswell.

$145














Fleurs de Fete by Voluspa is a mixed aroma of sweet roses, white narcissus, tuberose, and butter creme cake! (Sound delightful), with its sweet white decanter diffuser this scent gives off warm subtle hints and last for up to 6 months!

$48








Diptyque, a very well known Parisian fragrance line, carries some of the most glorious scented candle you may ever know. With an array of floral, spicy, and woody scented candles, this little candle alone can completely scent an entire space with its rich aromas, and last for hours after blown out. This particular candle to the right 'Opopanax', holds extracted scents of resin with hints of balsamic. All around a very cedar-y and quite masculine finish.

$28









L'Artisan Parfumeur produces a lovely line of home fragrances. This fragrance to the right has hints of fig (my favorite smell), and gives off a very earthy tone, with very sweet notes.

$38








Jo Malone is a company I have fond memories of. Growing up my mother and aunt would douse themselves in Malone perfumes and creams, and dot their houses with candles. Malone fragrances typically hold very strong, and rich smells. This diffuser that has aromatic scents of lime, basil, and mandarin gives of a tangy citrus scent for the home, leaving a crisp and clean scent wafting through your space.

$75








Creed  Mimosa Soleil Spray has it all in the name. A bubbly aroma of sweet meets tangy smells mixed into an all natural concoction (alcohol free), this scent is sure to really give off the wealthy affect.


$150
