From Dorothy Draper to Kelly Wearstler and the always inspiring pages of Lonny, we have found ourselves continually drawn, like moths to a bright gold flame, to the influence of 1930's Hollywood Regency style as well as fun modern interpretations thereof.




Bushels of wheat, faux bamboo, and a heavy handed Midas touch are just a couple of the ways we are picking up the golden trend at the shop.

Martyn vs. The Babybroads

So, if you haven't developed a healthy dedication to the Million Dollar Decorators on Bravo yet, feel free to do that right about...now. And, if you didn't quite make it to the One Kings Lane container sale featuring London found treasures by Martyn Lawrence-Bullard this week, worry not, because a few of those sold-out items can be found right here in San Antonio, and luckily for you and your [no doubt fabulous] pocket-book, without the hefty price tags...



Come visit us at the shop or online at 5BROADS.COM

Inspired by: LSD

Lauren Santo Domingo that is. 

Here is a picture of her apartment recently featured on Vogue.com. There are a lot of cool things in this photo, but we looove that bulldog:
because he reminds us of one of our own favorite shop pups: 
He never has to be fed or taken out at inopportune times, in fact, rarely makes a peep...
And who wouldn't want their own chrome skull to kiss?


Well, you're in luck

Skull $98

Heads Up

I love this space designed by the ever eclectically stylish Kelly Wearstler, whose beautiful designs never lack an element of the unexpected. Nestled in this classic space splashed with color, we spotted a familiarly interesting piece: 
Originally drawn to these not only for their interesting quality, but also because it seemed they would make for a very cool pair of lamps, we were happy to stumble upon the way Kelly would use something like this mixed in with a space where you wouldn't expect to find them. 
$145 each

Always seems like a good lesson to keep in mind, that while style is essential the unexpected is what can make your space uniquely yours, interesting, and special. 


Happy Monday Everyone!

Crazy for Coral



Amelita and I have loved shells from the beginning.  So delicate in beautiful colors, they bring an elegant element of nature to any room. Whether placed on a coffee table as if to take the place of a sculpture, or added to book shelves as the small touches that really bring a room together, they stand like little treasures, reminders of places elsewhere and the beauty of the natural world.

We found one of our pieces of coral completely irresistible to buy and I think this cover from Elle Decor might be somewhat responsible...

I can't get this room out of my head. It's so beautiful and when you really look at it, there's not too much to it, each item just "packs a lot of punch" for lack of a better expression phrase. While the shells are prominently displayed, nothing is overpowered-- shells do not have to be beachy by any means. And conveniently enough, we have the majority of the items you'd need to create a similar space:
Basically the exact same coral sculpture as on the cover: 

I don't know how to describe the effect it has in a space, but it's really something. It has a captivating quality to it that in my opinion makes it all the more valuable. Simply, it's beautiful. 

We also have quite the variety of shells perfect for shelves:


And these are just plain cool:
$575

Then bring the look together with classic neutral staples and fun accessories:

$1,050

We love poufs too!
Only $109!

Despite the weather outside, feeling inspired? Come see us! Happy Saturday!
