I LOVE shopping , but must be in the mood to do so. I needed to get three last minutes gifts, and I knew I'd find what I was looking for at my location of desire. I needed a major fix of this joint, I was going through withdrawals mind you. One of my guilty pleasures is a shop in King of Prussia, an interior design company .....Aruhaus. Have you been????? Good luck getting me out of there!!!!! I could drop a fortune in there and part of someone else's too. I can never just walk pass it, it always beckons me like the poor sailors trying to avoid the sirens off a Greek Isle. Just take a peek......
First, I love how the store in laid out, very free flowing ,and the room set ups are stunning, love the colors they use ...gives me some great ideas. They also have phenomenal choices of lighting....
Ohhhhhhhh, above the bed perhaps????
Wait, sparkling barware alert!!!!!!!
Peek -a -boo.....
How cool is this???? Have so many books, but no more room on the shelves? Very cool way to still have them and display them, and their still easy to get to.
Dear Santa, I have tried my hardest to behave and stay out of too much trouble this year, but surely you don't expect miracles. I would just love to see this eggplant velvet chair under the tree come Christmas morn. I 'd be forever in your debit. Love-the Mistress.
Rub it nice and hard, and make a wish.......
What a cute place setting for a garden party......
I generally tend to get a major hard on for side chairs...this one is FABULOUS!
Cock anyone?
Looks like I was ahead of the curve with the deer head trend......
I love these deer heads so much, and majorly in love with the harlequin wall treatment, so much so, I am completing a major redo of the boudoir for spring. Thinking of one wall with the harlequins and in similar colors......
of course, I also love this color, but don't know, I change my mind quicker than my men.
It was another successful trip, I got my three gifts, plus some!!!! They put their purchases in a re-useable large canvas burlap bag, how cool is that? Many thanks to Gregory for allowing me to snap my pictures!!!!
Did you guys see anything to flip your fancy???
We don't have this store, but I love the looks of it!!!! Very chic items they have.
ReplyDeleteHave I been there??? YES.....this post had me swooning!!!!! Great taste in chairs, that velvet club chair is AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI guess this is not the time to mention my trip to IKEA . . . .
ReplyDeleteOh , I love Ikea, but was always a Crate and Barrel person myself.
DeleteGorgeous shop. Now if I rub it nice and hard, just right how many wishes will come?
ReplyDeleteI always depense in numbers of 8.
DeleteWilliam and I have been in several times. Most of our homes lighting came from here! Its hard to not come out empty handed. Beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteSide chairs are one of my favorite things. As for getting in the mood for shopping... you'd be shocked what $40 in gift cards can do to lift someone's mood.
ReplyDeleteor a bottle of gin.
DeleteI use Aurhaus alot for my clients. They always seem to have just the right amount of basic, but always have choc, clean lined furniture and unusual odd and ends. I too love those deer heads and that harlequin wall! BTW- YOU LOOK BUFF IN THE MIRROR! I see you
ReplyDeleteThe books under glass. I brought home a bunch of old books from my parents..... Just need another hundred square feet of house...
ReplyDeleteDon't we all!
DeleteWow! What a stunning store!!!!! I have seen at least 8 items just here to add to my Santa list. That first globe chandelier is exquisite
ReplyDeleteYes it is. You know I love my sparkle!
DeleteNow if a go go there and use your services my place would look spectacular and not like a fraternity house!!!! You probably come at a nice price I betting.i could always rub the lamp!!!!
ReplyDeletethe mistress may get around, but never comes cheap.
DeleteNever comes cheap and often!
Delete"Rub it nice and hard, and make a wish" - to how many men have you said THIS phrase? bwhahahahahaha!
ReplyDeletehow long do you have?
DeleteWouldn't you both like to know?
DeleteSo many wonderful things to choose from! You have excellent taste of course! I love to get decorating ideas from other places too. Thanks for all the great pics. Those chairs are beautiful and I definitely wouldn't mind making room for them. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! I need a bigger place. So nice to see you again, we missed you.
DeleteSome great things in there! Their furniture looks cool with style and not trendy. Now if I rub it nice and hard can we see more of what in the mirror?
ReplyDeletePrivate showings are only on Saturday nights at midnight.
DeleteI will admit, you got good taste. But the one chandelier, perhaps above the bed. Don't you already swing from enough in the boudoir?
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the harlequin sweetie, especially on that scale.
ReplyDeleteBigger the better right?
DeleteYes, I'll take some of that barware, the fabulous sidecahair, a could of those chandeliers and the handsome hunk in the mirror! The velvet chair is a stunner!
ReplyDeleteDazzling!
ReplyDeleteThe store, the decorations, the furnishings and especially the velvet chair are all to die for. But that tour guide is making me lust!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh you sweet talker you........
DeleteWith resources like this, it is any wonder your place is stunning? This place inspires me to step up my style at the house.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sparkling post!!! Their things are luxurious, I could be in their for hours looking and buying. I have a few pieces for my shop. LOVE that harlequin wall.....i say go for it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I love your blog....its always a feast for the eyes!!! I adore that reindeer in the first picture, or are my eyes deceiving me! And the genie lantern!!!!!! That had a chucking.
ReplyDeleteYes, the deer was silver. I loved it!!!!! Course I need a bigger place.
