Welcome to Oly World -

It’s been with us from the beginning of the beginning for Alice Lane – Oly Studio.

You open the door to their space, and you’ve opened the doorway to heaven. I hear the Ahh Ahhhhhhhh (angels singing). It’s so pure and inspiring. Every time I visit Oly it’s like my compass gets pointed back to true north.

We use the line to pepper in their occasional pieces here and there throughout the homes we design and the showroom. It adds that unique, inspired styling. The sparkle, shine and designer quality to any space. It’s incomparable.

Enjoy the new introductions available Early Spring 2012.

Inspiration in Unusual Places – Fall Wardrobe

Fall is in full swing bringing cooler temperatures and crisp air. Let fall fashion colors, patterns and textures inspire your interiors!

Peaches and salmons mixed with greens makes for a lovely outfit or powder room wallpaper.

Mix patterns – make sure the colors compliment each other and that the scales vary.

A rich raspberry mixed with some lighter and more subtle coral shades give your outfit or room some drama and flair.

This season, Aztec and Native American patterns are huge. Add them as accents with pillows or small rugs.

Market Watch: Cisco Brothers

Adam and I are in High Point, North Carolina at the famed Furniture Market. We love this time of year! It is Christmas for us. We are here scouting out the latest and greatest to bring home to you all -

First stop, Cisco Brothers! It’s known for it’s high end casual. I melt. I had to get there first thing – first day! Because I love their one-of-a-kind pillows. I can only buy them 2 times a year when I’m at Market. I usually have to pick from whatever is left. Not this year! I gobbled up all my favorites. The pillows are made from vintage saris and scarfs – down inserts, unusual sizes. They give any sofa, chair, or bed that Cisco flavor, which is traveled, collected and inspiring.

I bought a boat load! They should ship next week. We’ll give you a holler when they get in! Or you’ll just feel it in the air.

Here are a few more things to look forward to in the coming months.

How-To: Style a Tray Table

Let me introduce you to the simple beauty of the versatile tray table. The tray table is no longer used just as the cocktail lover’s best friend – but as a resting place for your favorite food and beverages, your most special serving dishes, your prettiest cake plates, or even your mother’s linens.

In one of my most recent projects we had an empty, awkward corner in the kitchen. Rather than filling the corner with art or useless accessories, we decided to fill the space with a functional and stylish tray table.

We loaded the tray table with all of her favorite things from ice cream dishes to serving trays to cake domes. The portable tray makes it so simple to serve your party guests – it’s an effortless entertainer’s dream!

“Entertaining is not about making an impression”, says this internationally known event and party planner, Colin Cowie. “Instead, it’s about being welcoming and calm and making your guests feel comfortable. Your presentation can still be chic and stylish and elegant, even in the relaxed environment of your own kitchen.”

So what better piece than the versatile tray table to lift your style to a new level!

The new pillows have arrived!!!! Traditional Indian blockprinting is used for these pillows, creating beautiful geometric patterns. With saturated, natural colors and whipstiching around the edges, these pillows are interesting and unique.
