Friday's Play List: Bits of Red

Happy Friday, dearest ones! For all you new followers who just joined me...Thanks for having a seat on my sofa! This might call for bringing in more sofas!! Which, reminds me, of the last post I talked about my own sofa collection, that's getting a little out of hand. My aunt Debbie, has the same problem of collecting sofas. She has ten children and just as many fun and funky sofas. She's named every one of them. Some that come to mind, "Old Yeller", "Frosted Mini Wheat", "Cookie Monster", that sort of thing. Isn't that kinda funny? Now, all the rest of my family, has taken inspiration from her. Sofas in the Hood..."Cat's Tongue", "Raisinette", "Black Licorice"...anyway, that might be another blog post. I'd love to hear more fun names if you have any? Aren't sofas just like a best friend? They have to be comfy and stylish.

I just love, love, love this sassy room with the red carpet! {image via coco and kelley}The room is a brave mix of classic, vintage, and mod. If you look closely, you can see the beautiful chinoiserie wall paper. And LOVE the brass sconces...{Brass is back, folks!} It adds a nice warm, yet elegant look to the room.
Moving on...the bike image is from Canadian, Tommy Ton of Jak & Jill. His muse is for Vogue is Tavi, {the blog phenomenon}. image via sogni sorrisi, {my new blog crush}.

Lastly, the last image is from one of my photo shoots that I stylized last year. {photography by sesha shannon of convey studio photography}

I'm meeting with two brides today and then hanging with the fam this weekend at some indoor soccer games. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend...and DON't forget the Emersonmade giveaway! You have til Sunday night to enter! Thanks for all your tweets and links, dearest ones!!

I will probably do a weekend post, so please visit!
