Daily Pretty + A PSA (Public Service Announcement)

Just look at that insanely fabulous herringbone floor! And now to breaking news, just in case you were hiding under a rock yesterday, the MiNTY shop is now open and ready to supply you with oodles of vintage goodies. Pop over and pick yourself up a treat or two and remember, Mother's Day is just around the corner.

These Are a Few of My Favorite...Pins!

Love the rustic vibe and I don't know if it's simply the light, or if the walls are really a wonderfully watery blue stain, but I am transfixed.

Ok, now the fact that I am intrigued by this one is, well, intriguing. I'm not normally one who heeds the siren call of pastels, but I'm really enjoying the way they warm up those brushed concrete walls. Oh, and the rug...I'm really enjoying that rug.

The window. Oh lord, the window.

Black. Lacquered. Kitchen. Sheesh, what's not to like.

I'm feeling all zen-like just looking at this. Om....

P.S.- We MINTY gals love nothing more than spotting one of our fabulous finds on one of our favorite sites. This time it's an amazing OKL Tastemaker Tag Sale and these fun pear and apple condiment servers. The OKL version are, sadly, sold out. $199 for the pair.

Aaah, but here's our MINTY version. Wonderfully whimsical brass containers with a beautiful vintage patina. Unlike the OKL pair, ours come with the original glass liners and a perfectly fitted wee brass spoon. They make the ideal finishing touch for your holiday table, brunch table, or a simply lovely Mother's Day gift. And, at $45 each, you can have all four for the price of the OKL pair. Can you say, steal! Visit MINTY on FB for more information.

This one needs no commentary.

The beautiful Madrid home of uber talented decorator, Isabel Lopez-Quesada. There are some seriously amazing moments happening within those walls.

A Swiss Chalet

I'm feeling a case of cabin fever coming on. And for all my weather woes, this one would certainly make winter tolerable.

Fine Dining

Although this is a commercial space, I think the designer did a brilliant job of creating an intimate, totally inviting, and cozy dining spot. I would happily recreate this look in my breakfast nook. A perfectly broken in tufted chesterfield, a set of gorgeous leather mid-century chairs, and a cushy velvet pillow. Yes, please. Oh, and I mustn't forget the white painted brick. I want summa that, too.
