DESIGN FIND - CRYSTAL CHIC BY JLF

4000 Swarovski crystals artfully designed into one square foot equals an awesome bit of sparkle for the home.  It is art.  It is Crystal Chic by JLF.

A few years back JLF, a lover of all things sparkle, began making wall art for her friends and family.  She hand crafted and designed several stunning 12"x12" Swarovski crystal encrusted canvas pieces.  As soon as she made one, someone else asked for another.  Before she knew it she was making custom wall art for everyone she knew.

Fast forward to now. The Crystal Chic by JLF name is trademarked, she has a branding partnership with Swarvoski crystals and JLF is producing this handmade art for clients in Europe and here in the U.S.

The patterns are all graphic in nature and each piece is made by hand.  It is like art and jewelry all in one!

Pictured here is the piece that JLF custom made just for me!  A lovely trellis pattern in now rare white Swarvoski crystals.  I haven't figured out where to put it...I tried it on a wall painted in Benjamin Moore Adagio blue in my den and am considering a spot somewhere in my living room or bedroom too.  Every time I look at it, I smile.  Who doesn't love a little glimmer and whimsy?!!

Or, should I hang the wall art in my living room against a white wall. (above)

Crystal Chic by JLF comes in several different patterns.  JLF will work with each client to chose a pattern and color scheme that they want.

A good little DESIGN FIND I think!

Where might you hang some sparkling wall decor in your home?  Where should I put it?  Please comment below!

P.S.  Went to an L.A. Kings hockey game with TE last night...we went with his friends RM and JM who are visiting from Idaho.  We had a great time even though the Kings lost.  Oh, note to all my good friends and family...just because I went to a hockey game does not mean I know a thing about hockey...nor does it mean I will become a die-hard hockey fan.  Not happening.  Trust me.  :-) #willremaincluelessaboutanythingtodowithhockey

COCOCOZY DESIGN FIND - SMOK CHAIR & RUG!

Love the Smok collection by Austrian furniture designer Hans Sapperlot. Invisible stitching and an embroidery technique called smocking to create a modern quilt like effect.  The wool has a soft feel as it has been treated and shrunk...also it is water resistant as it comes from mountain sheep.  Sapperlot has used this smock technique in this modern home furnishings collection to create Eames like shaped chairs, nubby rugs and even lamps and pendant lights. I like!

DESIGN FIND: STUDYING A PERFECT PIECE OF FURNITURE!

Dering Hall - Montresor Desk - $13,923 (From designer Jiun Ho a desk with sandblasted walnut trim and cinnamon metal trim.)(above)

I think this desk is quite posh.  Very stylish for a well appointed home office or study. Something both modern and traditional about it.  A well designed piece of furniture...with sleek elegant lines and just the right amount of detail. I would pair it with a traditional Louis XVI side chair, a wonderful vintage brass Stiffel lamp with a dark shade, some lacquer desk accessories and a little vase of white peonies...work space perfection I believe.  A brilliant piece from San Francisco designer Jiun Ho (I had the pleasure of meeting Jiun last year at some showhouse event)!

A must have...realize also must have $13K as well...some day!

What do you think of this desk?  What does your ideal home office work area looking like?

Happy Tuesday!
