I discovered UK company Graham & Green probably a couple of years ago when I saw an item of theirs in a magazine, and have loved so many of their items ever since. They carry the most bone and pearl-inlaid furniture of any home decor website that I've seen. I believe that most bone inlay furniture is made in India, and at quite a pretty penny since it's labor-intensive to produce. I adore the pieces, and although they would likely be overkill in groups, a few pieces here and there add a glam touch with a worldly feel.

The black and white combo seems to be the most abundant, but I've also seen pink, white, green, blue, brown and gray. I have two of the Bougainvillea switch plate covers from Anthropologie, which are pink inlay; probably a very similar pink to the Pink Graham & Green pieces.




They are even prettier in person than they were online, so I'm thinking that some of that pink inlay furniture would be stunning in a room! All of the following pieces are from Graham & Green.


























Beautiful, right? But.... I gotta save the best for last! My favorite color of inlay furniture by far is the gray. It's hard to see the design on the white-on-white pieces; while the black and white pieces have so much contrast that they are pretty loud. The gray, however, is a perfect medium. You can see the design very well still, but the look is more subtle. So classy. All of the following pieces are from Graham & Green as well, aside from the first one which is from Niki Jones.










While Graham & Green, as with most of the sites I have found, charge quite a bit for their pieces, there are websites that specialize in inlaid furniture with much more reasonable prices. I have no idea how they compare in terms of quality, however. The pictures look like the same quality of pieces. For example, Graham & Green charges $702 USD for one nightstand without shipping, whereas a site called Bone Inlay Furniture charges $770 USD for 2 lookalike nightstands, including shipping. Not exactly cheap for nightstands, but a bargain in comparison! No prices were listed on their website, so I just emailed them for info. A quick email is worth such a huge savings though, I'd say!

New Fave Designer Kishani Perera

It has just been in the past few months that I have had the pleasure of discovering LA-based designer Kishani Perera! She has worked several times on Molly Sim's homes and is currently working with Gary Oldman on his. I have yet to see a room done by her that I don't love. We'll start with my favorite, an 1920's Spanish style home in LA. This has honestly got to be one of my favorite homes I've ever seen! The colors are stunning and it just feels super cozy. Plus, the ram's head coffee table and black Moroccan wedding blanket in the bedroom give me chills :)










In another LA home she uses the Moroccan wedding blanket again, but this time as a rug in the dining room. I love that idea! It might not be able to handle a ton of traffic, but a dining room that you don't use every day is a perfect spot for it. It adds so much fun and sparkle, it's like some fabulous piece of jewelry for your home!






Here's a few other pictures of various residences she's designed. Each one pure perfection.
