a little pink in the face

Do you ever get a compliment that frankly makes you a little pink the cheeks? Doesn't happen often but today was one of those days. Pinkish hue, rosy glow. Such a treat for a Friday afternoon. Our friend Lisa at Hamptontoes has provided us with said shade of rouge to light up our day (pun intended).

These are a few of the pieces that Lisa showed in her post. 

And btw, the fixtures and lamps she picked are for sure some of my personal favorites. 

 If the saying hasn't been said I'll go on and say it, "so many fixtures, so few sockets!"

Thank you Lisa for the smiles. We greatly appreciate it!

Happy Friday y'all.

Shout out to Mably Handler

Hello and happy Thursday. 

It's really hard to believe that the week has already progressed to Thursday...as in the eve of Friday!

Which means, the weekend is almost here (again) how did that happen?

Today we'd like to give a shout out to our Quadro N, our Sophia S, and to our friends at Mably Handler.

Thank you Mably Handler for your beautiful creation.

It's so cool to see how the pieces look once they leave the warehouse gates!

The Powell is my pal.

Confession: I have been a fan of Worlds Away for quite a while.  LOOOONNG before I started working here. And yes, it was a dream come true when I was hired I to work here!

Back during my "fan" stage, the one I lived in before being in the "fan/employee" stage I'm currently floating in...One of my very first Worlds Away purchases was the Powell.

Kids, let me tell you...if you don't have one of these you are really missing out because this guy is a show stopper.  End of story. You've probably been saying to yourself..."Oh I just don't have a place to put it..." or something like that to try to talk yourself out of buying one.  Well, this is a piece you find a place to put it.  You make room, you scoot other things out of the way. You hire two guys and a truck to move stuff out, you post other things on Craigslist. This guy does not disappoint! I mean...come on! Talk about tall drink of water!

This piece can be cast in so many roles.  Entry way, breakfast room, put two of them together with a rectangle piece of glass for a dining table or desk. I'm currently using it in my sunroom. The list of options for this flexible piece is endless. As is the list of chair styles you can put around it!

Do you know what's better than Powell 36?

Well maybe not better, but surely just as good...

The Powell 36's little sister!

While reading other design blogs this week, I discovered that the

Worlds Away Powell is growing a fan base (no pun intended).

Our friend over at THE GLAM LAMB loves the Powell too!

Check her out and tell her we said hello!



Ask and you shall receive...Seek and you shall find

As the story goes, "ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you..."Yeah, yeah, sure, sure...right? Well it's true.  Today we received a lovely flush of visitors to our blog who sent us pictures of their Worlds Away pieces in their home.

Let us share that of Mod Frugal.  They sent us a lovely showing of their new dining room space with 3 of our pieces.  Cosmo the table, Mondo the lamp, and Vicki the mirror.

Thank you to our new friends at ModFrugal for sharing with us and the Worlds Away fans! It's great to see these 3 kids have a good (and very beautiful) home! To view more of this dining room transition, click here.

We received a lovely note from a former Memphian, remember we are in Memphis "y'all", who now lives in Nashville.  She is no stranger to the blog world and as it were you probably are already friends! But just in case, let us introduce our friend from My Interior Life. She shared a lovely post with us that exhibits our CHFAC3 fixture front and center in her dining room.

We are so excited to meet you, make contact with you, and share your projects!

Many thanks, Kathy for sharing with us!

During the weekend...

Well, it seems like the official start of summer has been marked as we flew through the Memorial Day (long) weekend.  And today, as I sit down at my desk, I think to myself, "hmmm, it's summer".  Yes I know that the actual season change into summer isn't for a few more weeks but come on....teachers are out of school, the summer temperatures (at least here in Memphis) have spiked to nearly 100 and the pool is open! All of that equals, summer.

In the midst of thinking about the fact that summer has arrived, I also did  mental check list of what I did over the long weekend.  Really, it should have been a check list of what I didn't get done over the holiday weekend. Unless I can list naps, snacks and treats and things, hanging out with the hubbs and the kitty, and doing 1 (yes,only 1) complete load of laundry, I'm out of luck on said list.

So while I was super busy doing nothing over the holiday weekend, our friend Bryn from Isabella in Charlotte, North Carolina was busy doing all kinds of things like installing a Worlds Away Venus fixture in her entry way.

Is that great of what?  Totally great.  It makes me want to rush home tonight after work and reconfigure my own entry way!  Isn't design fantastic.


So...Shout out to Bryn and Isabella for posting about our Venus Fixture!

Happy Summer, kids! 

Memorial Day Weekend thankfulness!
