Holy Dress on the wall. I’ve not seen this done with such drama before. My experience has always been with an innocent little number hanging quietly in a corner above a tub or a vanity….. This is BOLD, and loud, begging you to kick off your shoes, jump on the couch and dance the flamenco.
I just bumped into this Selina Lake website via Domestikatedlife.com.
We love you. Let us know you were here!

[...] I just came across this lovely post about my Yellow Dress Shot for my 1st book Bazaar Style on The Estate of things. [...]
The Estate of things is written and managed by Sarah and Betsy, two long time friends with a shared passion for home decor, renovation, and stylized living.
Location: Southern Pines, North Carolina
About: An admitted design junkie with a passion for remodeling old houses. I love decorating, DIY, renovation and everything in between. Follow along with remodeling projects and design chat here on tEot.
Favorite style: Traditional with a bohemian twist
Location: Los Angeles, California
About: Hobbies abound, but I’m more of an internet nerd, music lover and home decor enthusiast than many things. I’m into DIY and artsy stuff, color trends, furniture make-overs, and living out home decor fantasies via your design blog – and ours.
Favorite style: A sentimental mix of genres…. mostly boho, but there’s definitely a lot of Southern California influence sneaking in – casually.
Conversation!

This isn’t appealing at all. The rain slicker couch alone could send me running the other way and the dress just makes me feel like we’re in a waiting area at Planet Hollywood.
so that really cooks your pink goose!?
I’ll stick up for this, I love the theatrical component!
I think the dress idea paired maybe with a subtler couch could translate nicely to a more practical-application!
I tend to agree with Kate on this. If it weren’t so matchy matchy it would be fun without being so… so… dijon and yellow mustard.
Come to think of it Betsy, my Granny used to have an antiquey white childs dress hanging above a wash basin thing. This is definitely a modern spin on that.
I’m doing the flamenco with this thing. I think its a great image. Sometimes the appeal is about the drama of the photo, and not necessarily the practical application of living with something. (ie. I don’t wanna lay on that tucked in rubber couch slip) Not that I wouldn’t live with a beautiful dress splayed up on the wall above my couch. I even like the dijon on mustard… It was a Great Inspiration Find Kate. Thanks!!
The name of Kate’s blog is far superior to this image.
This image totally made my day. I love it! And no, I couldn’t actually live with that couch or hang a dress on the wall. But, I love this person’s daring color sense and crazy pairings. And I’m swiping this image to use in one of my posts. { Thank you! } Fabulous!
