GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE...
Good morning lovelies!! The sun hasn't quite come up yet, but we're working away on putting the finishing touches of Rue Issue #6...
We hope you love every little piece of it. I personally think these might be the best homes we've featured yet. And some pretty darn good shopping too. Coming soon...

ROOM OF THE WEEK 7.14
While I should be concentrating on client projects, the upcoming issue of Rue, and a million other things, my mind keeps wandering to my new apartment as I begin imagining all the possibilities for each room...
So, I thought I'd start sharing some of my inspirations as I pull them. This one just happens to be good enough to be the Room of the Week!
As Miss Maryam suggested, I think I'm going to have to adopt some gorgeous Moroccan decor for the space, and where I'd really love to see it all end up is the bedroom. While I won't be able to recreate a room as stunning as this, I can certainly pull in a few elements like a graphic but neutral-toned rug, at least one traditional inlay piece, a dramatic mirror, long full drapes and a chic little chandelier.
What I really love is the overall effect these rich pieces bring to the room - warmth and luxury balanced by moments of simplicity like the bed and unfussy drapery. What's your favorite element?

ROCK THE (OFFICE) CASBAH
Yesterday I hauled booty up to Target on the hunt for an iPad (the model I wanted is sold out everywhere!), and practically ran over the poor guy who was eyeing the very last one they had to get my hot little hands on it (success!). After promptly purchasing I of course had to roam the store... you know, just to see what deals might be calling my name...
And what did I find? Not one, but two of the Calypso for Target poufs that I have been coveting! So, I've decided to continue my Modern Moroccan fantasy for the office with some Arabian decor, adding in some more whimsical ideas with a caravan of camels rug, a perfectly appropriate pendant, and kaleidoscopic pillows. I can see them all surrounded by billowing sheer curtains...
And of course, you'll find me perched on my pouf in this ensemble. A glamorous little romper, elephant ring, and jutti slippers. Perfect for summer workdays! Who wants to come over and lounge??

LILAC + TANGERENE
Some of you may remember that back in January I started dreaming of office space for coco+kelley. Well... the space I had in mind fell through, but I'm determined to find something this summer, and can't wait to decorate! Which - of course - means that I'm dreaming up color palettes...
Just like my home, I imagine I'll want to switch things up in the office here and there, but I do think having a color scheme that I'm drawn to, but might not want in the house, is a great possibility. Which is why I'm seriously considering a little lilac with punches of tangerine...
I really love the mix of modern with Moroccan influences, and the one piece I've had on my wish list for some time now is the sofa from Crate & Barrel which happens to come in lilac as a stock fabric option (they also have a desk I'm drooling over). I'd love to have a corner of the office space be a sitting area where anyone can get comfy and settle in on the laptop or with coffee and magazines when we need a little break from work - and these pieces would be a fabulous start! What do you think of this scheme?

GLOBAL STYLE: HANDIRA RECAP
It is inevitable: Every time I complete and publish a coco+kelley post, I find 50 pictures that would have been perfect for the topic. Cristina here from Fuji Files with a little recap that was just too good to pass up. You may recall the Moroccan wedding blankets from a few weeks ago?
I was well aware that they make beautiful bedspreads, but when I found these alternative ways of displaying a handira, I simply had to share.

I'm in love with this room and its beautiful rug with matching pillow cases! And handira pillows are an affordable way to bring this look home. Of course carpet cleaning would be an issue, but let's not let reality spoil my daydream of basking in this nook with my matching yellow house slippers and lemony beverage.
Major 'Why didn't I think of that!' moment happening with this coffee table. The sequins add just the right touch of glam to this neutral living room.
And speaking of glam, did you notice:
The most luxurious picnic blanket ever! I'm imagining a fab bachelorette picnic complete with silver trays and macaroons. So if you're still searching for reasons to invest in one of these beauties, here are three more!
