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!

Happy Friday!

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

FASHION FORWARD: VALENTINO FALL!

Love all things Valentino this fall.  Leather, long bloused sleeves, intricate detail, sparkle and more. All done so elegantly.  A lot of what Valentino does on the fashion runway can translate to home decor and design...a wonderful blend of simple silhouettes and painstaking detail can make an outfit or a room!

I would love to add a bit of Valentino to my fall wardrobe.  Wouldn't you?  No costume for me on Halloween...I'll just dream of dressing in Valentino!

I think my favorites are the leather coat and the red dress with the scalloped neckline.  Too fantastic I think!

Which of these looks do you prefer?  Which of these spaces catches your eye?  Do tell which and why!

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  Yesterday was at a shoot all day until about midnight for my real job.  You know a television shoot...directors, actors, big wigs running hither and thither.  A long day but we got a lot of good stuff. Speaking of fashion...I was wearing some cute sparkling Prada flats, some dark green ombre Rag & Bone jeans and a cute shimmery silver long  sleeve top (very cute, hard to describe...I pinned the top and the jeans on COCOCOZY Pinterest so you can see it).  About half way through the day, I was touching my neckline and I realized I had been wearing my shirt backwards for half of the day!  Hmmm...  Well there you have it.  Another COCOCOZY comedy moment brought to you by Coco!

P.P.S. Happy Halloween!!
