West Elm - Where have you been all my life?!
You guys! I am in LOVE! I think I am the last person on this planet to discover West Elm, but I am completely smitten... how did I not know about this gem beforehand?! I kind of feel like this store is a culmination of everything simple, classic and chic with a contemporary edge. Don't get me wrong - I veer towards classic/traditional through and through - but there is a total soft spot in my heart for the more edgy and modern... especially in accessories. Over the weekend, Kris and I went couch hunting, and stopped into West Elm - and while none of the sofa's were for us, Kris was literally ooh-ing and ahh-ing over everything in there. It was SO freaking funny, since I've never once seen him get that excited about shopping. Or home decor. Ever. Soooooooo many good light fixtures and lamps I mean, how good is this chandelier??? Or this faux tree branch lamp?? I mean, that is just cool! And this hinge arm glass floor lamp kills me ...
