Lilly Bunn Weekes

Last year, one of my clients emailed me and said something about seeing <a href="http://www.vogue.com/vogue-daily/article/vd-it-girl-lilly-bunn-weekes/">my blog mentioned on Vogue's website</a>. I was curious and thrilled. The mention was in an Vogue 'It Girl' article about <a href="http://lillysnotebook.blogspot.com/">Lilly Bunn Weekes</a>, a born-and-raised Manhattanite, mother of two and talented interior designer.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/meandgrace.jpg" /></div><br />She is gorgeous, stylish, accomplished and is friends with NY's social elite, so I wasn't expecting much after reaching out to her to say thank you for the mention. But, instead, I discovered that Lilly is warm and very friendly and it's been such a treat to get to know her a little.<br /><br />Lilly worked for <a href="http://www.townandcountrymag.com/">Town and Country</a> for five years and then <a href="http://www.mcmilleninc.com/">McMillen</a> for two years, where she started <a href="http://www.mcmilleninc.com/plus.php">McMillen Plus</a> with <a href="http://www.mcmilleninc.com/about/apyne.php">Ann Pyne</a>. Now Lilly is taking on her own design clients, <a href="http://lillysnotebook.blogspot.com/">AND she has a new blog</a>! Aren't we lucky?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/drawing.jpg" /><br /><br /></div>Want to see some of her recent work? I knew you did.<br /><br />This is a wider shot of the room Lilly is photographed in above. The repro antique chairs were upholstered in <a href="http://www.madelineweinrib.com/mw/trade/mu_purple.htm">Madeline Weinrib's Purple Mu</a>. The table cloth is made from Pindler & Pindler fabric with trim from M&J Trimmings. The rug is by Stark. Grasscloth by Phillip Jeffries.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/donellypurpleroom.jpg" /></div><br />Lilly blogs about some of her client ideas. These are two different renderings for the same room.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/drawing-1.jpg" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/drawing2_0001.jpg" /></div><br />Could you die over these blue lacquered walls? This was one of the rooms Lilly designed while working on the McMillen Plus team. I think the Schumacher fabric on the chair is such a fun punch. The walls are painted in Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy in satin and then given a coat of poly. The lamps are from a really great store in Southampton called <a href="http://homenature.com/home">homenature</a>.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/donellyblueroom.jpg" /></div><br />And how adorable is this little girl's room Lilly is working on in Locust Valley? The decorative painting was done by Lilly's sister, <a href="http://www.palmerbunn.com/">Palmer</a>.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/IMG_2414.jpg" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/IMG_2409.jpg" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/IMG_2405.jpg" /></div><br />I spy <a href="http://www.dporthaultparis.com/www/#/collections/bed-linens/coeurs-blue/">Porthault</a>...<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/IMG_2412.jpg" /></div><br />Lilly lives in the West Village. Here she is at home with her two adorable daughters. The sofa is the <a href="http://www.crateandbarrel.com/furniture/sofas/petrie-sofa/s668217">Petrie from Crate and Barrel</a> and the amazing artwork is by <a href="http://www.donaldbaechler.com/ea.php?sec=Artworks">Donald Baechelor</a>. Lovely, right?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/familypic.jpg" /></div><br />Don't forget to drop by <a href="http://lillysnotebook.blogspot.com/">Lilly's Notebook</a> and say hello.

Holiday Shopping at Pier 1

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">This post brought to you by <a href="http://app.socialspark.com/disclosure_clicks?oid=742432" rel="nofollow">Pier 1 Imports</a>.  All opinions are 100% mine.<br />Have you been in to a <a href="http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=2502&oid=742432" rel="nofollow">Pier 1</a> store in the past couple of weeks?? Let's just say, if you are still trying to get up some lovely holiday decor before your in-laws arrive, Pier 1 is your one-stop shop! Check out a fraction (!) of the ornament section at my local store:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1ornamentsIMG_6403.jpg" style="height: 431px; width: 575px;" /></div>But, if you're already on top of your holiday decorating, Pier 1 has some really great furniture and accessories that would make for home-run <a href="http://app.socialspark.com/clicks?lid=2512&oid=742432" rel="nofollow">holiday gifts</a>! Here are some of the pieces that really caught my eye:<br />I LOVE this red chinois <a href="http://www.pier1.com/catalog/browse/0300.furniture/tabid/519/CategoryID/156/List/0/catpageindex/3/Level/a/ProductID/8764/ProductName/Kushak-Console-Table/Default.aspx">console</a>!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Picture62.png" style="height: 302px; width: 375px;" /></div>This iron and wood <a href="http://www.pier1.com/catalog/browse/0300.furniture/tabid/519/CategoryID/156/List/0/catpageindex/7/Level/a/ProductID/6644/ProductName/Adina-Step-Stool/Default.aspx">step stool</a> would be gorgeous in a library, pantry or kitchen!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span _fck_bookmark="1" style="display: none;"> </span><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Picture63.png" style="height: 420px; width: 350px;" /><span _fck_bookmark="1" style="display: none;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>I've actually been meaning to blog about the amazing black dining table for a while now. I love this so much. It reminds me of something from Oly Studio or Brocade Home for a fraction of the price.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1tableIMG_6406.jpg" style="height: 452px; width: 575px;" /></div>Check out the detail of the leg:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1tablelegIMG_6408.jpg" style="height: 540px; width: 450px;" /></div>And how about this <a href="http://www.pier1.com/catalog/browse/0300.furniture/tabid/519/CategoryID/979/List/0/Level/a/ProductID/6653/Default.aspx?ProductName=Parvati-Butler%27s-Desk">butler's pantry</a>!? Leave it as is or get creative with a fun paint color.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Picture64-1.png" /></div>I also love <a href="http://www.pier1.com/catalog/browse/0300.furniture/tabid/519/CategoryID/980/List/0/Level/a/ProductID/6659/ProductName/Mei-Display-Cabinet/Default.aspx">this cabinet</a>!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1cabinetIMG_6365.jpg" style="height: 600px; width: 450px;" /></div>Isn't this a beautiful stacking ball lamp? It looks so expensive in person!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span _fck_bookmark="1" style="display: none;"> </span><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/Pier1lampIMG_6381.jpg" style="height: 600px; width: 450px;" /><span _fck_bookmark="1" style="display: none;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Also, two mercury glass lamps that caught my eye in the store:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1MervcuryglasslampsIMG_6390.jpg" style="height: 600px; width: 450px;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1MercuryglasslampIMG_6395.jpg" style="height: 600px; width: 450px;" /></div>Gorgeous tortoise shell patterned hurricane glass!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1HurricanglassIMG_6357.jpg" style="height: 600px; width: 450px;" /></div>And all sorts of beautiful blue and white jars...<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1BlueandwhiteIMG_6375.jpg" style="height: 431px; width: 575px;" /></div>There was a great section brimming with stocking stuffer ideas. I loved this gold <a href="http://www.pier1.com/catalog/browse/0700.gifts/tabid/501/CategoryID/119/List/0/catpageindex/9/Level/a/ProductID/8892/ProductName/Gemmed-Zebra-Cheetah-Compacts/Default.aspx">measuring tape,</a> <a href="http://www.pier1.com/catalog/browse/0700.gifts/tabid/501/CategoryID/119/List/0/catpageindex/9/Level/a/ProductID/8892/ProductName/Gemmed-Zebra-Cheetah-Compacts/Default.aspx">animal print compact mirrors,</a> and I love this <a href="http://www.pier1.com/catalog/browse/0700.gifts/tabid/501/CategoryID/119/List/0/Level/a/ProductID/9882/ProductName/Grey-Cheetah-Lurex-Pashmina/Default.aspx">cheetah pashmina</a> too!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1tapemeasureIMG_6409.jpg" style="height: 600px; width: 450px;" /></div>I picked up some blinking Rudolph noses for my girls and some of the jingle bell sticks:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1bellsIMG_6410.jpg" style="height: 600px; width: 450px;" /></div>And Santa may or may not be putting one of these adorable zebras in one of my daughters' stockings:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span _fck_bookmark="1" style="display: none;"> </span><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1zebraIMG_6412.jpg" style="height: 600px; width: 450px;" /><span _fck_bookmark="1" style="display: none;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>These insulated cups are going in my stocking<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1insulatedcupsIMG_6405.jpg" style="height: 600px; width: 450px;" /></div>Also on my wish list? Well, I was pretty smitten with this <a href="http://www.pier1.com/catalog/browse/0500.home-decor/tabid/508/CategoryID/931/List/0/Level/a/ProductID/5503/ProductName/Round-Shell-Mirror/Default.aspx">capiz shell mirror</a>. It was HUGE and absolutely gorgeous!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1MirrorIMG_6353.jpg" /></div>And of course, the <a href="http://www.pier1.com/catalog/browse/0500.home-decor/tabid/508/CategoryID/134/List/0/catpageindex/4/Level/a/ProductID/6490/ProductName/Honeycomb-Mirror/Default.aspx">Honeycomb mirror</a> is still at the very top of my list! I have it on hold in a store in NJ, so I might be beating Santa to the punch on this one.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/IMG_3266-1.jpg" style="height: 643px; width: 550px;" /></div>This <a href="http://www.pier1.com/catalog/browse/0600.rugs-pillows-windows/tabid/514/CategoryID/948/List/0/Level/a/ProductID/9943/ProductName/Velvet-Ric-Rac-Pillow/Default.aspx">brown velvet pillow</a> was a favorite of the day for me - it reminds me of Lulu DK's Chant. The little boudoir size is perfect for an arm chair.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/P1LulupillowIMG_6350.jpg" style="height: 600px; width: 450px;" /></div>Do you have a favorite?<br /><a href="http://app.socialspark.com/disclosure_clicks?oid=742432" rel="nofollow">    <img alt="Visit Sponsor's Site" border="0" src="http://app.socialspark.com/views?oid=742432" style="border: none;" />  </a></div>
