DESIGN: BAR CART STYLE

Hello MBG girls, it's Stasia with Primp & Prime! As summer winds down, I love to host an end of the summer cocktail party. I am obsessed with styled bar carts with fun accessories that are not bar related. Adding a bold lamp, flower arrangement, large vase, or framed print, makes the cart oh so chic! Not only is it a great gathering area, it's a glamorous backdrop for that special signature cocktail of yours. Cheers!

DESIGN: STOOLS in DESIGN

Hi MBG's, it's Stasia with Primp & Prime. Living in a small space, I am always hunting for pieces that are versatile. I am completely obsessed with poufs and stools. Not only are they fabulous, they can be an extra seat for guests, or transition into a side table. Here are my favorite picks.

DESIGN: CHIC CHINOISERIE

Hi Made By Girl readers, it's Stasia with Primp & Prime. I love adding a bit of Chinoiserie to a space, whether it be a blue and white printed pillow, pagoda wallpaper or a porcelain ginger pot. Chinoiserie is not only chic, it adds a bit of exotic sophistication that will never go out of style. Check out a few of my favorite finds...

DESIGN: PRETTY PLACID BLUE

Hello Made by Girl readers, it's Stasia from Primp & Prime. Who's obsessing over Pantone's Spring 2014 color - placid blue? My fellow MBG contributor Sandra, recently did an amazing fashion post on this season's must have color. Not only are we seeing this color on the runway, we are seeing it in decorative details and architectural accents. I'm lusting over this soothing icy blue color...

Decor: Emerald Crush

Good Morning MBG readers! It’s Stasia from Primp and Prime.  Yesterday while I was scoping out West Elm’s spring collection, I fell completely head over heals for their sleek emerald agate jewelry boxes.  The layered colors of green, gold, and black are so luxurious that it inspired me to design a living space around them.

I wanted the space to reflect the detailed dimensions of the boxes. I pulled some ideas from magazines and scoped out pieces with that perfect tone of emerald green.  The space has charcoal gray and black velvet fabrics with touches of gold and emerald. The space is not only luxurious; it invokes a feeling of refined sophistication.
