Change of scenery...

I'm sorry to anyone who's been checking back and nothing to be found... I changed blogging platforms a couple months ago... Please come visit my new website TylerWislerHome and my new blog, integrated into the site called Sh!t Tyler Says, which is sort of appropriate, no?!... Hehehe!

Thank you to everyone! Xoxo

Hope you like the new site!

2012 ⇨ ⇨ ⇨ 2013

We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, 

drawing up a list of work to be done, 

cracks to be patched.  

Maybe this year, to balance the list, 

we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, 

but for potential.

Nothing But Love...

Adrian, Paolo and I would like to wish everyone out there the very happiest of Holidays! Please love one another, appreciate each other, and embrace the beautiful diversity of the world!

This video by Brendan James for Marriage Equality was our inspiration for this year's holiday card!

Please spread the word, that LOVE does work!

2012-What a Year!...

I would be completely lying if I didn't admit that this year has FLOWN by!... I seriously can't grasp the fact that we are clicking another notch in that odometer of life. I'm so grateful for another 12 months of blessings and opportunities. Here are a few of the great people I got to hang with, and some of the fun things I was able to do!

Full of Love!

Emerald Green: Pantone's choice for 2013!

Well if you haven't seen it tweeted or broadcasted somewhere, the word is out!... Move over Tangerine Tango, because Emerald Green is moving in as the color of the year for 2013!

Now much like its predecessor, Emerald Green is a GORGEOUS color, but really best when used sparingly and thoughtfully. It seems to take center stage when it takes on a more supporting role than a lead character. Now this isn't the rule to everything and every situation of course, but here are some examples of ways that this color has made me GREEN with ENVY! (Okay that was bad...) But please enjoy the the images I gathered off Pinterest!

Hehehe... Last one's a CLASSIC!

Holiday Gift Guide... One stop shopping! Literally...

So it's here again! Can you believe another year has flown by, in what seems like the blink of an eye! I can't even get around the concept of shopping right now, I can barely fathom that I missed Summer! Well, if you're as stressed, or resistant to the crowds and Holiday Madness that goes along with the season as I am, let me offer some assistance... I bet you I can knock off everyone on your list this year with a one stop shop!

The reason I LOVE being a curator on OpenSky.com is because I'm choosing all of my favorite items! I hand pick things that I would love to give or receive, and I truly think there's something for everyone! Check out my PERFECT PICKS!

For the Kids, or the Kids at heart...

Balloon Animal Bookends

Avoiding clowns just got a little easier... Now you can enjoy balloon animals in the safety of your own home with a classic poodle-shaped bookend. A colorful piece like this will surely give your boring bookshelf some major personality.

Bank in the Form of a Pig by Harry Allen

I love this thing! It's like a fabulous piggy bank for grown-ups. It has just the right amount of whimsy mixed with the right amount of chic.

 

Night Lights Wall Decals

Decorate with soothing strands of glow in the dark wall decals and gently light your child's night without electricity or recharging. Arrange these beaming babies in any space – they're removable, reusable, and won't damage walls.

For the Guys in your life...

Animal Shot Glasses by MollaSpace

A dark and mysterious shot glass with an animal's head as a base. All the animals are designed to balance on their nose and ears/horns when placed as a bottom. Can be used as a candle holder, paper weight or simply for décor.

Wool Plaid Travel Essentials by elizabethW

This chic travel set is a throwback to the days when air travel was a stylish affair...so Mad Men! Channel your inner Don Draper with handsome neck pillow and eye mask, and tote your personal effects in a handsome toiletry bag. 

For the special Ladies in your life...

 

Royal Tine Jewelry Holders by IMM Living

I LOVE a good antler moment. That's why these jewelry stands are uh-mazing! If ever there were something that totally read boy-meets-girl, this would be it.


Antlers usually have me thinking of rugged taxidermy fit for a log cabin, but the glossy white finish gives it an über chic touch. I know these are ridiculously kitschy, but they're so useful. And who doesn't love something that's pretty but actually does something too?

Recycled Glass Bulb Vases

As you know, my design MO is all about cool, contemporary items that feature a kind of raw beauty, so I'm living for these bulb vases. Each one is slightly unique because they're made of recycled glass, and the colors are totally gorgeous and add a dash of sophistication—love!

I love planting bulbs in these—the exposed roots are an edgy counterpoint to a fabulous bloom on top— but if that feels like too much work, a bouquet of cut flowers is equally fabulous!

For any important person, that deserves some love from you this year...

Felt Magazine Holder

There's nothing like catching up on my leaning tower of design magazines when it's cold out. In between days when I can pour through everything cover-to-cover, I chuck my reading material into this chic felt tote--it makes my mess of magazines look neat and somewhat organized. Lifesaver!

 Acrylic Frames with Magnets by Wexel Art

These contemporary frames fit the bill perfectly. They're made from plexiglass (a decorator's best kept secret), and the borderless design makes it super easy to pop in prints and cards without the cost or permanence of framing. The art is held together with magnets, which makes for sleek effect, ensuring that your art is the star of the show. Genius!

 

Water Resistant Blanket Tote

This reversible blanket is my total essential for kicking off the Fall season. With water-resistant PVC on one side and snuggly fleece on the other, its perfect for every occasion from outdoor sporting events to family picnics. My go-to for drama-free excursions and enjoying the great outdoors!

Tell me I don't have you covered! 

Shop Happy! SHOP OPENSKY!

In the details...

So often there are conversations between designer and client as to why, this sofa is $1,500 and this sofa is $6,500... Well, as we all know, the devil is in the details... Many times we can't see what the differences are because it's integral into the structure and framing of the piece. Why is a bag from Target $50 and an Hermes bag $5,000? Same thing...

Here are some great detail shots of visible reasons why I'd pay more for something!

It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
