How I Would Spend $500 on OKL?

If you live in the Tri-State area, I hope you had a chance to spend some time outside, yesterday. It was a perfect Spring day. And today....not so much. It's rainy, so I will be inside contemplating on how I would spend $500 on One Kings Lane....if I could win my own contest.  

$500

Of course I can't win, but I'll tell you what would be on my list of purchase possibilities... I love the Global/Traveled look, and the International Influence Sale has quite a few conversational pieces that interest me.

I also love a few vintage art pieces sprinkled around a home. This is my living room before I gave away that large sectional sofa. I purchased the vintage poster art in London, and I love her.

You can see more of this room, here.

I am dying over all the beautiful vintage art on sale right now. Here are some of my favorites.

Orchids in White Pots / Peaceful Beach /  Italian Villa / Seville Village  /  View of Carmel

Unfortunately, these sales will be over by the time my Polyvore contest ends. No worries, I am confident that OKL will have more treasures that we could covet.

Did you see Chinoiserie Chic's post yesterday? Beth has entered and her boards are so CC! You can follow Beth on Polyvore, here. Jennifer is making a board a day (no limit on the amount you can enter) and announced that next Monday she will be hosting a Polyvore contest. I am entering that one for sure! You can follow Jennifer on Polyvore, here.

How would you spend $500 on One Kings Lane?

Happy Daylight Savings Time Monday! I don't know about you, but I am already feeling the positive effects of the longer days....I hope I don't jinx it, but it is going to be 60 here, tomorrow, and we won't talk about the possibilities of snow on Thursday (say what?).

Today, is the beginning of my Polyvore feature for Project Decorate. You may have already seen it around... Polyvore features a blogger in front of their 20 million subscribers and everyone has a chance to win a $500 gift card to One Kings Lane. There will be 2 lucky winners. This contest ends next Sunday.

$500

Here is my Tropical Coastal look. I have been telling you about this look for quite some time. Remember when Chinoiserie Chic wrote about it? I want it....everywhere!

A Beach House For Sale

You know how I love to stalk real estate...well, I have been obsessed with Michael Lawler's website ever since I toured one of his listings last May. The home wasn't right for us, but I have continued to check his site. The photography and home staging he presents is as impressive as it gets for real estate agents. 

Check out this beach house

Here's the location......I know!

In case you are wondering.....it's 17 Million. You can get all the information for this listing, here.

I am dying to tag along on one of Michael's listing photo shoots. And of course I would tell you what I learned. 

Do you play the Lottery? I think I may need to start.

 

Real Estate Photography

I have been pouring over real estate images all over the web. Like most of you, after an overload of image upon image, interesting photography stands out. I really like this company called Jump Visual.  They specialize in Real Estate Photography. 

One of the photographic angles that caught my eye was the elevated shots.

These views really convey the sense of space each property has to offer.

Now if you want to see something really amazing, watch this aerial video tour.

Don't you just love touring homes this way?
