friday finds.

by victoria comment

it would appear this week’s friday finds are all about the blues. but not in a sad or bad way, i’m actually just feeling the blue hue in its very best light, which is to say, i love the mood shades of classic blue can achieve in decor. always stylish, chic and slightly romantic. here’s hoping for a great weekend, everyone. rest up, relax and see you monday!

1. the very beautiful atelier solarshop in antwerp looks like it’s well worth the trip. At any given time, there may be a pop-up shop, a restaurant, and an art gallery operating there, in addition to a regular studio workspace.
2. these vintage paper patterns make my heart go pitter-pat. i’d love to turn them into fabrics and create a whole pillow collection.
3. i’ve always loved this Raphael wallpaper pattern shot by @loismoreno_ via milk magazine. such a romantic treetop pattern.
4. from blah to blue! need to give a room a bit of oompf? might i suggest a coat of a bold blue paint? this one looks smashing and pretty much makes this vintage dresser go from ordinary to alrighty!
5. what is it about an argyle pattern that feels so playful? i love this patterned floored paired with two smashing shades of blue molding. definitely playful, and most definitely chic!
6. san francisco’s new kelly wearstler designed proper hotel is a place at the very top of my “to stay” list. talk about playful! it’s over the top, but also fantastic.
7. next stop, brooklyn! i’ve got my heart set on a stay at the waterfront williamsburg hotel on my next trip to new york. i’ve got a big crush on that tufted blue velvet settee!
8. talk about your swoon-worthy french style, this flat in lyon is divine. if you fear painting an entire room blue, this idea of painted panels is pure perfection!
