Naturalist-Inspired Spring Mantel

Casa Community — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 05:00:38 PST

Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member stephaniepoli from the Su Casa group:

I frequently refresh the decor around my house. I'm getting ready for Spring with this naturalist-inspired mantel. The butterflies are vintage illustrations that I printed on card stock, and I collected the pine cone on a nature walk around the neighborhood. I created an easy bell jar by simply flipping over a glass.

I sketched this little feather illustration and framed in a shadowbox. Keep reading for a shot of the full mantel and the rest of my living room

Love It or Hate It? Serena van der Woodsen's Butterfly Wall Décor

Julia Walsh — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 08:00:33 PDT

This season on Gossip Girl, Blair graciously has a room decorated in her home for her BFF Serena, who's been somewhat shooed out of her family's apartment. While Serena's new bedroom at Blair's is quite neutral with grass cloth walls and soft apple green upholstery, the focal point is a statement-making arrangement of black butterflies on the wall behind her bed. It looks familiar to me so maybe it's available for sale, but I have a feeling it's an artist's sculpture piece. In any case, do you love it? Would you like to have it in your own home?

Look of the Day: Butterfly Wishes

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 05:50:22 PDT

As the sun shines brighter, my warm-weather dressing dilemma grows: how to look stylish with as little clothing as possible? Fab reader Lynzy has mastered this effortlessly. Her sweet butterfly wishes ensemble is incredibly unique and so not fussy. I'm crushing on everything from the breezy shorts, to the white wedges, to her crossbody bag.

Congrats to Lynzy!

Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Picture It: The Butterfly Effect

TresSugar — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 14:15:53 PDT

A girl looks at a butterfly at the Natural History Museum Butterfly Explorers exhibition in London today. Featuring butterflies from all over the world, the exhibition shows the insects in every stage of their short (one day to one month) lifespans.

Celeb Style: Hilary Duff

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: pants are underutilized in this world. Hilary Duff wore the perfect flirty, yet polished getup to a Shipley & Halmos event at Confederacy in LA. Her Patterson J. Kincaid butterfly tank is whimsical, while her wide-leg pants are classic. Nature-inspired jewelry, a knockout black Hermes Birkin, and cool yellow nail polish complete the lusty love child.

Inspired: The Darwin Centre at the Natural History Museum

CasaSugar — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 05:30:18 PDT

The Darwin Centre at the Natural History Museum in London is a new $78 million scientific research and collections facility that opens to the public on Sept. 15, 2009. In this photo, a projection of butterflies shows on the hand of an employee. Besides the butterfly projection, the museum also houses a collection of 17 million insect and three million plant specimens. Inspired by the butterfly projection, I decided to see what other fluttery creatures the home lepidopterologist might love to add to her house.
For an absolutely magical addition to your garden, consider this Neiman Marcus Butterfly Bench ($2,500). Made of steel with a galvanized zinc and epoxy finish, it will stand up to the elements, as well as any little girls that are eager to climb aboard this fanciful, fluttering bench.

A was for apples and b is for butterflies. Transform a tot's room into a magical wonderland by hanging a cluster of white festive flutter with a voluminous chandelier. Pepper the space with winged accessories like frames, step stools, or removable wall decals.

Guess What These Butterflies Are Made From?

CasaSugar — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 15:00:00 PDT

Artist Paul Villinski makes this stunning butterfly art from things he finds crushed on the streets of New York City, items found in most households, that we all regularly recycle. Can you guess what they are?

Steal of the Day: Mixko Delight Belle Light

CasaSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 14:00:53 PDT

I don't know what it is about butterflies lately, but they've had my heart all aflutter. The cutout butterflies on the Mixko Delight Belle Light ($49, reduced from $83) are quite dainty and appeal to the side of me that secretly loves pink, unicorns, and party dresses. And I love how the light just seems to peek through its skirted edge. I also don't think I've ever seen a felt lamp shade before . . . people seem to use whatever they can get their hands on these days (kitchen canisters, Tupperware, vellum). No, I don't think my husband would be a fan of this Lepidopteran light, but it would be quite cute in a girl's bedroom or a feminine powder room.

Trendtotting: Back-to-School With Butterflies

LilSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:23:39 PDT

School's in session. If you want to give your daughter fashion wings, send her off to hit the books in butterflies. The beautiful bugs are adorning everything from tops to pants to belts to adorable undies this season. Found at almost every price point and in most sizes, there's surely something to fit your girl's fancy.
