Bringing Back The Vanity...

There is something to be said about the femininity of a woman having her "nook" in the bedroom, where she can sit and "freshen up" or put on her jewelry. I daydream about having an area like this, yet I am usually putting on the last touches of my makeup while fighting road rage in rush hour traffic and then hoping I applied everything in the right place when I get out of my car!

Refined is helping to bring back the idea of the vanity with our newest addition, a glossy red wrought iron vanity chair. I just love the lines of this little chair, and it reminded me of Zoey Deschanel's wrought iron bench featured in one of the last Dominos. Check out our site for more information.

Happy Friday

Spring has finally arrived...



I took this photo while on a jog today, and I just love tulip trees! I hope you get outside to enjoy the beautiful spring weather this weekend wherever you are! ~ Kathryn

Dare Devil Dining Room

As I was flipping through the January issue of W Magazine, I came across the home of Agnes Gund, a philanthropist and world renowned art collector. I was drawn to her fabulous dining room with its peacock blue walls and the captivating painting by Roy Lichtenstein. I love the juxtaposition between the contemporary, avant-garde painting with the traditional table and chairs. The blue walls seem to harmonize the juxtapositions into a delicious room!

I dream of having a dining room with walls painted this same blue, and maybe these fun chairs?
