one room, one shop

( Click on image to enlarge! )

I love when one store, in this case Jayson Home and Garden, carries pieces that can complete a room without looking like everything came from the same place. I'm loving this dining combination.

Thanks again to the lovely Marianne at Style for Living for featuring little ol me in her abc series.. it was alot of fun!

outdoor options

There has been such an incredible update in outdoor living options these past few years. Since we have two little kids and a teeny tiny yard, a fire isn't really an option. Enter Restoration Hardware's accent gel burners. We spotted the tall ones in the store today and they're gorgeous. Pricing is around $300. You get a great outdoor atmosphere and it's convenient and contained. I guess we'll wait and see if our deck will be getting one :)

trays for everything

when I saw this little boot tray at Ballard, I thought it was pretty fitting for the lousy weather we've been having. I think it's charming, and I'd love one in my entry!

framed

I have always been a fan of a frame hung on the outside of a bookcase.. you? Would you/ have you?

just so.

I was flipping through pictures tonight and found this one of the girls, who, when my Gramercy monogrammed pillow arrived had to arrange it just so on the bed. So funny. They were patting it and fluffing it.. and got it just right in their eyes for this shot. Love it :)

Eames lounge chair.
It just looks so comfortable, like every stress would be taken away. Never mind you could mix it into almost any decor style. Gotta love that. Anyone have one?

three things, the importance of black in a space

( well, dark brown in this case! )

For me it's a necessity. How about you? What's a must have in your spaces?

key questions answered..

WOW! Thank you all so much for your interest in Stella & Dot! It's such an incredible company to partner with, they truly do everything they do for you, the stylist. Here are a few quick key points..

$199 starts your business. With that you receive a big box of brilliant business supplies. Catalogs, order forms, signage, stylist mag, hostess magazines, ring sizers, notecards..it's like Christmas morning opening this box! Oh yeah.. don't forget the $350 worth of free jewelry of your choice.

Stella & Dot has the most incredible training program and stylist support. I've worked for some pretty big companies, and they've got nothing on the time, energy and devotion that goes into stylist training and knowledge. Everything you could ever need is at your fingertips.

Website. SO EASY for those of us with blogs and facebook to talk about and sell the product outside of trunk shows.

Trunk shows are the modern home party. It's NOT about sitting around listening to your stylist talk.. your stylist is styling you and your girlfriends while you enjoy a glass of wine! Two hours.. tops!

Commission..25%, up to 30%. Incentives to earn free jewelry and trips. Once you start sponsoring your own team, your commissions increase.

YOU decide what you want to do a month. Want to save for a new sofa? Holiday? Summer wardrobe? Book alot of shows! Feeling busy with your full time job..book one or two and you'll still have extra spending money a month. It's truly so EASY and FUN. I adore it. Really :)

Visit STELLA & DOT, and email me if you have any other questions. I would love to have you on my team! ( sarah@sarahswansondesign.com )


It's so exciting to now be able to sponsor not only within Canada, but the US too!

to my US friends

Some of you know I became a Stella & Dot stylist a few short months ago. I never dreamed I would adore it as much as I do. I have a full time job, 2 kids and all the busy that goes along with them. It has given our finances a nice bonus every month, along with giving me the time to get together with girlfriends..never mind the $3500 worth of free jewelry I now have in my wardrobe.

Just as of today I am allowed to cross border sponsor. I'd LOVE to have you on my Stella team..I promise you'll love it! If you're interested in more details leave me a note with your email address.. I'd love to tell you more about it! x

round

I have a round dining table and I love it. It gets a little tricky trying to feed more than 4 people as we don't have a formal dining room, but oh well! I guess these pictures are telling me I also like a form of bench seating with it...

my house, new lighting

A few new lights were installed at our house this past week. The drum pendant in the living room is new, as well as the small schoolhouse style at the bottom of the steps. Next there are 2 hall lights upstairs I'd like to update. I love the little things :)

blue + white

I'm pretty consistent with my love of creamy white trim and soft neutral walls. These bold navy blue walls are darn striking though aren't they? I think I like them so much because they are paired with a great white..lovely aren't they? via

that'll be a need

I'm considering this Emersonmade linen topper an absolute MUST for my wardrobe. Yes, it's sold out right now, but my name is so on the list for the next batch.. I would possibly wear it everyday ;) ( well, look how cute it is with leggings! )
