Zinc Door

The talented gals behind Layla Grayce have launched a new home decor site called Zinc Door. I like the vibe. Although some of the brands overlap, it's decidedly sleeker and more modern than LG. The product lineup is also more focused - ZD is all decor, yay!

As far as brands go, you'll find the usual suspects like Jonathan Adler, DwellStudio, Bungalow 5, Oly Studio, Global Views, Regina Andrew, Worlds Away, and Arteriors. Zinc Door also has some less ubiquitous lines like Stray Dog Designs, Ro Sham Beaux, Belle Meade, Malibu Loft Collection from Somerset Bay, and Jamie Young. I absolutely adore both the Belle Meade and the Malibu Loft collections...just wish they were a bit less expensive. Here is a sampling of the items I liked best:

Have you shopped Zinc Door yet? If not, put it on your list because they have a good selection, nice big product photos, and I'm sure that their customer service is just as stellar as Layla Grayce's.

If you like what you see, be sure to enter the giveaway for a $10,000 bedroom makeover that Zinc Door is hosting with Lonny magazine!

Graphic Image Date Book Office Inspiration #2

Per my announcement on 8/26, Graphic Image has graciously offered up a 20% discount on all purchases and a snazzy 2012 date book to giveaway to one lucky reader...enter now if you haven't already!

Graphic Image makes gorgeous and functional date books, which are available in a variety of colors, styles, and sizes. The winner will get to pick their favorite combo and I'm guessing that it will be a tough decision given that there are so many fabulous options!

I'm putting together a few office/study mood boards to showcase some of those options and to show how a Graphic Image planner can serve as both an organizational tool and a piece of decor. Today I have a gorgeous, Blue 2012 Notebook in Crocodile Embossed Leather in the mix...
