Do you have lots of guests coming to visit this summer? Those precious 18 summer weekends are starting to fill up on our calendars here at DwellStudio! So we're doubly excited that our new duvet sets have arrived! Our guest rooms are in need of an update before all our friends and family start to fly in. Now we just have to decide which set we're going to choose...


For an elevated feel our Links Cloud Duvet Set adds the perfect punch of glam. Our designers culled inspiration for this trellis-like pattern from the luxe appeal of those swanky Hollywood Regency parties.



If you're outfitting your beach house (or just trying to add a beachy vibe to your city pad) the Watercolor Smoke Duvet Set is the perfect blend of casual elegance. The sun-washed print has us swooning for those easy-breezy days of sea-side lounging.

Which of our modern bedding sets fits your style? We'd love to know!

Last week Christiane and our team of designers headed up to New England for the Brimfield Antique Show. It's one of the largest and most respected flea makers in the world! Christiane and our designers love rummaging through all the vintage treasures to find inspiration for future projects. If you follow us on Instagram then you already know that Christiane deemed this year's major trend at Brimfield to be Hipster Heritage. Our team sourced loads of distressed wooden frames, quirky trinkets and rows of rotary phones. Are you a flea market fanatic? What are some of your favorite finds? Here's our roundup of snaps from this year's Brimfield trip...

Our friends Haus Interior have a lovely store in LA that Christiane recently visited. So it's no surprise that they were featured in a beautiful spread by the always stunning Lonny Magazine! How gorgeous are these images!?!



We especially love the tips on getting that signature Haus Interior graphic-chic look...



1. Mix warm materials such as wood with chrome or glass.

2. Don't be afraid to use dark paint.

3. Use outdoor furniture indoors.

4. Add texture.

5. Layer history.

It's truly a sign of the times that we're running our very first contest on Pinterest—StyleSquared! This image sharing site has become such a cool way to gather images from around the web. It's become totally ingrained in my life—I've even had to set Pinterest time limits! If you follow us on Pinterest, you already know about my obsession with chic French girls... so in honor of Mother's Day I'm spotlighting a few of the stylish model moms who constantly have me in a sartorial swoon. I love taking style cues from these women who make motherhood look so badass!
