The Pursuit of Style on Glitter Guide

So did anyone see my girl Lindsay from The Pursuit of Style on Glitter Guide yesterday? Holy. Moly. I mean I knew the girl had style but her place literally knocked my socks off. Lindsay loves color, just like me. Must be something in the name. Just. Sayin'. She is not afraid to mix bold colors and even more bold patterns. Just look at her bedroom. I die. 

That chair. That desk. Who else is picking themselves up off of the floor? My thoughts exactly. 

On to the living room. I am a huge fan of having one leopard accent in a space. That pillow is THE most. 

A hot pink tufted barrel chair? I think yes. Very much so. 

Her bold striped entryway absolutely slays me. I have actually featured this hallway on S+S before, believe it or not. Loving the items she has added since then. 

And last but certainly not least, a well stocked bar. Which equates to a happy home in this book of mine. 

Is the girls house not to die for? I mean seriously. 

An Eclectic Client Design

What up ladies? I am sharing one of my most recent client designs with y'all this morning. This one hails from deep in the heart of Texas from an already beautiful home. These peeps have impeccable taste and it is really just blending some pieces they already have with some new to them pieces to create a functional and eclectic living space. 

They already had a lot of neutrals, so to balance that I was all about adding pops of color to super transitional pieces. Call it leopard or call it blue velvet, but this place is going to kill it. Design wise that is. I love the Mid-century modern pieces mixed with the glam AND the natural natural elements. It is truly an eclectic design and I cannot wait to see it come to life. 

Monday Musings: Symmetrical Style

What up y'all? Did you have a fabulous weekend? I hope so. Let's get right to it. So today I am discussing something very atypical to my style. Symmetry. Why is it atypical? Well I usually am on board with asymmetrical designs as I find it makes spaces more unique and eclectic. Well this is 'Merica and I can change my mind on a dime if I please. I am now exercising that right. I am totally digging symmetry. Symmetry doesn't have to be boring or common. With the right background, accessories and lighting; you can totally get that one of a kind, out of a magazine look. Trust. 

So you know me, I like to practice what I preach. Here is a perfect example of symmetry in a space. Get the look.

Kansas City's Finest: Meg Biram

So today's talent of Kansas City's Finest does not necessarily live here, but she is from KC. So it counts, yo. Meg Biram is kind of a master of everything in the PR/Blog/Design/Branding world and recently opened her own online shop with all things Meg. I first came across Meg's Photography and was beyond smitten with her work and even more with the price. I will take two of everything. Please and thank you.

Are those photos the jam or what? She is beyond brilliance. That Kennedy Center piece will be mine. Get yourself one, two or all of them. You won't be mad. Meg is just another Kansas Citian kicking ass and taking names. xoxo

Falling into Fall

Hello my darlings. Fall is upon us, and I am choosing to ignore th 80+ degree temperatures here in Missou-rah. What does that mean for you? Fall decor for the home. It is actually quite easy to add an element of autumn to your house on the cheap. A spiced candle, some gold, some fur and possibly some animal inspired accoutrements. Fall means me wrapped up in a fur blankie in front of the fire. Only thing missing from that picture? Me being able to figure out how to light a fire in my fireplace. Need to get on that. Let's fall into fall. Shall we?

Monday Musings: What Up Dawg?

Hello my dearest of darlings. What was up this weekend? Were you productive? Did you party? Did you watch the Chiefs go to 4-0? I mean I am considering being a fan this year, really. You may think I sound like a fair weather fan, and you would be correct. You can only watch your home team lose so much. 

So we all are aware how much I love dogs. And not only do they run the show, they each have two sets of portraits painted of them in the house. I wish I were kidding. There is something so fun and yet stately about the painted pups. You know me, a little funk has to be added to each and every space and this is the perfect accessory to do so. Tell your dogs I said "you're welcome." Trust me. Respect.

Kansas City's Finest - Kirsten McGannon Art

Friday. Here we are! So I have decided to start a new series called Kansas City's finest. I am all about supporting local Kansas City talent (artists, designers, stylists alike) and would love to show the rest of you what this city has to offer. There is a huge artiststic and creative circuit in this city and I know y'all are dying to know what the hell we do here in the middle of the country. Let me give you a hint. It does not involve milking cows. I know. Chakakhan. Yes the lyrics should be rolling through your head now. Thank me later.

I recently came across the talent of Kirsten McGannon Fine Art who does amazingly colorful abstracts that I am DYING to incorporate into all of my spaces. Excessive? I think not. This lady is definitely not a one trick pony and has definite range with her pieces. Just look what she has shakin'.

What say you? Talented, right? If you are a local talent of KC and would like to be featured, please email me at sadieandstella@gmail.com. Would love to hear from all of you! Have a lovely weekend my dears. Love you. Absolutely mean it. XOXO

The books are stacked

How jazzed are y'all that the weekend is upon us? Show of hands. So if you ask any of my current clients, they would tell you I am book obsessed and they probably would not be far off. Stacking books is always part of my repertoire and  I feel there is nothing more unique and interesting than stacking a load of bare spine books in any space. Really. It makes any average Joe/Jane appear smart (always a plus) and fascinating. Let's fool them. Stack it up y'all.
